That's high performance, low impact™.
High performance
Super soft
The process of making bamboo viscose creates long, smooth fibres that translate as the softest, silkiest feeling fabric. That’s important when you sweat.
No skin irritation
Those long, smooth fibres combine to form a fabric that really excells for those with sensitive or allergy-prone skin. And great for those who don’t too.
Regulates body temperature
The human body needs to maintain it’s core temperature at safe levels when exercising. Unlike synthetic fabrics such as polyester, bamboo fabric has low thermal conductivity, meaning it doesn’t retain your body heat and thus, keeps you cool.1
Breathable
Tiny holes in the fibres of the bamboo fabric (called Nanopores) allow your body breathe. Which is rather handy when you’re exercising.
Less smell
It’s a fact - when you sweat, it combines with the bacteria on your skin. Polyester increases the buildup of bacteria which means your clothes stay smelly, no matter how many times you wash them. Bamboo viscose fabric decreases the amount of bacteria.2 Simple. Less smell, happy days.
Strong
Viscose from bamboo has great tensile strength, meaning your shirt will keep it’s structure even under prolonged, heavy use.
Stretch fabric
We’ve developed our fabric to include the smallest percentage of elastane. This allows Movero garments to move as you do, however you choose.

It's the world's most sustainable crop
Fact: Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet and naturally regenerates once it’s been harvested. An acre of self-replenishing bamboo will give 10 times more fabric more than cotton, which needs to be replanted annually.3
Bamboo saves water
Unlike cotton, which is a thirsty crop. To grow the cotton for a single t-shirt requires the same amount
of water as 1 person drinks in 3 years. And 73% of the world’s cotton is irrigated with our most
precious resource.4
Bamboo grows naturally from rainfall.
Anti-plastic
Synthetic, man-made fabrics don’t play well with the planet. Each time you wash your polyester shirt, plastic fibres are released into the ocean, where they are accumulating by the millions of tonnes. They’re found in everything from the marine life to our own bodies.
Here today, Gone tomorrow
Like the other natural stars of the fabric world, bamboo fibre is 100% biodegradable. Ever wondered where your old shirt ends up when you throw it away? In the earth. Forever (if it’s synthetic). Not for long if (it’s bamboo).
We're not creating hungry panda bears
There are over 1000 species of bamboo grass and the stuff that our fabric is made from is not the same as that preferred by panda bears. Our bamboo is grown organically and doesn’t disturb the natural forestation or wildlife. Just ask OEKO-TEX, OCS and GOTS - they have been there and checked it out.
