Researchers from Deakin University investigate the ability of bamboo clothing to block UV radiation from the sun. It was found that bamboo fabric was able to block out 60% more UV rays than cotton fabric. They said that this was especially important for residents of Australia, where skin cancer is becoming more and more common. The researchers also noted that clothing made from bamboo had anti-bacterial properties and it is excellent at absorbing moisture from the skin. These last two features make bamboo an ideal material for eco-friendly yoga clothing because of the amount of sweating that one usually goes through during and after a yoga class.
