From Manera

Our bamboo Poncho has been considered the best for quite a while now. We did not make any compromise during its conception and used 550gsm high-quality fabric only.

We now offer a 30 percent lighter alternative for summer or for traveling, so we have designed the Summer Poncho with the same bamboo fabric in 380gsm.

We chose bamboo fabric for mainly two reasons: The Bamboo material has many great characteristics:

• Ultra soft feeling
• Absorbs water three to four times better than a regular cotton
• Dries twice as fast as other materials
• Naturally bacteriostatic
• Naturally hypo-allergenic

And a reduced impact on earth:

• Grows without fertilizers and pesticides
• Bamboo farming needs four times less water than cotton
• Absorbs 30% more CO2 than a tree, creates 30% more oxygen
• Prevents deforestation: Can grow 1 meter per day
• Prevents erosion because of its long roots
