MANERA Bamboo Poncho

This is the perfect accessory to help keeping your warm while changing in and out of your wetsuit. We chose bamboo fabric for mainly two reasons:

First, to minimize our impact on earth, as bamboo is an incredible plant:

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

Second because the amazing quality and benefits the bamboo gives to a poncho:

• 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
• Material 80% bamboo / 20% cotton

Also, for ethical reasons we decided to avoid cotton as much as we can:

• Cotton farming consumes 25% of all pesticides sold in the world
• 22.000 people die each year because of pesticides used in cotton production
• Cotton irrigation wastes 2/3 of the world drinking water resources
• Fertilizers and pesticides represent 40% of the cotton production cost
