Sweat Heaven sure thinks so! If we are talking about breathability, softness, and comfort, bamboo has the edge over cotton. It is also a stronger fiber than cotton, so it will last longer.
Bamboo can absorb three times its weight, making it a remarkable, natural absorbent material. As a fabric, bamboo can release the moisture it has absorbed much more quickly than can cotton, making it superior in both absorbance and drying time versus the finest organic cotton.
In addition to its wonderful physical characteristics, bamboo is considered the fastest growing plant in the world. There are many species of bamboo, and Moso is used for making fibers for fabrics. It grows at extraordinary rates, 3 feet in 24-hours, with no need for irrigation and no need to apply pesticides. It is a fabric that will be used more and more in the future to meet the needs of athletes without high environmental impact!

Absolutely not! Any activity that requires dry hands for performance will benefit from the outstanding natural characteristics of bamboo. Tennis (of course!), but also basketball, football, hockey, weight lifting, yoga, biking, rowing, kayaking and more!
No. bamboo starts out softer than cotton, and the more you wash it, the softer it feels!
Yes, our bamboo fabric is very breathable and can dry quickly on its own. Sweat Heaven has found that if semi-saturated, our sweatbands can dry in 45-60 minutes in partial sun, at least 83 degrees, and a soft breeze. If fully saturated, you can take them off, squeeze and/or shake them to release excess moisture, but fully saturated will require a clothes dryer to dry them quickly.
