We want to use what nature has to offer us. Bamboo naturally has properties that are excellent for use in sportswear.

The bamboo fiber is hollow, allowing the fabric to absorb water, and therefore sweat with odor particles, well. Of course you think, but then my shirt will smell really bad. Nothing is less true. Bamboo has other beautiful properties for this. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and the fibers have micro holes, allowing this moisture to easily evaporate. This means you can enjoy a dry and fresh shirt for a long time.

This hollow fiber structure with micro holes also ensures that you are never too hot, but also never too cold. Warm air is retained in the hollow fibers, but the excess warm air can escape through the holes. In summer this effect has a cooling effect and in winter it is nice and warm.

The bamboo plant is hard and super sturdy, which makes you think it is a type of wood. Yet bamboo is really a grass and, like most grasses, the bamboo fiber is hollow. In addition, the bamboo fiber is also round and smooth. This gives the smooth, round appearance no resistance to other surfaces and therefore feels so wonderfully soft on your skin, even after frequent washing.

A lot of our products contain cotton to ensure the quality and lifespan. All of the cotton we use is organic. By combining bamboo with organic cotton, our products gain longevity and maintain their structure during workouts.

Bamboo yarns are quite elastic. This partly ensures that bamboo is so comfortable to wear, but is also a disadvantage if no other raw material is added. A garment made of 100% bamboo will quickly lose its fit. This is why we choose to add organic cotton. Cotton is many times more dimensionally stable than bamboo. By making a bamboo-cotton blend, our Fortex sportswear gets all the good properties.

Our items are manufactured in Turkey and Portugal. Being near our warehouse in the Netherlands helps reduce fuel emissions by keeping transport times and distances short.
