The downside is they wont keep you as cool as man made fibres . I've been looking at this recently as I want to do a bit of bicycle touring and would be limited in what I can carry. Something that stinks less, dries fast with the odd wash in a campsite sink would be ideal. Bamboo seems to be significantly cheaper than marino so I might try that first.

However, now any clothing must be medium or bigger if you are male, so any fitted tops are out of the question. I am not small (6ft and 76kg), but a medium flaps around on me. Sadly it seems to be catering for the increasing rotundness of the nation as a whole
