Bula Action Beanie

Half bamboo, half wool, all winner!

All hail the under appreciated beanie. You lose so much heat through your head, every winter athlete should keep one nearby to stay toasty. Here at GreenDella, I keep one shoved in my back pocket for when the temps drop at night. No jacket, no problem.

Bamboo is just starting to hit the scene as a technical fiber. Anti-microbial and sweat-wicking, it joins wool as simply great stuff for athletes.

Outside Magazine just featured the Bula Action Beanie in its annual Winter Gear review. Not only is the bamboo blend cool, it uses no artificial dyes for coloring. They stated that if they gave a green award, this would be the champ.

Not everything bamboo is green, though. Many bamboo fibers go through extensive chemical processing, polluting the heck out of the environment during production. Do your research before you buy and check to see how your fibers are made.

There does not seem to be a website for Bula, but the beanie can be found at various shops. Here is a link to just one of them.
