Only thing, do the baggies come in different colours and more importantly, do they have belt loops?  Hemp is supposed to be darn hard wearing and a very good material on a lot of levels. There is always a long line of people in tie-dye wanting to chew your ear off about how it's a wonder material and will save the free world. Edited January 26, 2017 by hellocolour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicyclegear Posted January 26, 2017 Share I'm curious how a hemp baggy deals with moisture and ventilation.Hi popcorn_skollie moisture and ventilation are not a problem with baggy. The hemp we have used is a medium canvas at 285 gram. It dries very quickly and the textile characteristic allows for airflow through the baggy, remembering we recommend wearing a bib like a Vermarcsport PRR under it.  To be honest a synthetic baggy made with a "stretch fabric" will have more stretch. However, the hemp canvas, because of its nature and weave, has plenty of give and has been designed as a performance product. Bicyclegear.co.za has taken this direction with this product as hemp is a natural sustainable fibre alternative better suited for the conscious mountain biker. It is strong and if you fall it won't tear like a synthetic textile. It dries quickly and you can take it on a multi-day adventure and it won't smell being a natural product with anti-bacterial properties.

There is always a long line of people in tie-dye wanting to chew your ear off about how it's a wonder material and will save the free world. We have started with a grey version with a red thread. It is a great material to work with and the fact that it is sustainable is a real bonus in an industry where synthetics are the norm. I would love to save the world with these baggies, but I think Tesla is going to do that...

The hollow fibre allows for better breathability and quicker evaporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavo Posted January 26, 2017 Share Bicyclegear, I think your sizing chart for the MTB baggy needs to be reviewed in terms of waist size. Don't think are many real life people who have waists from 28-36cm... The baggy looks good and your efforts to use a sustainable conscious product is rad, but I will wait for a colour other than grey. Grey is not the most forgiving of sweat marks and I would rather not look "a bit damp" while riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey came out as the colour of choice for the launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
