Dream Works Bamboo™ fabrics are made from a special blend of viscose from bamboo. Bamboo's soft, silky feel, its ability to take colors well and its breathability are designed to appeal to those who seek the very best in natural luxury. It's so soft you can actually feel the bamboo softness for yourself. Bamboo is often blended with 50% cotton to add structure to garments. Bamboo fabrics also feel warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

- Naturally soft. Bamboo apparel is softer than the softest cotton, and it has a natural sheen like silk or cashmere.

Allergy reduced. Bamboo’s organic and naturally smooth fiber properties are non-irritating to the skin, making it ideal for people with skin sensitivities or other allergies and dermatitis.

Thermal regulating.ensuring that you are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Bamboo clothing's excellent wicking properties also make it ideal for warm summer days.

- Absorbs moisture. A cross-section of bamboo fiber reveals various micro-holes, allowing bamboo cloth to have superior absorption. This allows bamboo cloth to absorb and evaporate human sweat rapidly. Bamboo fiber is four times more absorbent than cotton.

- Breathable. The porous qualities of bamboo fiber account for it's breathability; clothing made of bamboo resists clinging during hot weather or exercise.

- Anti-bacterial. Bamboo fabric contains a naturally occurring anti-microbial agent, kun, that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it, which means it helps keep you odor free.

- UV protection. Bamboo naturally provides added protection against the sun's harmful UV rays.

Because of it's anti-bacterial and UV resistant properties, bamboo fiber clothing is particularly well suited for performance and exercise wear.

Dream Works , provides welcome relief and protection from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.

Merino Wool

Our merino combines the best qualities of traditional wool, synthetics and cotton. It’s soft and non-itch, it’s warm in the cold and cool in the heat, it breathes to prevent clamminess, and it has a miraculous ability to warn off stinkiness .And because it was made in the mountains, rather than a lab, merino wool is renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.

DRY

DREAM WORKS merino pulls moisture vapour to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates before the vapour turns into sweat. It can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture before you even start to feel wet, and it dries fast. (Not quite as fast as synthetics, but the world isn’t perfect...)

LIGHTWEIGHT

Our merino has an exceptionally high warmth-to-weight ratio. The fine, lightweight fibres give you all the warmth of a heavy sweater – without the bulk.

BREATHABLE

Synthetic fibres feel clammy because moisture vapour can escape only through holes in the fabric. But with DREAM WORKS merino, the fibre as well as the fabric breathes to prevent you overheating.

ODOUR RESISTANT

DREAM WORKS merino resists odour naturally, and can be worn for days — even weeks — without washing.

FIRESAFE

Wool is the least flammable of fibres, and the safest to have next to your body. It’s self-extinguishing and, unlike synthetics, it won’t melt and stick to your skin – so it’ll keep you safe around the campfire.

Sunsafe

DREAM WORKS merino has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Rating) of at least 50, which is considered the ultimate in sun protection. That’s higher than cotton and most synthetics.

Easy Care

Resilient DREAM WORKS merino is machine washable, dries quickly (on the line or on the back of a chair – not in a tumble dryer ) and bounces back into shape without ironing, which makes it ideal for travel.

For hikers, runners, road cyclists, mountain bikers, skiers, snowboarders and a host of other athletes, there’s no better performance fabric than DREAM WORKS merino.

ZnO

Our most advanced fabric embeds millions of tiny particles of zinc oxide into every fiber. This is the same ingredient used to block UVA and UVB in broad-spectrum sunscreens and to treat mild skin irritations and burns. These ZnO particles cannot wash or wear out and will provide healthful benefits for the life of the garment. Made of cotton blended with bamboo viscose and a bit of spandex, this fabric is ultra-soft, cool and never loses its shape. Incredibly lightweight, highly breathable and remarkably durable.

Organic Cotton
