Manera Bamboo Winter Poncho

From Manera

This is the perfect accessory to change before and after riding, plus it will get you warm and dry in a minute. Poncho is a widely used product, but we’ve been looking for a warmer, softer, cleaner and greener product.

This new version features a higher collar that protects your neck from the wind, a larger bottom cut to improve freedom of movement and a hood tightening system.

We chose bamboo fabric for mainly two reasons: The Bamboo material has many great characteristics:

• Ultra soft feeling
• Absorbs water three to four times better than a regular cotton
• Dries twice as fast as other materials
• Naturally bacteriostatic
• Naturally hypo-allergenic

And a reduced impact on earth:

• Grows without fertilizers and pesticides
• Bamboo farming needs four times less water than cotton
• Absorbs 30% more CO2 than a tree, creates 30% more oxygen
• Prevents deforestation: Can grow 1 meter per day
• Prevents erosion because of its long roots
