Cooling off with Nicole Wall
I love my bamboo clothing and have
attached a picture of it in action. We had
initially travelled to America for me to
compete in the Triathlon World
Championships in Chicago but we stayed
longer and completed a four-day hike in
the Grand Canyon. I used the stripey
socks, support vest and other bits for my
sport as well because bamboo is a great
performance fabric and just so
comfortable. Anyway here is me cooling
off after a day’s hike at the bottom of an
extremely hot Grand Canyon wearing the
sports bra in a lagoon at Eagle Creek.
Susie Cramp’s Buton conservation project
I’m writing to your company because of the love of the outdoors that is behind your
clothing and what would the outdoors be without the nature that lives there? I’ve
bought clothing from you before and was impressed by the softness and lovely
styles and the environmentally friendly nature of bamboo.
This summer I will be undertaking conservation research in the unchartered
rainforest of Buton Island in Indonesia with the conservation organisation
Operation Wallacea. I’m involved with an initial assessment of biodiversity to get an
idea of the impact of the hunting and deforestation that is happening.

Camino De
Santiago Trail
I have just finished
walking the Camino
de Santiago which
took me 38 days
carrying all my
worldly goods the
whole way, over
800kms – that’s
freedom! I was 60 just
after Christmas and
although not the
quickest I was happy
with it – it’s not about
speed anyway. I wore
my BAM vest every
single day. It was
perfect due to its
comfort and both
warm and cool and of
course it didn’t smell.
Thanks for your stuff!
