When the opportunity came up to road-test a Men’s Zip-Neck Organic Bamboo Baselayer by BAM I knew my dad would be delighted to have a go at testing it out. My dad is a keen fisherman and he has all the specialised clothing to go with it…such as waterproof jackets and waders,etc. One thing he didn’t have though is a baselayer like this one from BAM. When the top arrived from BAM they had sent me a size Large as I had requested and they had picked a lovely indigo coloured baselayer for him. The zip-neck baselayer that they sent normally retails at £40 but they currently have the Indigo on offer at £20. At the time of writing this (29/04/11) it is currently still available in all sizes except for small. The zip-neck baselayer in black or black/grey is still full price at £40. They also sell a zip-neck baselayer for women and they currently have selected colours on offer at the time of writing this (29/04/11).

The quality of the product is amazing and the organic bamboo fibres make the top so silky smooth against the skin. The top is made from 70% bamboo, 26% cotton, 4% lycra. Bamboo has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties plus it is 3-4 times more absorbent than cotton. The bamboo fibres wicks away moisture from the body which then evaporates and in turn keeps you drier and more comfortable. All this makes it perfect to be worn close to your skin. Bamboo has lots of superb properties such as the fact it is UV protective and cuts out up to 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays.

BAM seems like a very down-to-earth company run by friendly people who really want to help. Here is something they have written on their website and I just the love the way it makes me feel as though I WANT to buy from them.
‘We’d genuinely rather make a smaller profit and have loads of really pleased and satisfied customers and suppliers and have fun ourselves than go the traditional, corporate route of ‘get away with what you can, maximise profit and pretend to be whiter than white’. We’re all about transparency, honesty, integrity and fun. If we ever fall short please tell us.’

I like the fact that the delivery charges are affordable and fair. BAM are not setting out to rip you off on the price of the postage…unlike many internet companies that you come across. There is nothing I hate more than finding a bargain item to buy and then finding out the P+P costs about the same!
Here are BAM’s delivery charges for within the UK:-
up to £25 order £2.75
up to £40 order £3.50
up to £80 order £4.00
up to £200 order £4.50
The BAM website is really easy to navigate and simple to use. I like the fact that they have nice clear photos of the products they are selling plus they have a zoom button so you can see lots of lovely detail.
