Most recent edit: I just got another of these shirts and it was fantastic right out of the box – no more wash it first to love it. It felt great just like they usually do after a washing one time. These continue to be the best T-shirts round and my go to shirt for daily wear. The hemp take a lot of abuse too and holds up very well.Old review below:I got this shirt by mistake, I ordered the bamboo and got their hemp. My first impression was that it was thick and scratchy, but now I love it! The shirt just needs washing or two and it is fantastic!Once you wash and wear this shirt it comes to life. In fact the harder I am on this shirt the more I like it. I been in the ocean, the pool, on runs and bike rides and this shirt has only gotten better. If you live in a dessert climate it will be more of a winter T-shirt. The bamboo is much better on really hot days, since it is smoother and lighter.I have ordered more of them after getting one by mistake and now they are my absolute favorites. The fit is perfect! I stick to the darker colors – they look nice.I am a hemp convert, I thought it was too hippie to try it, but I love it.How to choose from 2 great shirts (Onno hemp or Onno bamboo)?Bamboo is softer right out of the box (better for gifts)Bamboo is better for super hot climatesBamboo is lighter for runningBamboo packs a little smallerBamboo dries a little fasterHemp feel great after some wearing and washing (scratchy out of the box, wash right away)Hemp shape and material holds up a little better to abuse (bamboo is thinner)Hemp colors are not as shiny as the photos seem – olive is a military olive not shiny at all (charcoal, olive and black are favs)Hemp will hold up to contact with your metal gear as well. the bamboo is thin and rubbing on metal wears a hole pretty quickly.I wear both the hemp and the bamboo all the time. I double up the bamboo often to add layered versatility.
