For me its the clothing brand Tasc. I've bought a couple base layers from them and a quarter zip mid layer. Great stuff. I had never owned bamboo fiber clothing before, but I'm now a very big fan.

Ha! 100% the reason I bought it. My icebreaker merino wool base layers are way too hot above 10 degrees. The light weight Columbia poly base layers I have wreak so bad I wanted to kick myself out of the car on the way home from the mountain. So I searched for non-stinky base layers and read about bamboo fiber.

My first pair of POC goggles. Love them. Good lens (have no idea what it is, but I see better in flat light). No fogging. Got them 50% off end of last season, so I didn't spend much more than my normal cheapo ones. I usually am rough with goggles, but these I'm actually taking care of and putting back into it's bag each day - I want to have them awhile they are so nice.
