About Us
Bamboo Rider was born in the autumn of 2010 as a ride wear brand prepared to take responsibility for the impact their products have on the environment. Whether you ride in the ocean, in the mountains or in the urban landscape, whatever your preferred method of expression, protecting the environments we use every day is what we're all about. Our aims and goals are to design products replacing as many environmentally harmful materials as possible, with functional, eco-friendly alternatives, delivering performance, great design, durability, and style in a sustainable way, reducing environmental impact.
Although every effort is made to remain completely green in our quest, at some point there has to be compromise and a balance has to be struck between ethics and functionality for our products and brand to succeed. We only select and source materials and products from factories using only renewable energy who are regulated and accredited by the Fair Wear foundation, Soil Association, the Carbon Trust and the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
We've carefully selected our printing methods to minimise the impact on the environment by using inks that take less time to cure so they spend less time in the ovens, saving electricity and making use of an in-built filter system to ensure no inks escape into the local environment.
Bamboo Rider are passionate about championing unique talent from around the world, supporting riders, photographers, artists, musicians, designers and DJ’s. Raising their profile and bringing attention to their work. We currently have individuals representing the brand from the UK, France, Norway, Switzerland, Ibiza, Australia and New Zealand.
