Hemp is more absorbent than cotton and can hold dye longer than any other fabric. This will keep your colors from fading faster than Tide. Hemp’s porous texture allows for air circulation, keeping it cool during the summer. Similar to wool and bamboo, hemp is also more comfortable in cooler weather.

Hemp is eight-time stronger than the flax linen when you consider durability. As we have already mentioned, hemp can produce 600% greater fiber than flax with the same amount of land. Additionally, hemp does not deplete the soil like flax. This makes hemp a more sustainable option.

Hemp, as a plant, is better suited to the wild and requires less water. It also doesn’t require any pesticides or herbicides. Cotton, however, requires more fertilizers, pesticides, and water than hemp. Hemp is also fast-growing and requires very little nutrition. Hemp does not strip the soil from its essential nutrients so it is possible to re-cultivate the same soil. Hemp produces a higher yield per acre than its counterpart, cotton. Hemp produces 1500lbs of fiber per acre, while cotton only produces 500lbs.

Athletic wear has many benefits, and hemp is, without a doubt, a great option. It is superior to polyester outfits. For sportswear and other high-performance garments, naturally produced hemp fabric has been used in increasing numbers. While synthetic sportswear can help with sweating, they are not very good for your body. Hemp does not have this problem.
