BAM Mens Yoga Waffle Hoody

We are already big fans of BAM here at The Review Smiths, their clothing is so soft and their commitment to sustainability means there’s a lot to love. The Yoga Waffle Hoody is no exception, and it comes in either Dove Grey or Washed Black. Made from a bamboo-viscose blend and organic cotton, it nails that sweet spot between buttery-soft and structured enough to hold its shape.
The waffle-knit fabric is cozy without being heavy if that makes sense, it has enough weight to it hug the body without feeling oppressive. It’s approximately 380 gsm, so it keeps you warm on cool mornings, yet feels breathable when you’re layering up. The relaxed cut and generous hood, with its soft crossover neckline add a subtle touch of flair and keep the fit casual, not sloppy. The kangaroo pocket is just the right size, and the small BAM icon patch gives it a quiet, clean look.

The fabric has a slight stretch thanks to the elastane, so it moves with you during yoga flows, walks, or just lounging around. As it is designed as a yoga top it works well with slow sessions and long holds. It will rise during inversions, downward dog for example and you may find the hood gets in the way when you are upside down. It can also get toasty during faster flows, Ashtanga for example.

Care-wise, it washes and dries well, a real plus given how soft the texture is. The only thing to watch is sizing, it runs true to size, but if you’re between sizes and prefer a looser fit, go up one. As for BAMs sustainability they use Bamboo as their primary material, is the world’s fastest-growing crop, absorbing up to 5x more carbon than trees and restoring soil health, making it one of the most sustainable resources on the planet. There is so much more that BAM do to keep their company sustainable, but we recommend you checking out the website otherwise we will be here all day.

All told, the BAM Yoga Waffle Hoody is a smart, comfortable, and conscious choice. It’s not flashy, but it brings thoughtful design, soft waffle knit, relaxed fit, useful hood and sustainability into your everyday wardrobe. RRP £75
