Built By Bamboo.
Made For The Way You Move.

For nearly a decade, we’ve taken one of the world’s most sustainable, naturally-replenishing resources and used it to redefine performance. It’s an intricate process that produces something simple: an absurdly comfortable fabric that works as hard as you do.

OUR MISSION

1.  BAMBOO BELOW SEA LEVEL

OUR MISSION

To enhance the active experience through the innovation of original fabrics.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

AUTHENTIC We’re a family company guided by principles and core values.

EXPERIENCED We bring 68 years in textile development, garment design and manufacturing to tasc Performance apparel.

INNOVATIVE Through our exclusive BamCo® patent-pending fabric finishing process, tasc Performance apparel achieves it’s unparalleled feel and performance without the use of chemical enhancements.

ORIGINAL We’re from New Orleans. We march to the beat of our own brass band in everything we do. We look to nature for performance, not chemicals from a lab. All our unique fabrics are original to tasc Performance and are not available from any other brand.

WHY BAMBOO?

2.  Comfort First

Over our long family history in the apparel business, we have worked with a complex variety of raw materials, finishing methods, and fabric blends.

We were never fully satisfied with the standard processes, which yielded garments that either: A) felt good, but did not perform (Cotton) or B) performed, but irritated the skin and retained odor (Polyester).

In 2006, we started working with early fabrics sourced from Moso timber bamboo*. The fabric had an amazing hand-feel, but was very difficult to work with: it pilled and did not hold its shape or color. However, we were intrigued by the performance characteristics of the bamboo plant, and we spent over 2 years developing our unique process (BamCo®). The result is a fabric that feels better than cotton and performs without chemical enhancements.

The Moso timber bamboo plant used as the raw material source in our products, grows quickly (without the use of water or pesticides), and is responsibly managed (FSC Certified). The bamboo is reduced to a cellulose level and regenerated into Viscose, or Rayon.

 

 FACTORY RELATIONSHIP

4.  Tight Knit

Our products are manufactured in India at a factory that produces exclusively for tasc Performance. Ninety percent of the energy used in making tasc Performance garments is renewable energy, much of it provided by solar panels installed at our factory. We work closely with our factory team in India to ensure the highest quality in every garment and ensure that business best practices are upheld for everyone who helps create tasc Performance fabrics and apparel.

At our core, tasc Performance is a family business. Our success is measured by the relationships we maintain and grow with each employee and your satisfaction with every piece of tasc Performance apparel.
