Bamboo clothing and what to take on a weekend trip

Short answer: Two sets of underwear, two pairs of socks, one set of nightwear, an extra top and a layer you can take off. That covers two nights without filling more than a small bag.

Underwear and socks

Two sets of each cover two days. If you wash along the way, you can manage with one. See bamboo underwear for men.

Nightwear you can use in the morning

A neutral set can be used both to sleep in and for breakfast. That saves you a set. See loungewear in bamboo for women.

An extra top

Tops get dirty first. An extra T-shirt weighs almost nothing. See bamboo T-shirts for men.

A layer you can take off

A top with a zip covers temperature swings without you having to pack two tops. See sweat clothing.

Roll all of it

Rolled clothing takes up less room and creases less. See washing and care.
