Bamboo clothing for long flights

Short answer: On a plane the temperature changes, the air is dry, and you sit still for many hours. Soft clothes in layers that can be taken on and off work better than one thick piece.

Layers rather than one layer

The cabin is often cold at the start and warm later. Two thin layers are easier to regulate with than one thick jumper. See bamboo long-sleeved t-shirt for men.

Trousers you can sit in

Soft trousers with an elastic waist are more comfortable than jeans on long journeys. See bamboo sweatpants for women.

Socks

Feet swell on long flights. A sock without a tight cuff is more comfortable. See socks that do not squeeze.

Underwear that does not chafe

You sit still for many hours, so seams are felt more clearly. See bamboo underpants for men.

Dry air

The air in the cabin is very dry. A fabric that does not build up static clings less to the skin. See antistatic clothes.

Pack light

Bamboo viscose creases less than cotton and takes up little room. See bamboo clothing for the summer holiday.

After arrival

The clothes can be rinsed and hung up to dry overnight, which means you can pack fewer pieces.

Frequently asked questions

What is best to wear on a plane?

Two thin layers, soft trousers and socks without a tight cuff.

Does bamboo clothing crease in the suitcase?

Less than cotton. Most creases drop out when the clothes are hung up.

Why do feet swell?

Because you sit still for many hours. A sock without a tight cuff gives less pressure.
