Bamboo clothing for packing and what takes up least room

Short answer: Bamboo viscose takes up little room and creases little, which makes it one of the best materials to pack. Roll rather than fold, and it takes up even less.

Roll rather than fold

Rolled clothing takes up less room and gets fewer sharp creases. That is especially true of jersey, which most bamboo clothing is sewn in. See bamboo T-shirts for men.

Creases fall out

Bamboo viscose smooths itself when it hangs for an hour. That means you do not have to iron along the way. See washing and care.

Underwear weighs nothing

Three sets of underwear take up less room than one extra jumper. Pack plenty of what you wash and little of what you do not. See bamboo underwear for men.

One set of homewear

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

Wash along the way

If you wash in the sink, you can halve the amount. Three sets cover a whole trip. See bamboo T-shirt for women.
