Bamboo clothing for people who cycle to work

Short answer: Cycling brings sweat on a short ride, and then a whole workday follows on top of it. An inner layer that dries fast decides whether you sit dry at your desk by nine.

The sweat needs to go fast

The commute is often short, but sweat lingers if the inner layer cannot pass it on to the outer layer. Check out bamboo underwear for men and choose a thin layer that moves moisture away from the skin instead of trapping it under the jacket.

Change your top at work

If the ride is long enough that you sweat through, a change of top is the only real solution, not more ventilation in the jacket. Check out bamboo T-shirts for men and pack a fresh one in your bag, so the workday starts dry at the desk.

Chafing on the saddle

A long ride easily leads to chafing, especially in damp weather or on a new saddle. Check out bamboo cycling undershorts and use long legs or a seamless layer that reduces friction between skin and fabric through the whole ride.

Socks inside cycling shoes

Closed cycling shoes with no ventilation are where the sock material does the most for comfort. Check out all bamboo socks for men and choose a sock that moves moisture away, so the foot does not turn cold and clammy in the last kilometres.

Hang the clothes to dry

Cycling clothes left sitting in a bag all day without air smell sour by the ride home. Hang them somewhere with airflow, on a windowsill or a hanger, so they are dry and ready again before you head home.

A layer you can remove along the way

Temperature shifts from when you leave home to when you arrive, and an outer layer you can easily remove on the way saves you from arriving overheated. A thin set underneath beats a single thick layer, because you can adjust it yourself as needed.

Rain changes everything

In rain, even a short ride turns into a challenge, because moisture from outside settles on top of sweat from inside. An inner layer that still moves moisture even when the outer layer is wet makes the difference between arriving cold and arriving ready for the day.

Wash often, dry fast

Check out washing and care for the right temperatures for cycling clothes, and wash them often instead of letting them pile up. Bamboo viscose dries faster than cotton, which means one set can be ready again in time for the next morning ride.

Two sets make cycling easier

With two sets of cycling clothes in rotation, one can always dry while the other is in use. That removes the pressure to wash every single day and makes it easier to stick with cycling, even when weather or schedule gets tight.
