Bamboo clothing for people who work in a kitchen
Short answer: A kitchen is warm and humid, and you are on your feet all day. The base layer has to move moisture, and the socks must not squeeze the calf.
Heat all shift
Without air changes a kitchen gets warm. A base layer that moves moisture away keeps the outer layer dry for longer. See bamboo underwear for men.
The legs after eight hours
Standing all day, the lower legs swell. A stocking with even pressure and no tight cuff helps. See bamboo support stockings.
Dry feet
Damp feet in closed shoes cause blisters. See all bamboo socks for men.
A change mid shift
On a long shift a change of top mid day makes a real difference. See bamboo T-shirts for men.
Wash after every shift
Cooking smells and sweat settle in the fibres if the clothing lies crumpled. See washing and care.
