Bamboo clothing for the gym

Short answer: At the gym you sweat a lot in a short time. Bamboo viscose feels softer than synthetic training wear and smells more slowly, but holds its shape less well in hard training.

What bamboo is good at

Softness against the skin and slower odour development. That is why many use it for strength training and calm sessions. See bamboo training clothes for women.

What technical fabric is better at

In hard cardio training, technical materials hold their shape better and dry faster. See bamboo versus technical sports fabric.

The underwear matters most

The innermost layer decides whether you turn clammy. See bamboo underpants for men.

Socks

Feet get wet in closed training shoes. A sock that carries moisture away reduces the smell. See bamboo tennis socks for men.

After training

Change into dry clothes as quickly as possible. Wet clothes in a bag smell within a few hours. See after training.

To and from

A set that can be worn on the way saves a change. See bamboo tracksuit for men.

Washing

Wash training clothes soon after use and without fabric softener. See the washing guide.
