Bamboo clothing for the train journey and the long drive

Short answer: On long journeys by train or car you sit still for hours, and the temperature changes along the way. Soft clothing without hard seams, worn in layers, is what gets used most.

Sitting still for hours

Thick seams and tight edges become noticeable after a couple of hours in a seat, because they press on the same spot all the time. Choose styles with flat seams and a soft waistband that does not roll down while you sit. Underwear is the innermost layer, so it is what you notice first. See bamboo underpants for men.

Layers you can take off

The train is often cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon, and in the car it changes with sun and air conditioning. Two thin layers are easier to adjust than a thick jumper. A t-shirt as the inner layer with a jumper on top covers most situations. See bamboo T-shirts for men.

Trousers without a hard waistband

Soft trousers with an elastic waist are more comfortable than jeans, because no button or hard waistband presses against your stomach when you sit for a long time. Choose a style with some room over the knees, so it does not pull when your legs are bent. See bamboo sweatpants for men.

Socks

Socks without a tight top are better when your legs hardly move for several hours. A soft top that lies calmly on the leg does not leave marks. If you take your shoes off on the train, a sock that keeps you warm without getting damp is also pleasant. See bamboo socks for women.

Take breaks

On a long drive, the breaks matter just as much as the clothing. Get out of the car, walk a little and stretch your legs, and stand up a few times on the train. Soft clothing makes it easier to move freely, but it does not replace getting up during the journey.

Pack light

Clothing that does not crease can be worn straight after arrival without an iron. Pack a few pieces in colours that go together, so you can combine them in several ways. Put a change of clothes at the top of your bag, so you can find it quickly. See our packing list.

Loungewear you can wear out

A set with clean lines can be worn both on the journey and after arrival without looking like nightwear. For women there are jogging sets in soft fabric that are comfortable to sit in and neat enough for a café. See bamboo jogging set for women.

The temperature in the car

Sun through the windscreen and air conditioning on full can give both warm and cold hours on the same trip. A thin layer on your arms shields against the sun, and a jumper on the back seat handles the cold. A fabric that moves moisture away is pleasant when your back warms up against the seat.

Avoid tight belts

A belt with a large buckle presses against your stomach when you sit for many hours. Choose trousers that stay up without a belt, or loosen it along the way. The same goes for full pockets with keys and phone, which are better placed in a bag beside you.

After arrival

Rinse the clothing and hang it to dry. Thin bamboo viscose dries faster than thick cotton and can be worn again the next day. Use a mild detergent and wring gently. That way you can travel with fewer pieces and still have clean clothes all the way.
