Bamboo Festival Tights – A Guide
Short answer: Festival tights need to handle long days, changing weather and plenty of dancing. Tights in bamboo viscose are an obvious choice because they breathe, wick sweat away and feel soft, even when you wear them from morning until late at night.
Why bamboo is great for festivals
At a festival you wear your clothes for many hours without much chance to change. Bamboo viscose slows down the bacterial growth that causes odour and keeps your skin drier than ordinary nylon tights. See the selection of bamboo tights for women.
How to pack smart
Bring at least one spare pair of tights, and add a pair of bamboo leggings for the cooler evenings. Fresh bamboo socks for every day weigh nothing in your bag and make a big difference to how your wellies feel.
Comfort in changing weather
Bamboo has the advantage that the material feels cool in the sun and warm when the temperature drops in the evening. You can read more about how that works in our article on bamboo and temperature regulation. With a good base layer you are ready for the whole festival programme.
