Bamboo T-Shirt with Long Sleeves – Guide

Short answer: A bamboo t-shirt with long sleeves is soft, breathable and temperature regulating, which makes it an obvious choice as a top from autumn to spring. It works on its own, as a layer under shirts and knitwear, and as a comfortable top to wear at home.

Why so many choose a bamboo t-shirt with long sleeves

Bamboo viscose wicks moisture away from the skin and feels silky soft, so the top does not scratch or cling. It keeps you warm without leaving you overheated indoors. Read more about how it works in our guide to bamboo and temperature regulation.

As a base layer in winter

If the top is mainly going to be used as a base layer in cold weather, a bamboo undershirt or a closer-fitting style may be the right choice. We have written a whole guide about the bamboo undershirt as a base layer.

How to make it last longest

Wash at 30 degrees, skip the tumble dryer and hang it up to dry. You will find all the details in our washing guide for bamboo clothing.
