Bamboo undershirt as a base layer – Stay warm in the winter

Short answer: A bamboo undershirt is an ideal base layer because bamboo viscose retains heat, wicks away sweat, and feels soft against the skin—without that clammy feeling you get from synthetic base layers.

Why is bamboo a good base layer?

A base layer should wick away moisture and provide insulation. Bamboo does both and prevents chills caused by wet fabric against the skin. See bamboo undershirts for men and bamboo undershirts for women.

How do you layer properly?

Start with an undershirt and, if desired, a pair of bamboo long johns next to your skin, and layer clothing on top. A men’s sleeveless bamboo tank top serves as an extra thin layer. Read more about bamboo clothing for cold days.
