JBS of Denmark bamboo leggings and what you get

Short answer: Leggings in bamboo viscose are softer against the skin than synthetic ones and stretch without becoming see through when the quality is dense enough. They are used mostly for days at home and as a layer under dresses.

Density decides everything

The most important thing about leggings is whether the fabric covers when you bend over. A denser knit in bamboo viscose solves that, while very thin models do not. See the range in bamboo leggings for women.

As a layer and for days at home

Leggings are worn under dresses, skirts and long tops in winter, and as home trousers the rest of the year. For the longer tops, see bamboo hoodie dresses.

Waistband and elastic

A wide, soft waistband sits best all day and does not roll down. Look for a waistband without a hard elastic edge. If you are unsure about the size, see the size guide.

Washing

Leggings lose their elastic to heat. Wash at 40 degrees and avoid the tumble dryer and fabric softener. See the washing guide for bamboo clothing.

For training or for everyday

Leggings in bamboo viscose are intended for everyday and days at home. For hard training most people use a model with a higher elastane content, which holds better during movement. See the difference in bamboo training clothes for women.

Frequently asked questions

Do bamboo leggings become see through?

Only if the fabric is very light. A denser quality covers even when you bend over.

Can leggings be worn as trousers?

For days at home yes. Outside, most people wear a longer top or dress over them.

Why do leggings lose their shape?

Heat from the tumble dryer and too high a wash temperature ruin the elastane in the fabric.
