JBS of Denmark bamboo sweatshirt and what sets it apart

Short answer: A sweatshirt in bamboo viscose has the soft inside of classic sweat, but with less weight and better moisture transport. It is used mostly for days at home and as a mid layer.

The difference from classic sweat

Classic cotton sweat is heavy and holds on to moisture when you get warm. Bamboo viscose adds less bulk and moves moisture away, so the sweatshirt does not get clammy indoors. See the models in JBS of Denmark and sweat clothing.

For days at home and commuting

The sweatshirt is the most used piece in a set of home clothes, because it can also be worn outside the door. If you want the whole set, see bamboo tracksuit for men and bamboo tracksuit for women.

Fit

A sweatshirt needs room over the shoulder and a rib that does not squeeze the waist. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one if it is to be worn under a jacket. See the size guide.

Pilling and washing

Sweat pills most in the first washes, when loose fibres come off. Wash inside out at 40 degrees and keep it away from hook and loop fasteners and zips. See the washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Frequently asked questions

Do bamboo sweatshirts pill?

A little at first, like all sweat. Wash inside out and the surface stays smooth.

Can a sweatshirt be used for training?

For warming up and walks yes. For hard training a thinner top is more practical.

How warm is a bamboo sweatshirt?

It warms as a mid layer, but without holding moisture the way cotton sweat does.
