Underwear for running in summer heat

Short answer: When running in heat, the innermost layer decides everything. Bamboo viscose moves moisture and smells less than synthetics after an hour.

Sweat has to leave the skin

During a run the body produces more moisture than any fabric can hold. A layer that passes it on makes chafing less likely. See bamboo underwear for men.

Odour after training

Synthetic fibres hold onto smell even after washing. Bamboo viscose starts cleaner every time. See bamboo t-shirts for men.

Socks that do not cause blisters

Blisters come from moisture and friction. A smooth sock without a hard toe seam removes half the problem. See bamboo socks for men.

Frequently asked questions

Is bamboo good for running?

For short and medium runs yes. For racing in the rain, technical fabrics are still lighter.

Why does my running shirt smell even after washing?

Polyester binds odour compounds. Wash cold with an extra rinse, or switch to a natural material.

Can you run in ordinary bamboo socks?

Yes, if they fit tightly enough not to fold inside the shoe.
