What you should keep as a spare

Short answer: An extra set of underwear, two pairs of socks and a clean towel cover most unforeseen situations, from a wet day to an unplanned overnight stay.

Underwear in your bag

A set in your backpack or at work covers a wet day or an unplanned overnight stay. See bamboo underwear for men.

Two pairs of socks

Socks take up nothing and save a day with wet shoes. See all bamboo socks for men.

A towel

A small towel in your bag gets used more often than you think. See bamboo towels.

A T-shirt at work

A spare top in the drawer covers the days when it gets too warm. See bamboo underwear for women.

Rotate them

Spares left for years go musty. Rotate them a couple of times a year. See washing and care.
