Bamboo activewear is for you if you want to train in natural materials rather than clothes made from pure polyester. Here we have gathered women's bamboo workout clothes from Boody, made from bamboo and designed for movement. The range currently consists of three products: black high waisted 3/4 training tights and high waisted workout shorts in black and olive green. It is a small, focused selection that covers running, cycling, yoga, pilates and training at the gym.
Bamboo or cotton for training
Many people look for cotton activewear because they want to get away from synthetic fabrics. Cotton is a familiar choice, but bamboo also feels soft and natural, and it is breathable, so it is an obvious alternative if you are looking for exercise clothing in natural materials. We have compared the two in the post cotton training clothes or bamboo, and in when natural fibre is enough you can read which types of training it suits best.
Tights for yoga, pilates and strength
The 3/4 length training tights have a wide, high waistband, a curved panel at the back and flat seams. That gives a close fit that follows your body when you stretch, bend and lift. On the outside of the leg there is a pocket for keys or a phone. The length makes them easy to wear both indoors and outdoors. Read more about the style under bamboo workout pants for women.
Shorts for running and cycling
The workout shorts have an inseam of 12.5 cm and reach mid thigh. They have flat seams that reduce the risk of chafing and a hidden pocket on each leg. The high waistband keeps them in place when you run or cycle. The shorts come in black and olive green, so you can choose between the neutral option and a calm colour.
Sizes and choosing your fit
Both the tights and the shorts come in XS, S, M, L and XL. Gym wear should fit close, so choose your normal size. If you are between two, take the smaller one if you want a firm hold around the waist and the larger one if you prefer a little more room. You have 100-day returns, so you can try the fit without worry.
What to combine it with
On top, a bamboo sports bra or one of our bamboo tops for women works well. After training, a soft hoodie or sweatshirt is a good layer to pull on, and many also choose bamboo leggings for women for quiet days. The tights and shorts belong to the same series, so they match in cut and look and make an easy bamboo workout set.
