A question about : Advice: sports wear for husband

Christmas present time.

I know he is getting low on gym wear, and I also know he's been talking about looking at swapping to all natural fibres ( his other clothes are) because he has psoriasis. He spends quite a lot of time in the gym, visiting more than once a day often, for stress relief as much as fitness, and sometimes takes a class like yoga, for which he wears his normal gear.

He wears shorts. And occasionally gets jogger's nipple. title=Embarrassment

So, natural fibres makes me think bamboo might be a good thing to look at, any one any experience of bamboo sports wear.....how well it wears, how comfortable it is? Any thing to be wary of?

Any other suggestions for natural fibre sports wear?

Best answers:

  • Bump
    No one wearing natural fibres for gym at all to give advice?
  • I read somewhere about "silkathlete" https://silkathlete.me/
  • Merino wool all the way - smart wool, icebreaker etc. Can get them in different weights , but I usually wear them outdoors so not sure if they will all be too hot for indoors.
  • I would second the suggesiton of silk.
  • Thanks.
    I have opted for a yoga tank and shorts now in bamboo. This seems closest to what he'd choose. ATM his normal gym wear is bothering his skin so much he's even tried to work out in swimming shorts, so it cannot be worse that that I think.
