Dark grey bamboo jogging suit with logo

Dark grey bamboo tracksuit with sweatshirt and sweatpants

There is a reason why grey sweat fabric has become the uniform of the working from home day: it does not look like sportswear. Dark grey reads as an ordinary top on a video meeting and as a set you can easily wear down to the supermarket. The set consists of a sweatshirt with a logo and a pair of sweatpants, both in sizes XS to XXL.

The set you can wear while working from home

The line between home clothes and work clothes has become blurred, and grey sweat fabric lands right in between. It is soft enough for a whole day at the desk and smart enough that you do not have to change if the camera suddenly has to go on. The sweatshirt on its own with a pair of jeans is the same story: it looks like a jumper, not a sports top, and that is the whole reason why grey sweat fabric in particular has become the standard in home offices.

A zip in the pockets

The sweatpants have zips in the pockets, so the phone stays where it is when you get up from the chair or go for a walk in your lunch break. It is a small thing that gets used every day.

The fabric

The set is made of 55 % bamboo viscose, 25 % polyester, 15 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose gives the soft, smooth inside and moves moisture away from the skin, which counts when the same set stays on for eight hours. The polyester holds the shape, so the knees do not go baggy as the afternoon goes on, the cotton gives body, and the elastane gives freedom of movement. The properties are set out under benefits of bamboo viscose.

The certification

The set is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified under cert. no. 976-15301, which means that every component is tested for harmful substances. The number is different from the one on the underwear, because the sweat fabric is woven somewhere else.

The trousers for the long day

The sweatpants have an elasticated waist and a ribbed cuff at the bottom, so they stay where they are, whether you sit down for eight hours or go for a walk in your break. It is a point that is easy to overlook at the time of purchase, but it is the whole reason why a set gets worn several days a week rather than only at the weekend.

Grey shows the least

Dark grey is the colour that shows neither lint like black nor stains like light shades. That is a practical point on a set worn several days in a row between washes, and it is one of the reasons why grey and black are the two colours people come back to.

Choose a size for each piece

The top and the trousers are chosen separately, so both parts fit. The parts run large for women, and we recommend choosing one size smaller than normal, unless you deliberately want a loose drape.

Washing

Wash the set at 30 to 40 degrees inside out, avoid fabric softener, and let it air dry. Without heat from the tumble dryer both the colour and the shape last longer. See the rest under washing and care.

The individual pieces

Sweatshirts in the same quality are found under sweatshirt for women and sweatshirt for men, and all the sets are found under tracksuits.
