The BauBax Travel Pants are made of a unique blend of Merino Wool and Bamboo Viscose. Bamboo on the inside keeps you cool and absorbs your body sweat while Merino wicks away and evaporates it on the outside Our pants are softer, stain proof, water resistant and lightweight to keep travelers comfortable and their luggage light. These can be worn multiple days in a row without washing, pack small, regulate body temperature, wick away sweat, protect wearers from UV Rays and have five functional pockets to carry valuables when traveling.
Warm Weather: Wool has a natural crimp to it that helps trap more dead air than any other fibre. Dead air is a fantastic insulator and provides a great buffer against the cold. Cold Weather: Wool has the ability to store moisture within the structure of the fibre. As your body warms up, the moisture stored within the fibre will begin to evaporate, cooling the air between your skin and the fabric. The warmer you get the more evaporation takes place and the larger the cooling effect. Our pants also offer great UV protection which means you can spend more time in the sun doing the things you love.
We understand that wool can sometimes be itchy, even Merino wool. We have taken great care to create a fabric which is soft to touch so that you are comfortable wearing our pants for long stretches of time. To add another layer of protection, we have kept Merino wool on the outside and Bamboo viscose on this inside. Both fabrics have their own individual yarn blends and they are then double woven/ knitted in a way that only one yarn is present on one side.
Bamboo fabric is hypo-allergenic and naturally repels allergens such as dust mites, mould and mildew, making it gentle on skin. Thus, making our pants an excellent choice for anyone with sensitive skin.
Yes. The bamboo plant has a natural resistance to pest and fungal infestation due to an anti-microbial agent known as ""bamboo kun” which prevents harmful matters from cultivating on the plant.
Our pants are water and stain resistant (coffee, beer, wine, etc.) They should keep you dry in a light rain and dry quickly as well.
Based on our early samples and testing, the pants hold up well against abrasion. They are not ripstop, but can definitely handle rough wear.
We have specifically reinforced stress points where pants would typically wear and tear over time. These areas include the seat gusset, pockets, and inseam. The inner seams are double stitched to further prevent any tearing. The main zipper used is YKK, and the thinner side zippers are invisible zippers. The base of the waistband is a plush elastic material, with stretch similar to sweatpants. Our overall goal was to make sure the pants don't tear and they feel super comfortable while you are in motion.
Our Trouser Leggings have 6 pockets of which 2 are zippered. All other styles have 5 pockets of which 3 are zippered.
The Athletic Chinos have a flattering fit around the hip and thigh areas while the Slim Chinos are slim across the seat and thigh with a tapered leg.
Sorry. Currently, we are not offering multiple inseam lengths for women's pants. We might consider short and tall inseams lengths for women’s pants, if the response is great and if there is enough feedback around the same.
The front pockets are big enough to hold your passport/ phone.
Our pants will absorb less odor and stains. Thus, they can and should be washed less frequently. When you do finally need to launder them, wash them with like colors, using mild detergent and in cold water. Tumble dry low or lay flat. Do NOT use fabric softener during wash as this may damage the water repellency. Do NOT bleach. Do NOT dry clean.
Due to the natural stretch and recovery of our fabric, the pants may give a little during regular wear, however they will still retain their shape. Once the pants are washed, they will return to their original fit.
Our products are made from certified organic bamboo that is grown and produced without any harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. Our bamboo fabric is made from 100% sustainable bamboo plants and manufactured using a ‘closed-loop’ process, without the use of any harmful chemicals.

The bamboo used for our fabric is planted and grown as a crop which means it is in addition to what exists naturally. Natural grown bamboo is what is eaten by Pandas. We do understand panda habitats have been shrinking over the years with general urban and other land use encroachment. The Chinese Government is quite earnest in its desire to maintain what’s left and the remaining giant bamboo forests are now far better protected.
Bamboo is a naturally available, self-replenishing grass that grows up to 3 feet per day without harmful pesticides and requires 70% less water than cotton. Merino wool is also a naturally available resource and the process of turning it into fabric is done sustainably with little to no environmental impact. Bamboo and Merino wool are biodegradable and in normal commercial composting conditions, they will biodegrade and return to the earth within 12 months.
No. Our T-shirts are made of only Bamboo-Cotton and designed to become your favorite T-shirts right from day one! They’re breathable, offer odor control, and are designed to stay 2 degrees cooler than a 100% cotton t-shirt. Bamboo viscose is highly moisture absorbent, wicks faster, dries quicker, and feels cool and smooth on the skin. When blended with organic cotton, they offer unparalleled durability. Please note our T-shirts are not water-repellent or stain resistant. Fabric: 55% Bamboo Viscose, 40% Organic Cotton, 5% Spandex
Our shoes are made from natural materials - Coconut Coir, Natural Latex, Merino Wool and Bamboo. Coconut Coir midsole makes the shoes extremely light and comfortable. All-natural Latex insole is bouncy and cushiony like a premium latex mattress. Australian Merino Wool liner with its antibacterial properties offers unparalleled odor control and allows wearers to go sockless when they prefer. Upper exterior made from Bamboo is extremely breathable, highly sweat-absorbent, and helps regulate temperature.
Made from natural materials - Coconut Coir, Natural Latex, Merino Wool and Bamboo. Lightweight and comfortable to wear all day long. Flexible, Breathable, Durable and Supportive to handle the rigors of travel. Stay fresh for hours with features like anti-bacterial, anti-odor and stain resistant.
The fabrics are different for both styles. Breezy shoes are made from knit fabric and Loungy and Dressy shoes are made from woven fabric. Both our fabric types - woven as well as knit - are breathable, but knit (breezy) has the highest breathability. The outsoles are different too. Our Breezy shoes' outsoles are thick, offer more arch support, and offer a sporty look. Our Loungy shoes' outsoles are thin, flat, offer less arch support and the look is a bit closer to that of a traditional sneaker.
The heel height in our women’s Dressy-Heels shoe is 1 inch. The Women's Dressy-Flats, of course, do not have heels but they do have a quarter-inch elevation towards the heel area.
Currently, we are not offering wide size/half size jumps. You could consider going a size up or down depending on how you like the fit. In case the shoes still don’t fit you, you can exchange or return them within 30 days.
All 3 styles come with a latex insole which is the key to our shoes being bouncy and cushiony. Our Breezy shoes have the thickest outsole as well as insole, followed by loungy, followed by dressy. To get maximum shock absorption, cushion and pep in your step, we recommend our Breezy shoes.
Our dressy shoes are narrower than the loungy and breezy. You can try that style. But if your feet are too narrow and you find shoes from other brands too wide then perhaps our shoes will also give you the same result.
No, we are not offering half-size jumps. In case you are between sizes then we recommend you to size up if you want a relaxed fit or size down for a snug fit.
Our shoes are water-resistant, not waterproof. Waterproof fabrics are less breathable. The upper fabric of our shoes, which is made from bamboo, has been treated with Teflon Fabric Protector, which is known to be the best type of water and stain-resistant coating in the textile industry, so we believe our shoes' ability to repel water and stains will last fairly long.
We recommend our Breezy shoes for light to moderate workouts as they have the thickest outsole.
For customers with flat-feet we recommend going for the Breezy style. They have high arches as compared to our other styles
Though our latex insole is covered with Merino wool lining, we cannot recommend our shoes to people allergic to latex.
Yes, the insoles can be removed from all our shoe styles but we recommend against removing them because our insoles offer amazing features because they are made from natural latex with merino wool lining on top. The natural latex insoles are designed to give you a bouncy and cushiony effect with unparalleled shock absorption. And the merino wool lining on top has anti-bacterial properties that controls odor, allowing you to wear them without socks. Replacing our insoles with other insoles would mean you will be getting less out of our product. Still, if you need to use your specialized medical grade orthotic insoles then we recommend going for the Breezy style because their knit bamboo fabric is more stretchable than the Loungy and Dressy, hence it'll offer the extra room your orthotics might need.
The thickness of rubber insoles will be roughly 3mm towards the tow and 5-6mm towards the heel. This thickness will vary a bit for each shoe style and size.
All our dressy shoe outsoles - for both men and women's styles - are made of TPR material which has a decent proportion of rubber in it, which makes it quite grippy and durable. The outsole thickness for men's dressy shoes is around 5mm. Women's dressy shoes have a bit of slope in the outsole throughout it’s length, as can be seen in the photos, hence the thickness ranges from 3mm in the front/toe area to 10mm in the heel area.
Our EVA+Rubber outsoles are super grippy. And the latex insoles are extremely bouncy and cushiony. They make you feel like having a pep in every step.
All of our shoe styles are water-resistant because of the Teflon Fabric Protector treatment done on the upper bamboo fabric, which doesn't compromise on the breathability of the shoes. Other shoe brands that use 100% water-proof fabric have a membrane, an additional layer, inside their fabric which blocks water penetration better than our shoes but that membrane in those shoes reduces breathability which increases heat inside the shoe making your feet sweat a lot. Also, those 100% water-proof shoes have too much elastane content in their fabrics and they fit extremely tight on the feet, making them hurt and swell while traveling. Hence, while designing our shoes, we avoided the use of those synthetic 100% water-proof fabrics, and decided to go for a fabric made from natural materials such as Bamboo, which is very cool and soft to the skin. Also, those 100% water-proof shoes don't stop the water from entering inside from the mouth of the shoes, so the benefits that those shoes offer are far inferior than the benefits our shoes offer.
Teflon Fabric Protector, is known to be the best type of water and stain-resistant coating in the textile industry, so we believe our shoes ability to repel water and stains will last fairly long. Our shoes can be treated with DWR sprays for those purposes but that will be necessary for the user to do after years bcoz our Teflon Fabric Protector is the best DWR Solution in the textile industry and lasts long. You may find this link useful. It has more information on Teflon Fabric Protection - https://www.chemours.com/Teflon_Fabric_Protector_Partners/en_US/discover_teflon/discover_teflon.html
Our Loungy and Breezy shoes are machine washable on gentle cycle, but remove the insoles and laces before putting them for wash. Air-dry only. Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Dressy shoes are not machine washable. But the stain and water-resistant treated bamboo fabric makes it very easy for you to wipe off dirt marks off the shoe fabric.
