I mostly buy under armour and athleta leggings.

Not everyone has a BIFL experience with under armour but I certainly have. I beat that stuff into the ground and have some pieces for over 10 years with weekly wear. I began purchasing 10 years ago. That’s the life span. That includes leggings, sweatshirts, running shorts, base layers, cold gear and heat gear.

Athleta: I have casual one to wear under other items. I bought them in 2015 and they’re in great shape. I’ve gained weight so I’ll need new ones this year. 7 years for leggings is pretty decent! I also have dressier ones that I bought 3 years ago and they look brand new aren’t multiple wears weekly. I have exercise leggings that I bought 4 year ago, still in great shape.

For reference: my weight fluctuates 145-158ish, I live hard ( work, play, etc) and I’m hard on clothes. If I followed special washing I could probably get more life out of them. All my items go in the washer and almost always to the dryer and they still last.
