Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Under Armour
- HeatGear and ColdGear pieces with the stretch intact, which is the technology people are actually buying
- Team and licensed kit, which has a following beyond ordinary sportswear
- Larger sizes, which are consistently harder to find second hand than small ones
- Outerwear and gilets, which cost more new and hold value better than base layers
What pulls Under Armour resale value down
- Stretched-out compression garments, where the elastane has given and the fit has gone — which is the whole point of the product
- Pilling on the smooth technical fabrics, which shows badly and cannot be removed without damaging the surface
- Persistent odour in synthetic base layers, which holds in the fibres and is difficult to wash out completely
- Cracked printed logos, which is how the graphics on technical fabric eventually fail
Identifying and dating yours
- The interior label names the fabric technology, which is what buyers search for rather than the garment type
- Stretch the garment and let it go on camera if you can, since recovery is the honest measure of whether it still works
- Photograph the underarm and inner thigh areas, which are where pilling and thinning show first
What lifts any gym leggings, whatever the label
Gym leggings are the item buyers most want reassurance about, because squat-test failure makes them unusable.
- Recognised activewear brands
- Fabric that stays fully opaque when stretched
- Waistbands with full elastic recovery
- No pilling on the inner thigh
And what pulls one down
- Fabric that goes sheer under stretch
- Pilling between the thighs
- Slack waistbands that roll down
- Unbranded leggings
Working out what yours is worth
- Stretch the fabric over your hand against the light
- Check the inner thigh area for pilling
- Test the waistband recovery
What to state in the listing
- Brand, style name, size and inseam length
- Whether they stay opaque when stretched
- Waistband height and whether the elastic still recovers
- Pilling on the inner thigh, and whether they have pockets
Brand, style, size and inseam: “Gymshark Adapt Leggings, Size S, 26in Inseam”. Style names are searched exactly. Say whether they have pockets, which is a genuine differentiator in gym wear.
Preparing and photographing it
- Stretch the fabric over your hand and photograph whether it stays opaque.
- Check the waistband still recovers after stretching, and look at the inner thigh for pilling.
- Note the brand, style name and inseam length.
- Laid flat, front, whole leg
- The fabric stretched over a hand, showing opacity
- The waistband, showing height and recovery
- The inner thigh and gusset, plus the size tag
When it sells best, and handing it over
Strong January lift and a steady spring. Recognised activewear brands sell within days.
Very light and cheap to post. Wash them and say so in the listing — on used activewear that is the sentence that resolves the buyer’s hesitation, and it is the difference between an enquiry and a sale.
What buyers ask
How do I know if compression kit is worn out?
Stretch it and see whether it snaps back. If it stays loose the elastane has gone, and the garment no longer does what it was bought for.
Can odour be washed out of synthetic sportswear?
Sometimes, with a proper technical wash and no fabric softener. If it persists after that, say so — buyers would much rather know in advance.
How much are Under Armour gym leggings worth?
Roughly £10 to £42 depending on condition, against £10 to £40 for gym leggings generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
