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 bag, whatever the label
Gym bags are cheap new and used hard, so only recognised brands and clean condition carry value.
- Recognised sportswear brands
- Separate shoe and wet compartments
- Working zips and intact straps
- Clean interiors with no odour
And what pulls one down
- Persistent odour, which is hard to remove
- Failed zips
- Worn base corners
- Unbranded and promotional bags
Working out what yours is worth
- Air and clean it thoroughly, then say so
- Run every zip
- Check the base corners for wear
What to state in the listing
- Capacity in litres and external dimensions
- Whether it has a separate shoe or wet compartment
- Carry options — handles, shoulder strap, backpack straps
- Material, base condition and whether any odour remains
Capacity, brand and features: “Nike Duffel Gym Bag, 40L, Shoe Compartment”. Capacity in litres is the search and a separate shoe compartment is a genuine feature people look for. Say if it converts to a backpack.
Preparing and photographing it
- Wash it if the label allows, air it thoroughly, and be honest with yourself about whether any odour remains.
- Check the base, which drags on floors, and the zips, which fail from grit.
- Confirm whether it has a separate shoe or wet compartment, and check that lining.
- The bag from the side, whole
- The main compartment open, clean and dry
- Any separate shoe or wet compartment
- The base and zips, plus any fray, stain or worn corner
When it sells best, and handing it over
Lifts sharply in January and again in September. Branded bags sell within days in those windows.
Light and compressible, so postage is cheap. Air it thoroughly before packing — a bag sealed in a parcel for two days concentrates any smell it had.
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 is an Under Armour gym bag worth?
Roughly £10 to £37 depending on condition, against £10 to £35 for gym bags generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
