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 leggings, whatever the label
Leggings are the clothing item buyers most want reassurance about, because fabric that has gone sheer is unusable.
- Recognised activewear brands with a following
- Fabric that stays opaque when stretched
- Waistbands with full elastic recovery
- No pilling on the inner thigh
And what pulls one down
- Fabric gone sheer when stretched
- Pilling between the thighs
- Slack waistbands that roll down
- Unbranded leggings, worth very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Stretch the fabric over your hand against the light
- Check the inner thigh area closely
- Stretch the waistband and see whether it recovers
What to state in the listing
- Brand, style name, size and inseam length
- Fabric composition and whether they are squat-proof or sheer when stretched
- Waistband height and whether it has pockets
- Pilling on the inner thigh, and gusset seam condition
Brand, style and size: “Lululemon Align Leggings, 25 inch, Size 8, Black”. Named styles from activewear brands are searched exactly. State the inseam length, since the same style comes in several.
Preparing and photographing it
- Stretch the fabric over your hand and check whether it becomes sheer. Say honestly what you find.
- Check the waistband elastic, the gusset seam and the inner thigh for pilling or thinning.
- Note the brand, style name and fabric composition.
- Laid flat, front, whole leg in frame
- The waistband, showing width and elasticity
- The fabric stretched over a hand, showing opacity
- The inner thigh and gusset, plus the size tag
When it sells best, and handing it over
Steady all year with a January lift. Recognised activewear brands sell within days; high-street leggings sell slowly.
Very light and cheap to post.
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 leggings worth?
Roughly £8 to £32 depending on condition, against £8 to £30 for leggings generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
