Ok this may seem a little stupid, but I've been washing under armour with my regular clothes for a while (minus the fabric softener). Lately some of them have started to become well... less than perfect. Their only about a year old and I was wondering if it was just wear and tear or if I should be washing them some special way. Thanks!

Yeah I have the same problem I don't know, it might just be like you say wear and tear.

I prefer to wash them seperatly on a gentle cycle using gentle detergent.

How long have u used them and how often? Maybe thats the problem, I always stick them in the dryer on the normal cycle.

Well ive only had them since the start of this season... i use them 3-4 days a week for my games but my suggestion is to let it air dry because the fabric dries really easily so theres no need to dry it in the dryer:)
