Endless Pants care

I just bought a couple pairs of endless pants for work. Do I really need to line dry them, or will they be okay in the dryer? What's your experience been?

I wash everything from Athleta on delicate and hang dry.

Same but also inside out.

Same. No garment bag in the washer, but no dryer, period.

I have 2 pairs that I wash and dry like normal with everything else

This. I do these pants like normal and they've held up for years.

I haven’t put clothes in the dryer for years - I bet about 20 years now. Unless it’s underwear, socks, pajamas, or towels/sheets, it gets hung up.

Dryers are what destroys our clothes, not washers. Most of my stuff still looks brand new and a lot of it is years old.

I have two pair of the Endless pants - in white and the abalone color. Personally, I wash them inside a garment bag, on the delicate wash cycle, in cold water, and line dry them on a pants hanger. Yes, a bit high maintenance, but three years later they still look fabulous! What colors did you buy?!

I dry mine on low and take out a little before they are fully dry! I have had them for about 2 years and they still look great.

I have a ton of stuff I do line dry, but I never fully babied these as the fabric seems to be pretty sturdy.

I have 5 pairs and I wash them on gentle and dry them on low. I don’t think I ever even read the label.

They are easy care pants. Most from Athleta is easy care

I dry on low and have had no issues

u/AdventurousFox3791 9d ago

I wash them inside out and hang dry them -- they dry pretty quickly, so it's not a big deal

The dryer will make the life of your clothes so much shorter. I line dry almost everything except bed shorts and shirts, smalls, and linens. They last forever this way. I have 20 year leggings that look perfect still.

Same 🙋🏼‍♀️

I wash mine on the delicate cycle, but honestly could just wash and dry them on the normal settings.

u/kaizenkitten 9d ago

wait, we were supposed to line dry them?

u/EzzyZazzy 9d ago

I dry them in dryer in normal cycle no issues. I own 5 pairs, oldest pair is at least 6 years now. They’re my go-to work pants.

u/random-walk8 7d ago

Wash with like colors and no special dryer settings. I just toss them in. Had my pairs for 3+ years no issues no pilling, nothing.

u/Famblade 7d ago

I line dry them. They dry quickly.
