How does Irish Army ULSTER - Leggings compare?
Compared to standard polypropylene or cotton-blend leggings, the ULSTER model stands out with its use of recycled materials, superior four-way stretch, and heavier, more resilient fabric weight.

Unlike fast-fashion leggings, they are built for longevity and traceable production, though they do release microfibers during washing—a common trait among synthetic activewear.
