How long should a good set of knee wraps last?

( permalink)
I have a pair of Titan THP wraps. Worn them at the very most for about 20 sessions. They seem to be wearing a bit now, sort of losing elasticity and generally becoming a bit ragged. Is this normal for this length of time?
JOURNAL I'm tougher than leather, I'm smoother than suede, Always never broke 'cos I'm usually paid.

Had my Titan THP's for around 5 years now, worn every week, still feel ok to me and look like new still. I just make sure to roll them back up when i store them, always have.

They will loose a bit of give quickly. However should maitain good performance for a few years. Don't store them rolled up though. At least don't roll tight before you put away. Smallish thing but worth thinking off. Seems like 20 sessions is a bit quick to look dogg eared? If I was competing I'd probably get a new set most years and train with the older set and use an only broken in set for meet time.

Was not aware you shouldn't roll them to store them, i was always told you should, i have always done it loosely though. I shall stop! Cheers for that.
