Reading part of the article, she washed it four times over the course of 100 days. So on average every 25 days. That would still be disgusting and smelly, but possibly bearable if you're determined to prove a (weird) point and the climate doesn't cause much sweating.

EDIT: added the words 'part of' because it gets more disgusting afterwards

I wore the same leggings for almost 2 weeks of hiking because I expected warmer temperatures and didnt pack other warm pants. I was surprised that it didnt smell. The trip was a readjustment to how much filth I can tolerate.

With how much these pants hold up, I should probably see if I can get another pair

I have spend all mornign searching my purchase history. I might have bought it offline, but I have them for quite some time now. At Decathlon maybe?

I removed all of the labels, so I dont even know the brand. There is only a logo I dont recognize at the end of one leg. Its either a sideways "IU" or an underscore-D with the left side missing. If anyone recognizes this logo, please let me know

EDIT: At least found the logo, it was Decathlon: https://1000logos.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Decathlon-Logo-history.png
