I couldn't care less about the hassle of hand washing them to try to extend their comfort, durability, or wearability. If I pull biking clothing out of my dresser drawer and find the item to be worn out or uncomfortable, I throw it out. I don't actually know how long that stuff lasts and don't actually care...seems to be doing OK. I can assure you however, if my wife told me that my biking clothing was wearing out too fast, my solution would NOT be to have her start hand washing it.
