Summary
I just bought my 5th pair (6th if you count a pair that I gave to my sister as a gift, which she also loves) and it is still great.

In reply to the previous post; the old (up to 07 I think) Gamma LT was Tweave fabric. The new 08/09 versions use a fabric called Fortius. Both are nylon/spandex blends, but Tweave is the heavier one.
