Active gear ripped or lasted (8)
I believe the answer is:
leotards
'active gear' is the definition.
(clothing worn for exercise)
'ripped or lasted' is the wordplay.
'ripped' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'or'+'lasted'='orlasted'
'orlasted' with letters rearranged gives 'LEOTARDS'.
(Other definitions for leotards that I've seen before include "Garments worn by dancers" , "One-piece ballet garments" , "Theatrical attire" , "Clothing for acrobats" , "Garments for gymnasts" .)
