The full review
Align is the comfort benchmark. The Nulu fabric reads more like soft jersey than typical performance gear, and that's both the appeal and the limit. They're our top pick for yoga, pilates, and active recovery — but we wouldn't recommend them as a primary lifting legging. We saw light see-through under squats below parallel during white-light testing. Verdict: phenomenal for what they're built for.
