Lululemon Align Tech Collection

While the standard Lululemon Align line is famous for its ultra-soft Nulu fabric designed for low-impact yoga, the Align Tech collection integrates advanced performance features. Align Tech utilizes targeted compression zones and strategically placed mesh panels to provide extra support and breathability during more intense workouts.

No, you should never put Lululemon Align Tech leggings in the dryer, as the high heat will damage the elastane and the proprietary moisture-wicking treatments. To maintain their shape and signature soft feel, they must be washed in cold water and hung flat to dry on a drying rack.

While traditional Align leggings are generally too thin for high-impact running, the Align Tech fabric is specifically designed to handle more dynamic movement. The integrated compression zones and sweat-wicking properties make them much more suitable for jogging and high-intensity interval training than the base models.

Lululemon's sizing for the Align collection generally runs true to size, but because the Nulu fabric is highly stretchable, some people prefer to size down to prevent the leggings from becoming see-through. If you are between sizes, it is usually recommended to size up, as the fabric tends to mold closely to the body.
