Product Insights
Vuori Performance Joggers offer a soft, durable fabric that outlasts Lululemon ABC in pilling resistance and longevity (2–5 years), with a relaxed silhouette and smooth drape, but recent batches have thinner material, altered waistbands, and increased pilling after few washes, leading some fans to recommend other brands at the $128 CAD price. Care requires cold wash and hang dry; the joggers run short and small with a lower rise and shallower pockets than Lululemon, while the recycled polyester-spandex blend compresses small, dries quickly, and stays above the ankle with a flat waistband, though the recent thicker, bulkier waistband reduces comfort.

Deep Research
Packability, wrinkle resistance, and all-day comfort
- Weighing roughly half of a typical fleece jogger, these pants compress into a ball the size of a grapefruit and add only a few ounces to your bag — ideal for carry-on-only travelers who count every gram.
- Unlike cotton joggers, the polyester-spandex construction dries in a few hours when hanging in a hotel bathroom, making them sink-washable on extended trips — a single pair can cover multi-week travel with just a quick rinse.
- The spandex content gives the fabric a four-way stretch that moves with you whether you’re wrestling a suitcase into an overhead bin or taking a nap twisted sideways in an economy seat.
- The 25" inseam cuts above the ankle, which keeps the hem dry in wet weather and pairs well with sandals or slip-on shoes for a breezy travel outfit — it’s a deliberate styling choice that also eliminates the need to cuff.
- The 89% recycled polyester / 11% spandex jersey naturally sheds creases — even after hours sitting in a confined seat or being rolled in a packing cube, the fabric springs back without wrinkles, so you can step off a plane and walk directly into a meeting or dinner.
- The flat elastic waistband with internal drawstring won’t dig in during 10-hour flights, and the ankle cuffs prevent fabric from dragging on airport floors or getting caught in escalators while staying close to the leg for a clean silhouette.

Fits well, a little bit of pilling in the right area, and a bit long for me (5’0), would have tried a smaller size but I didn’t want them too fitted. Colour is perfect, feel is amazing!

Q&A
7 answered- Are the side pockets deep enough to securely hold a smartphone during activities like light running or gym workouts?
- The side slit pockets are designed for casual use and may not be deep enough to securely hold a smartphone during vigorous activities like running. Community feedback and general experience with similar joggers suggest they are better suited for lounging or walking, not high-motion workouts.
- Based on recent reviews, do customers generally recommend sizing up, down, or true to size for these joggers?
- Yes, many reviewers recommend sizing up for a looser fit, as the joggers tend to run small and short. Even the 'Long' version may be short for taller individuals, so sizing up is advised for better comfort.
- What specific care instructions (e.g., wash temperature, drying method) are recommended to minimize pilling?
- To minimize pilling, wash the joggers in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang them to dry instead of using a dryer. These care practices are commonly recommended by customers who have experienced reduced pilling.
- Do Vuori Performance Joggers pill over time?
- Many users report pilling after a few wears or washes, though some only see minor pilling after long-term use. Washing cold and hang drying helps mitigate.
- How is the sizing? Should I size up?
- They tend to run small and short. Many recommend sizing up for a looser fit or choosing the 'Long' version, but even that may be short for taller individuals.
- How do they compare to Lululemon joggers?
- Vuori joggers are often softer and more resistant to pilling than Lululemon's ABC joggers, but Lululemon may offer a higher rise and better structure.
- Are they worth the high price?
- Opinions vary: many find the comfort worth it, but recent quality concerns make some seek cheaper alternatives or second-hand options.

6 threads · r/BuyItForLife, r/vuoriclothing, r/fashionwomens35, r/malefashionadvice, r/lululemonVuori Performance Joggers are praised for their exceptional softness and comfort as daily wear and travel pants, but many users report recent quality decline with pilling, inconsistent sizing, and shorter-than-expected lengths.
Reddit sentiment is mixed: strong praise for comfort and initial quality is balanced by widespread complaints about pilling, sizing issues, and perceived decline in manufacturing quality.

Watch Out For
Compared To
vs Lululemon Align/ABC Joggers
Vuori joggers are often considered softer and more durable than Lululemon's ABC joggers which pill after 6 months, and softer than Aligns. However, some users prefer Lululemon for higher rise and pocket depth.
vs Rhone Commuter Joggers
Rhone offers a more structured, office-appropriate look while Vuori excels in comfort and wrinkle resistance for travel.
vs Kirkland Signature Joggers (Costco)
Costco's joggers are a budget alternative but the fabric is cheaper and shows lumps, whereas Vuori maintains a smoother appearance and lasts longer.

Two-year review: comfort holds despite slight pilling
I have two pairs of joggers and have worn them constantly for two years. I mean I live in them, except for during the summer. There was a dramatic difference in the feeling of the fabric after I washed them the first time, and some very slight pilling on the inside, but no further change since then. Even though they're not as soft as brand new, they're still the softest and most comfortable pants I've ever had. I'm going to treat myself to a new pair every year.

Recent Vuori quality drop: sizing and material issues
I ordered a modern fit hoodie and performance joggers long in my regular size and they were both ridiculously large. The joggers were wider through the leg and way too loose around the waist and crotch. The waistband was different than the pair I bought a couple years ago - thicker and bulky. The cosmic heather color is so pretty but I’m afraid to size down because the material is also noticeably thinner than it used to be.

Vuori vs Costco: Vuori fabric superior and lasts 5 years
I have the Costco dupes and they definitely are not the same. They feel nice, but the fabric is much cheaper and you can see every lump and bump through it, where you don't with the Vuoris. I have had the same Vuoris for going on 5 years and they still look perfect.

Vuori Performance Jogger as daily driver and travel essential
Vuori Performance Jogger is my daily driver. The fabric feels like pajamas but looks put together enough for coffee or errands. They hold up well after washing too, which was my biggest complaint with Lululemon ABC joggers (pilling after 6 months). Rhone Commuter is the more structured option if you want something that works in a casual office. But for travel specifically, Vuori wins because the fabric wrinkles way less in a suitcase.

Women's Performance Jogger extremely cropped even in long
Yeah, I have no idea why they are so cropped. I’m 5’4” and get the long and they’re perfect. Nobody wants cropped, Vuori.

Softer than Lululemon Aligns but rise and length too short
I have 2 joggers from them and they’re softer than Aligns. But I wish the rise was higher and the legs longer.
