What the numbers mean
Nylon gives leggings their smooth, soft feel and durability; elastane, sold under names like spandex and Lycra, gives the stretch and recovery. A higher elastane share generally means more stretch and a closer, more compressive fit, which is why the percentages differ from brand to brand.
The fibre percentages do not tell the whole story. How the yarn is knitted and finished changes the hand feel, opacity and sheen, so two fabrics with similar numbers can feel quite different. We are not claiming our fabric is the same as any other brand's, only that it belongs to the same nylon-spandex family.
How to decide
If a specific brand's fabric, fit or name matters to you, that is what the higher price buys. If you want a nylon-spandex legging in lots of colours at a lower price, compare the fabric line, waistband and size range on our product pages and try our see-through test when your pair arrives.

Questions and answers
Are OVI leggings the same as Lululemon or Alo?
No. They are a different product made from a nylon-spandex blend, like many performance leggings. Each brand's fabric has its own knit and finish, so they feel different even when fibre percentages are similar.
Why are OVI leggings cheaper?
OVI sells direct to you online, so there is no department-store mark-up. Our Seamless Yoga Pants are listed at $16.99 before shipping.
What fabric are Lululemon Align, Alo Airbrush and Gymshark Vital Seamless?
As listed online: Align 25" 81% nylon, 19% Lycra elastane (retailer listing); Alo High-Waist Airbrush nylon-elastane, e.g. 87% nylon, 13% elastane; Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 93% nylon, 7% elastane. Check each brand's page for the current composition.
