Lululemon Athletica has been around since the late 90s, getting their beginnings in Vancouver, Canada. They started creating their products during the day while becoming a yoga studio in the evenings until a couple of years later they became a standalone store, and business started to take off. They create athletic clothing for both men and women, their styles and designs taking inspiration from their love of yoga.

They may have started the company making yoga apparel for women that is not all they do these days, now making products for everyone, designing clothing for running, cycling, training, and just about anything else you can think of that makes you sweat. They strive to create high-quality products for the athlete in you, and they tend to do a pretty decent job at it.

The All The Right Places leggings are just one of their many products on the market today. They are aimed at the runners out there; however, you are not limited to the track when working out in these. They are highly flexible and fits you almost like a second skin so they will not get in the way of your natural movements, allowing you to move freely and comfortably.

For the most part, consumers think they are comfortable and enjoy their workouts when they are wearing them. One problem, however, is that they do not have the most extended lifespan, which can frustrate many consumers, especially considering how much they paid for them. Not all consumers have had durability problems with them but its something that you might want to take into consideration. All and all, they are not a bad pair of workout pants.

Activities

No matter what activity you are doing, whether hitting the gym or heading out for a leisurely stroll, let the Lululemon All The Right Places leggings be your attire of choice. They are designed for those who lead an active lifestyle, created to give you something comfortable and functional to workout in without restriction. They are super flexible thanks to the four-way stretch materials so you can be sure to move around and feel free while you are wearing them, do not let your pants hold you back. They are sweat-wicking, so you are not going to have to think about your leggings soaking through while you are pushing yourself as it will simply bead up and roll off the pants, keeping you dry so you can focus on your workout. These are going to the perfect addition to your workout attire.

Materials

The Lululemon All The Right Places leggings are made out of full-on luxtreme which is a variation of luxtreme with a much tighter weave to give you a bit more compression and coverage. The fabric is a little on the thick side because of this, but it is going to provide you with a sturdier feel. Most consumers do not mind the little extra bulk if it means higher comfort and better coverage.

The luxtreme is made out of a material called luon which is a blend of 86% nylon and 14% Lycra so you can get a comfortable feel with the flexibility you desire in your workout clothes. This fabric is stretchy so you can move easily, it is breathable to keep you fresh, and it is moisture-wicking to keep you dry. They truly are designed for those who like to go hard at the gym.

Breathability

It is essential for whatever you put on your body to have some decent ventilation, and that is what you are going to get with these leggings. They are designed to allow air to flow into them to keep your skin cool and help prevent you from overheating when you are going particularly hard. Not only are they breathable which can help keep you dry on its own, but it is also constructed with moisture-wicking materials that will also aid in this. The sweat will bead up and roll off the fabric, and since they are breathable, the sweat beads will have an escape so they can evaporate and not sit on your skin.

Protection

The Lululemon's have a couple of protective features to help keep you safe and comfortable while you are wearing them. First, they have some reflective detail incorporating into them that will help keep you visible if you are heading out in low light conditions.

The high-rise waist will help keep you covered and secure while you are on the run, they are snug enough that they give you a bit of compression that will help increase the blood flow to your muscles.

The breathability and the sweat-wicking materials work together to prevent overheating that can occur in warm temperatures or when you are pushing yourself during your workout.

Durability

One of the biggest complaints about the Lululemon All The Right Places leggings is that they have poor durability and tend to fall apart quicker than customers would have liked. Some people stated that the materials feel rather thin, even though the luxtreme is supposed to be thicker than standard material. Even when following the care instructions, after a couple of washes, they have started to fall apart at the seams and began to pill, making them unwearable. Another complaint was that they would start to stretch out after a while, making them loose and baggy which can become extremely uncomfortable while you are out on the run or hitting the gym.

Value

These leggings have a pretty steep price tag which has made consumers question whether or not it was worth it. Many customers who have purchased them would answer that question with a no. Their lack of durability and short lifespan makes these pants, in their opinions, not worth the high price tag considering that they will need to be replaced so soon after the initial purchase. This is not to say that there aren't some people out there who fell in love with them and did not have any problems at all that would happily recommend them and probably repurchase them themselves in the future. Unfortunately, that is not the norm when it comes to the All The Right Place's and the vast majority had negative experiences with them.

Care

In order to try to prolong the lifespan of the leggings, you should follow the care instructions. You can machine wash them in cold water with like colors, do not add bleach as that can ruin the color, then tumble dry on low heat. You are not going to want to iron or dry clean these pants as they will not survive the process.

Comfort

Consumers seem to be torn when it comes to the comfort level of the Lululemon All The Right Places pants. Some love them and others not so much. It all comes down, it appears, to personal preference. They fit snuggly and give some decent compression which most consumers can appreciate. The biggest problem, however, comes with the waistband. Many reviewers mentioned that it just does not want to stay in place and will continuously roll down, leaving you to have to stop mid-workout to hike them back up.

They are lightweight and flexible so they are not going to hold you back at all while you are running and they do a decent job at preventing chafing and irritation from your skin rubbing together or against the seams of the pants. The breathability will keep you fresh while the sweat-wicking materials will help keep you dry.

Flexibility

One of the better features of these pants is that they are extremely flexible. Made with a blend of Lycra and nylon ensures that you are going to get a four-way stretch material that will move with your body easily without holding you back. You can workout, whether running, cycling, or kickboxing, without fear of your leggings restricting your movements and slowing you down.

Style

For the most part, customers are happy with the look and style of these leggings. They are form fitting and will show just about every part of your body, so if you are not comfortable enough with yourself to head out of the house is something that is so snug then these are not going to be the right pants for you. If you do not mind that, however, then these are going to look great. The compression materials will hug your body nicely, giving you support and a secure fit. They have a high waistband that comes up and covers your belly nicely.

There are a decent amount of colors that you can choose from, which makes customers happy as they can find a pair that fits their own personal style and needs. You can choose between sage, deep marine, white, titanium, gatsby blue, nocturnal teal, true navy, dark olive, or black. Something that some reviewers noted is that there seems to be some inconsistency in the colors shown, they do not all look quite like the image shown online, so keep that in mind when deciding what you want to purchase. Regardless of what color you choose to go with, they are all going to have reflective detailing that will help keep you safe by keeping you visible when you are out in low light conditions.

Size

The Lululemon All The Right Places leggings come in sizes 2-14, giving them a decent size range. However, if you are a plus size women, then these pants are not going to work for you as they do not accommodate anything over a 14. If you are not sure what size you should order for yourself, they do provide a sizing chart that you can take a glance at to make sure you are getting what you need for the perfect fit.

The bottoms have an inseam that measures in at approximately 28 inches which is just a tad on the short side. If you are tall and need something to that will give you extra length then these are not the right product for you.

Fit

There seem to be some significant mixed reviews on how well these leggings fit. They are supposed to fit snuggly as they are designed with compression in mind. That being said, most customers have said that they are a little too snug for their liking and would recommend getting a size bigger to accommodate that. On the other hand, there are quite a few consumers who have stated that they are a bit baggy and would suggest getting a smaller size. It is recommended that you take your measurements and check out the sizing chart, so you are sure to get the correct size for the perfect fit the first time you order. Keep in mind, though, that many consumers stated that after a short time they would start to stretch out so you can consider that when choosing a size.

Features

One of the best features of the Lululemon All The Right Places leggings, according to many people, is the fact that it has pockets. Not only are there hand pockets on the sides, but there is also a little pouch at the waistband that would be perfect for your keys or ID. The side pockets can hold your cell phone or other smaller essentials you might want to take with you when you are hitting the track. It can eliminate the need to wear an armband for your music player which is always much appreciated.

Bottom Line

If you are an avid runner, enjoy hitting the gym, or just enjoy comfy lounge pants, then you might want to consider looking into Lululemon All The Right Places leggins. They are incredibly flexible so you can move freely no matter what you are doing. They are designed to fit you snuggly so you can get decent support and take advantage of the compression you get from them. Unfortunately, they are not the most reliable, as they tend to fall apart rather quickly, and they have a high price tag, making them a poor investment, according to many customers. Of course, there are some people out there who have had no problems with the longevity and swear by the pants. There are a lot of colors to choose from which consumers appreciate, ensuring that you can find something that suits your style needs. The best feature, according to many, is that they have pockets. Not only are there two side pockets to store your essentials but there is also a small pouch at the waist that is perfect for housing your key or ID when you leave the house. No matter what you're doing or where you are going, let the Lululemon's be your go-to leggings for your adventure.
