Both brands sell joggers with thousands of reviews on their product pages, and both charge over $100 for them. Only one is on Clearancify, at 40 to 50% off. This is Vuori vs. Lululemon on paper: fabric, inseams, sizes, prices and returns, straight from each brand's own pages.

What you won't find here is a verdict on which one feels softer or lasts longer. We haven't worn them side by side, and "softer" is a word that describes the person as much as the pants. What we can do is line up the things you can check: what's in the fabric, how many lengths there are, how far the sizes run, what full price looks like, and how long you get to change your mind.

Everything below was checked on the brands' websites on October 29, 2026. Prices and policies change, so treat the numbers as a dated snapshot, not a promise.

Two brands, very different sizes

Lululemon is the giant. Its annual report filed in March 2026 says it opened its first store in Vancouver, Canada, in 1998, and ran 811 company-operated stores as of February 1, 2026. It also sells through its own websites and app, third-party online marketplaces, outlets, wholesale to places like fitness studios, and a "Like New" resale program.

Vuori is younger and private. It launched in 2015 under founder Joe Kudla, and its own story page describes "premium performance apparel inspired by the active Coastal California lifestyle," naming Encinitas, California, as the town that inspired it. In November 2024, General Atlantic and Stripes announced an $825 million investment that valued Vuori at $5.5 billion. The same release said Vuori served customers in 18 countries and expected to pass 100 stores in 2026. It also sells through partner retailers: REI's Vuori page listed Kore shorts and Strato Tech shirts when we checked.

The short version: Lululemon has roughly eight times the store count Vuori was aiming for this year. That matters less for the clothes than for where you can try them on.

Product by product

For men, the classic matchups are joggers, lined shorts and tech tees. For women, it's joggers and leggings. Here's the detail behind the tables.

Joggers

Vuori's Sunday Performance Jogger listed at $110 in black: 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane, a 28" inseam, an athletic slim fit, regular or long lengths, and sizes XXS to XXL. Lululemon's ABC Warpstreme Jogger listed at $128, with a body of 53% elastomultiester and 47% recycled polyester, in 28", 30" and 32" lengths and XS to XXL. The "ABC" is an ergonomic gusset meant to take tension off the crotch. Lululemon spells out the acronym on the page, and it's exactly what you think.

For women, Vuori's Performance Jogger, with nearly 50,000 reviews on its product page, showed a $94 regular price. It's made of Vuori's DreamKnit fabric, 89% recycled polyester and 11% elastane, with a 25" inseam and sizes XXS to XXL. Lululemon's women's joggers go in a different direction: the Scuba Mid-Rise Oversized Jogger, for example, is a 70% cotton, 30% recycled polyester fleece with a $118 regular price, in 27", 30" and 32" lengths.

Shorts

Vuori's Kore Short calls itself "the short that started it all." It showed a $68 regular price, a classic fit with a built-in boxer-brief liner, 5", 7" and 9" inseams, and sizes XXS to XXL. The shell is 48% recycled polyester, 42% polyester and 10% elastane. Lululemon's Pace Breaker Lined Short listed at $78, also with 5", 7" and 9" options, a body of 86% recycled polyester and 14% elastane, a mesh liner and a zippered side pocket, in XS to XXL. Same inseam menu, $10 apart at full price.

Leggings

This is Lululemon's home turf. The Align High-Rise Pant listed at $98 in Nulu fabric, 81% nylon and 19% Lycra elastane, in 25", 28" and 31" lengths and numeric sizes 0 to 20. On the Vuori side, the AllTheFeels Legging page showed a $110 regular price for 75% recycled polyamide and 25% elastane, and the Daily Legging showed $89 for 72% polyester and 28% elastane with a 24.5" inseam. Both Vuori leggings come in short, regular and long lengths, sized XXS to XXL.

The sizing systems differ, which trips people up. Lululemon's leggings use numbers; Vuori uses letters. Vuori's Performance Jogger page maps them: XXS is 000, XS is 00 to 0, S is 2 to 4, M is 6 to 8, L is 10 to 12, XL is 14 to 16, and XXL is 18 to 20. On those charts, both brands top out around a US 20 in women's bottoms.

Tees

Vuori's Strato Tech Tee listed at $58 in 96% polyester and 4% elastane, with a modern athletic fit, a 29" body length, and sizes XXS to 3XL. Lululemon's Metal Vent Tech Short-Sleeve Shirt listed at $78: 53% nylon, 40% recycled polyester, 4% elastane and 3% X-Static nylon, a slim fit, seamless construction, and XS to XXL. Vuori's size run is one step wider at each end; Lululemon's shirt costs $20 more.

Returns: the biggest difference on paper

If you're comparing these two at full price, the return windows may matter more than any fabric percentage.

  • Vuori: 120 days. Vuori's return policy, which it calls the Investment in Happiness, says returns must arrive within 120 days of purchase (90 if you paid with Amazon Pay), in original condition unless defective, with proof of purchase. Return labels are free, original shipping isn't refunded, and there are no direct exchanges. Sale items can be returned, except anything marked "Final Sale."
  • Lululemon: 30 days, plus a holiday window. Lululemon's return policy allows returns or exchanges within 30 days for items that are "unworn and unwashed, with the hang tags attached." Purchases made between October 13 and December 24 can come back until January 23. Sale items from its "We Made Too Much" section are final sale unless you're a member, and members can return them for a gift card.

Read Vuori's fine print twice, because that's the part that matters for clearance shoppers. Vuori decides what's Final Sale, and says it shows that label on the product page, at checkout and on the receipt.

What Vuori looks like on Clearancify right now

When we checked our catalog on October 29, 2026, it listed 251 Vuori pieces, all sold by Vuori itself: 143 men's, 101 women's, plus a few socks, beanies, a hat, a pickleball paddle and one pair of shoes. The markdowns come in two tiers. 142 pieces were about 50% off, and the other 109 were 40 to 44% off. The median price was $64, against a median regular price of $118.

Here's the catch. We opened a sample of these on Vuori's site the same day. All four of the 50%-off pieces we opened were marked Final Sale: the Sunday Performance Jogger, a Kore Short, the AllTheFeels Legging and the Daily Legging. None of the three 40%-off pieces we opened were: a Kore Short in a limited-edition stripe, the women's Performance Jogger and the Long Sleeve Current Tech Tee. Seven pages isn't a rule, and Vuori can change a label anytime. Still, if being able to send something back matters to you, look at the 40% tier first, and let the product page have the final word.

Across those 251, we counted 26 joggers and sweatpants, 32 pairs of shorts and 18 leggings, flares and tights. The women's leggings were often down to a few sizes, mostly at the large end. You can browse all of it on our Vuori page, and if you're building fall outfits around it, our men's fall outfit formulas are a good next stop.

Which one fits your situation

No winner here, just the specs and prices sorted by what you might care about:

  • You want the longest return window. Vuori, at full price or on a markdown that isn't marked Final Sale: 120 days versus Lululemon's 30 (or January 23 for holiday purchases).
  • You want the most inseam choices. Roughly a tie. The Align came in 25", 28" and 31"; Vuori's leggings come in short, regular and long. In shorts, both offer 5", 7" and 9". Lululemon puts the inches in the product name, which makes comparison shopping easier.
  • You wear a size outside S to XL. Both reach about a US 20 in women's bottoms on the charts we saw. In men's tees, Vuori's Strato ran XXS to 3XL, one size further at each end than the Metal Vent Tech's XS to XXL.
  • You want to try things on first. Lululemon's 811 company-operated stores make that easier. Vuori has its own stores too, plus partners like REI.
  • You want the lowest price on the brand. On Clearancify, that's Vuori, because it's the one we carry: about half off on 142 pieces when we checked, with the Final Sale caveat above. Lululemon runs its own markdowns in "We Made Too Much," final sale for non-members.
  • You'd like more cotton. Nearly everything we compared is synthetic on both sides. Lululemon's Scuba fleece jogger, at 70% cotton, is the exception in this lineup.

So is Vuori better than Lululemon? On paper, it depends on which line above you care about most. Neither spec sheet makes the other one pointless.

Brands like Vuori (that we actually carry)

People searching for brands like Vuori usually want the same formula: joggers, lined shorts and tech tees that work at the gym and the grocery store. These are the brands in our catalog that make those things, and several are marked down further than Vuori:

  • VRST is DICK'S own men's apparel brand, per DICK'S May 2026 announcement. The lineup reads like a Vuori shopping list: 7" lined and unlined shorts, a Recovery Jogger, seamless tees. Many pieces were 75 to 88% off when we checked.
  • CALIA is the women's counterpart from DICK'S, with leggings, joggers and wide-leg pants. Our CALIA guide has the history and the numbers.
  • Mack Weldon covers basics with a performance angle: compression-lined shorts, sweatpants and crew-neck tees.
  • Born Primitive leans gym-first, with training shorts and tees at about half off.
  • Outdoor Voices has sweatpants, leggings and hiking pants, many 60 to 80% off.

We're not claiming any of these is a Vuori twin. They make the same kinds of pieces at lower clearance prices, which is a different promise. Check the size runs; several are down to a few sizes.

Before you buy

  • Final sale: on Vuori's site, look for the "Final Sale" label under the product name before you check out. In our spot check, the 50%-off pieces had it.
  • Sizes: the cards show how many sizes are left. Many women's pieces were down to one or two, and Vuori's lengths (short, regular, long) are a separate choice.
  • Returns: they're set by the retailer. For our Vuori listings that's Vuori's own policy; for VRST and CALIA, it's DICK'S.
  • Prices: they change daily. Full prices in this article come from the brands' pages on October 29, 2026; the cards show the latest clearance price we've seen.

Clearancify finds the markdowns and sends you to the store to buy. Here's how it works.

Questions people ask

Is Vuori better than Lululemon?

Neither wins on paper; it depends on what you care about. On October 29, 2026, Vuori offered a 120-day return window to Lululemon's 30 days, and its full prices were lower for the jogger, short and tee we compared. Lululemon has far more stores and lists inseams in inches in its legging names. We haven't worn both, so we make no call on softness or durability.

Is Vuori cheaper than Lululemon?

At full price, mostly. In our October 29, 2026 comparison, Vuori's Sunday Performance Jogger listed at $110 versus $128 for Lululemon's ABC Warpstreme Jogger, the Kore Short showed $68 versus $78 for the Pace Breaker Lined Short, and the Strato Tech Tee was $58 versus $78 for the Metal Vent Tech. Leggings depend on the style: $89 to $110 for the Vuori pair we checked, $98 for the Align.

What is Vuori's return policy compared with Lululemon's?

On October 29, 2026, Vuori allowed returns within 120 days of purchase (90 with Amazon Pay), in original condition, with free return labels, except items marked Final Sale. Lululemon allowed 30 days for unworn, unwashed items with tags, extended to January 23 for purchases made October 13 to December 24, and treats We Made Too Much sale items as final sale unless you're a member.

Are Vuori sale items final sale?

Some are. Vuori's policy says sale items can be returned unless they're marked Final Sale, and it shows that label on the product page. When we opened seven Vuori pages on October 29, 2026, the four that were 50% off were marked Final Sale and the three that were about 40% off were not. Check each product page before you buy.

What brands are like Vuori?

In our catalog, the closest matches for joggers, lined shorts and tech tees are VRST (DICK'S men's brand), CALIA (DICK'S women's brand), Mack Weldon, Born Primitive and Outdoor Voices. Many of their pieces were marked down further than Vuori when we checked on October 29, 2026, though some were down to a few sizes.
