1. What “Comfort” Really Means in Activewear
When people compare comfort, they’re not just talking about softness.
From my experience, comfort includes:
- how the fabric feels on skin
- how the garment moves with your body
- whether you notice it after hours of wear
Both Lululemon and Vuori approach comfort differently.
