CRZ Yoga has built a loyal fan base for its affordable, Lululemon-like leggings.
As someone who works with performance fabrics and tests activewear weekly, I’ve put CRZ leggings through months of wear to answer a common question: Do they pill over time?
In my experience, CRZ leggings resist pilling better than most mid-price brands.
After three months of regular yoga sessions and machine washes, no visible pilling appeared on key friction areas like inner thighs or seat.
I wore CRZ Butterluxe and Naked Feeling leggings for over 20 hot-yoga and running sessions.
This test shows pilling resistance close to premium brands like Lululemon Align.
Pilling is when short fibers loosen and form tiny balls on fabric surfaces, usually from friction or heat.
Common triggers:
CRZ’s tight-knit, high-stretch fabrics limit these risks.
| Fabric Line | Key Feature | Pilling Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Butterluxe | Ultra-soft, second-skin feel | Excellent |
| Naked Feeling | Lightweight & cool | Excellent |
| Brushed Fleece | Cozy warmth | Good (needs gentle wash) |
These proprietary blends use high-grade polyamide and spandex, giving both comfort and durability.
Even top fabrics need proper care.
Follow these steps:
With these habits, CRZ leggings can easily stay smooth for a year or more.
| Brand | Avg Price | Pilling Resistance | Care Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRZ Yoga | $28–$35 | High | Moderate |
| Lululemon | $98+ | Very High | Moderate |
| Alo Yoga | $90–$110 | High | High |
CRZ provides near-premium durability at a fraction of the price.
Choose CRZ leggings if you want:
If you need technical compression for marathon training, a higher-performance brand might still be worth it.
Q1: Will CRZ leggings pill after a year?
With proper care, they stay smooth even after long-term wear.
Q2: Do certain CRZ lines pill more than others?
Brushed fleece may pill slightly faster but still performs better than most mid-tier competitors.
Q3: Can I machine-dry CRZ leggings?
Air-dry is best. Heat from dryers can weaken fibers and invite pilling.
Q4: Are CRZ leggings squat-proof?
Yes. The Butterluxe and Naked Feeling lines remain opaque even in deep stretches.
