Comparison of Famme Softy Tights and Lululemon Align Pants

When it comes to premium workout apparel, Famme Softy Tights and Lululemon Align Pants are two of the most popular options. Both are known for their comfort and fantastic fit. Many people who know about Align Pants from Lululemon wonder what the difference is? In this article we write more about both Align Pants and Softy Tights.

The material: Softy Tights vs. Align Pants

The material is almost identical. Both Softy Tights and Align Pants are made of extra fine Nylon 6.6 and Lycra Elastane. The yarn is interlock knitted and the fabric is brushed to make it ultra soft. The result is extra comfort and tights that sit well on the body. Almost all tights are comfortable, but you'll notice a difference when you try Softy Tights or Align Pants.

Lululemon's Align Pants use the fabric Nulu ® . It is manufactured by Taiwanese Eclat Textiles Co. Ltd. which is partially owned by Lululemon. Zero ® is Lululemon's softest fabric.

Famme's Softy Tights use the fabric SoftSilk ®. Both Zero ® SoftSilk ® is medium thick (215-220 gsm) and breathes effectively. They consist of 80% Nylon 6.6 and 20% Lycra ® Elastane.

Front seam vs. without front seam

We purposely made Softy Tights without a front seam because that's what everyone wants. Why doesn't Lululemon do the same?

Align Pants forces you to go with a front seam because:

  • This increases the cost of the tights
  • When everyone wants the Align Pants without the front seam, what are they going to do with all the front seam tights that nobody wants?
  • Pictures, information and marketing must be changed

That's why one of the world's most expensive tights still has a front seam, even though nobody really wants it.

Nice fit

Align Pants and Softy Tights have a high waist and full length. Personally, we think the Align Pants cut the bottom a little too low. At Softy Tights, we have chosen to place a curved seam over the bum to give the illusion of a finer rear. The seam higher up will also give the feeling that the tights fit better around the waist.

Use & Activity

Softy Tights and Align Pants can be used for the same purpose. Both for training and for everyday use. The most common are yoga, strength training and other activities with low to medium intensity. Due to the extra fine material, it is not recommended to use Align or Softy for high-intensity training. This applies, for example, to Crossfit, where you do exercises with a lot of friction against the garment.

The fabric is light, transports moisture efficiently and dries quickly. Many therefore choose to use the Softy Tights regardless of activity, on all sessions.
