CRZ YOGA FAQ
Is CRZ YOGA actually good?
Yes for the price tier. CRZ YOGA sits between Amazon-generic and Lululemon, both in quality and in price. The Naked Feeling fabric genuinely competes with Align II, the Buttery Soft line is more workhorse than studio, and the bras run light-to-medium support. For yoga, Pilates and general gym at half the Lulu price, CRZ YOGA earns its 60,000+ Amazon reviews.
Is CRZ YOGA owned by Lululemon?
No. CRZ YOGA is a separate brand, headquartered in China, with no ownership tie to Lululemon. The naming and fabric similarity (Naked Feeling vs Align Nulu) draws comparisons, but the companies are unrelated. CRZ YOGA sells primarily through Amazon.
How does CRZ YOGA Naked Feeling compare to Lululemon Align?
Similar buttery feel, slightly less compression, half the price. Aligns are made from Nulu, CRZ uses a similar nylon-spandex blend. Most studio yogis cannot tell them apart blindfolded. The difference shows up in long-term wear: Aligns hold shape longer past 50 wash cycles, CRZ pills slightly earlier.
What is the difference between Naked Feeling and Buttery Soft?
Naked Feeling is softer and lighter, made for studio yoga and Pilates. Buttery Soft is more compressive, made for gym, running and high-intensity classes. Both come from CRZ YOGA. Pick Naked for studio, Buttery for the gym.
Are CRZ YOGA leggings squat-proof?
The Naked Feeling line is squat-proof in cream and most solid colors. Lighter pastels and some prints are not. The Buttery Soft line is more compressive but a few light colorways show through. When in doubt check the Amazon Q&A for the specific color you want.
What size CRZ YOGA should I buy?
Sizing runs small compared to US athletic standards. Size up if you have hips wider than 38 inches, or if you are between sizes. The Naked Feeling 25 inch hits at the calf, the 28 inch is full ankle. Tall users (5'8"+) should consider the 28 inch.
Does CRZ YOGA shrink in the wash?
Slight shrinkage after the first wash if you use hot water and high-heat dry. Recommended care: cold wash, hang dry or tumble dry low. Following the care label keeps the fit consistent for 50+ wash cycles.
