About Vuori, Inc.
Founded in 2015 by outdoorsman and former accountant Joe Kudla, Vuori is a relatively new brand that's quickly gaining in popularity. As they say, necessity—or in Joe's case, frustration—is the mother of invention. He wanted comfortable yoga clothes, but options were limited. Although Lululemon carried a men's line, to Joe, it felt like it was exclusively a women's brand.
In 2016, Vuori clothes became available at REI. Initially, all Vuori offered was menswear—it started as some sort of "Lululemon for men," after all. Today, Vuori clothing for men and women can be found in various retail shops, both online and brick-and-mortar.
Is Vuori owned by Lululemon?
No, it's not. While both Vuori and Lululemon offer high-quality athletic and leisure wear, Vuori is an independent athleisure label with its own unique style and philosophy.
What's so special about Vuori clothing?
Vuori apparel stands out for several reasons:
- Practical, high-quality staples: Designed to last for years, Vuori clothes hold up well. Because they're practical, they can go with pretty much anything in your closet. Plus, they're reasonably priced.
- Velvety soft fabric: Vuori clothing is incredibly comfortable to wear. Our customers love the fabric's smooth but durable feel.
- Flexible, four-way stretch fabric: The stretchy material feels like the fabric moves with you.
- Comfortable, elastic waist: Vuori shorts and joggers include an elastic waist that keeps clothing in place without digging into the skin.
Vuori vs. Lululemon: Which is better?
Both Vuori and Lululemon offer durable, stylish apparel that's partially made from recyclable materials. Vuori is known for its cozy, comfortable performance wear, while the Lululemon brand is synonymous with "high-quality athletic apparel."
Which is better boils down to your preferences in terms of style, fit, and brand values.

Are men's Vuori clothes sustainable?
Vuori is making great strides in sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly practices and materials into their production.

Vuori's synthetic fiber blend is lightweight and moisture-wicking (it pulls moisture away from the skin).
Vuori is pursuing a Climate Neutral certification and has partnered with The Renewal Workshop, which turns discarded textiles and clothing into new products.
Can I return men's Vuori clothing if it doesn't fit?

How do I care for my men's Vuori clothes?
With proper care, Vuori clothing is designed to last for years. Read the care tag instructions before washing.
A few care tips to note:
- Vuori joggers are machine-washable, but you can also wash them by hand. Make sure to empty the pockets before washing. If using a washing machine, tie the drawstrings to prevent them from getting pulled during the wash.
- Jackets and hoodies can go into the washer, but make sure to use a laundry bag.
- Most Vuori clothes can be put in the dryer on a low setting, but it's best to air-dry them, preferably in a well-ventilated area.
- Vuori clothes can be washed with other clothes. If using a washing machine, separate them from other clothes using a mesh bag.
- Don't add too much detergent. Excess detergent can be difficult to rinse out and can leave a residue on your clothes.
- Avoid using bleach or fabric conditioners.
