Alo Yoga Airbrush Legging
At a glance
Summary
Alo Yoga Airbrush Legging scores 22/100. Fabric is 87% Nylon and 13% Elastane — 100% petroleum-derived synthetics with zero natural fiber content. Both fibers continuously shed microplastic fibers with every wash, and wear-and-tear during exercise releases additional microplastic dust into the air. Worn against the entire lower body during sweaty workouts, the synthetic fabric stays in maximum skin contact for hours — sweat and elevated skin temperature can increase absorption of any residual chemical finishes (dyes, anti-static, moisture-wicking treatments). For a cleaner alternative in the same category, look to organic cotton or merino wool leggings with minimal stretch fiber.

Nylon (87%)Very Bad
Petroleum-derived synthetic plastic fiber forming the body of the legging. Sheds microplastic fibers with every wash — a single wash of a synthetic garment can release hundreds of thousands of microfibers into wastewater. Worn against the lower body during sweaty exercise, where elevated skin temperature and moisture amplify contact with any residual chemical finishes, dyes, and treatments.
