Alo's Airlift and Airbrush pieces sit between $98 and $138, and most of what makes them feel expensive is the fabric — a dense seamless knit that holds its shape and does not go sheer when you bend. That knit is not exclusive to Alo, which is why the alternatives below get close for a fraction of the price. These are not counterfeits and none of them carry Alo branding. Every pick here has at least 100 real orders and a buyer rating of 90% or better, and the prices you see were read from the store this week rather than typed in months ago.

Waistband height and structure — the reason Alo's crossover waist stays put is a wide bonded band, not elastic sewn onto jersey. Seam placement — seamless construction is what removes the chafing that makes a cheap legging unwearable after twenty minutes.
The listings that fail on all three are usually the ones with no order history. That is why order count is the strongest filter available here: a legging that four thousand people bought and rated 98% has been squat-tested by four thousand people.
These are cut to Asian sizing, which runs roughly one size smaller than US. If you wear a US small, order a medium. If you are between sizes, go up rather than down: a compressive knit that is slightly loose still looks right, and one that is slightly tight goes sheer. Our US · EU · UK size converter has the full table.
No, and they are not sold as such. These are alternatives from other manufacturers that use similar seamless knit construction. None of them carry Alo branding, and none of them are counterfeits — a counterfeit copies a logo, an alternative copies a fabric and a cut.
Alo's price includes brand, US retail, marketing and margin. These come straight from the factories that make seamless activewear, without any of that. The fabric can genuinely be comparable; the finishing and consistency between units usually is not.
Size up one from your usual US size. These are cut to Asian sizing. If you normally wear a US small, order a medium.
The seamless sets here are double-knit and rated well by thousands of buyers specifically on opacity, but any legging can go sheer if you size down. Ordering your true size or one up is the single biggest factor.
