The Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant with Pockets 25" takes the soft Nulu feel of the classic Align and adds two side drop-in pockets and a back drop-in pocket. It uses 81% nylon and 19% Lycra elastane, comes in sizes 0-20 and is marketed for yoga and low-impact workouts. The main reason to buy it is the pockets, since the soft, light-compression feel is the same as the standard Align. It lists at about $128, so the price is the main trade-off.

Fit and sizing
The page lists sizes 0 through 20 and a 25" high-rise length intended to sit above the ankle. Page reviewers rate the fit as true to size. The size guide on the page also mentions 28" and 31" lengths, but it does not tie them to this style, so confirm length availability before ordering if you are tall. If you are comparing sizes with the classic Align, our Align review covers general sizing notes.
Fabric and feel
This is Nulu, the same buttery, lightweight fabric used across the Align line, with added Lycra for stretch and shape retention. It is four-way stretch, sweat-wicking and breathable. The feel is soft and light-compression, not sculpting. The page makes no opacity claim. Owners of Nulu leggings commonly report that dark colors are fine and light shades can thin out when stretched, so be careful with pale colors if coverage matters.
How it performs for everyday wear and travel
The pockets are why this version exists. Two side drop-in pockets plus a back drop-in pocket that the page says holds a key, card or phone give you more storage than the hidden waistband pocket on the classic version. Some owners say side drop-in pockets are best for small items, so test with your phone before relying on them for a run. For heavier training, a firmer option such as the Wunder Train or the Fast and Free has more hold.
Price and value
List price is about $128, and the page we checked showed $74 as a final-sale price, so watch the sales. At full price this is expensive for a legging with light compression. If pockets matter more than the brand, the Girlfriend Collective Compressive Pocket and the Beyond Yoga Pacer offer different feels at different prices. See our best leggings with pockets for more.
Alternatives
For the same fabric without pockets, the classic Align is cheaper. For a pocket legging with firmer compression, see the Girlfriend Collective option above. Use the leggings finder to filter by pockets and feel.
Who should skip it
Skip this if you need firm compression, squat-proof assurance, or do not want to pay about $128. Also skip it if you would rather have a smooth, technical feel than a buttery one.

The verdict
If you love the Align feel and want pockets, this is the version to buy, ideally on sale. At full price it is a lot for light compression. Buy it for travel and errands; skip it for lifting, running or tight budgets.
