The pants are made of luon, a primary fabric found in most of Lululemon's performance wear products, from yoga pants to headbands. Luon, which is trademarked by the brand, is 86 percent nylon and 14 percent Lycra. It' s an important part of Lululemon's secret sauce. So, what's so special about it? Why are customers willing to fork out $98 for a pair of luon yoga pants? To start, the fabric is preshrunk, stretchy, and wicks away moisture from your body when you sweat. The Lycra ensures that the fabric will never stretch or bag out, while the nylon provides coverage. Lululemon's Luon pants are made by Eclat Textile Co. in Taiwan, the same supplier that Lululemon has used for the past decade. There are also a bunch of variations of luon that Lululemon uses, like brushed luon, reversible luon, and heathered luon.
