Alo High-Waist Airlift Legging vs Vivobarefoot Primus Lite IV
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: Vivobarefoot Primus Lite IV takes it — 74 vs 70.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- Alo High-Waist Airlift Legging — You want a premium, sculpting, sheeny compression legging for strength or studio-to-street wear and accept the price.
- Vivobarefoot Primus Lite IV — Buy if you want maximum ground feel for lifting, functional training and hard gym floors, and you or your clients are already used to barefoot shoes.
Alo High-Waist Airlift Legging
70Score · Medium
from US$134
A durable, compressive, aesthetically premium legging that rates strongly on product — weaker on brand-service reputation, and a premium price with no pockets.
Our pick 
Vivobarefoot Primus Lite IV
74Score · Low
from €97
The Primus Lite IV keeps the class-leading ground feel of the III in a lighter, more resource-efficient build. Early reviews flag weaker durability and grip, and crowd data is still thin.
