5 /5 Jean McCormack: I love Athleta, the clothes are amazing. I particularly love the fact that they use a fabric or thread called Modal, its made from trees, harvested in an environmentally sound way. This is great since being vegan I dont want to support animal cruelty through purchasing wool,silk, or fur or leather items. The modal fabrics are SUPER soft against your skin. Their return policy is better than REIs or Nordstroms. The staff are always super helpful and definitely friendly, sometimes the customers are kind rude to the staff here in Snobby Palo Alto. I have 4 pairs of Athleta leggings that I purchased in 2013 and i live in them , they are still good as new! They make clothes for real women
