Product Description
Size and Fit
PureFlex is 92% GOTS-certified organic cotton with 8% spandex. It stretches and recovers, but it behaves like cotton, not like a compression synthetic. Choose your true size.
Sizing down is the most common cause of sheerness. A smaller size puts more tension across the seat, and fabric under tension reads lighter in a deep squat or a forward hinge. If you are between sizes, take the larger one.
Shorts sit closer to the widest part of the thigh than leggings do, so the fit through the seat matters more here than the length does. Check the size guide measurements at your hip rather than going by the size you usually wear in shorts.
The high waist is designed to stay put through movement without a rigid compression band. Full measurements are in our Sizing Chart.

Tested and Trusted
We had our bestselling leggings independently tested for PFAS by Applied Technical Services. Total fluorine, the limiting marker for the entire PFAS class, came back none detected at below 2 parts per million.
The report covers the main fabric of our organic cotton leggings, tested in October 2024, against a current industry threshold of 100 ppm. We publish the result rather than a blanket claim.
Why go the extra mile? PFAS are synthetic chemicals used to make fabrics stain and water-resistant, but they’re also known as “forever chemicals” because they persist in the environment and accumulate in our bodies. With PFAS linked to health risks, we made it our goal to guarantee skin-friendly comfort that eases your body and mind.
We use no DWR coatings and no fluorinated finishes anywhere in our line.
Frequently Asked Questions
PuraKai aims to create eco-friendly, sustainable clothing that is both stylish and comfortable, using only natural fabrics that begin and end in the soil, avoiding the shedding of microplastics. We also actively support environmental initiatives and ocean conservation.
PuraKai garments are designed, cut, sewn, and finished in our own Los Angeles facility, with knitting and garment dyeing handled by Los Angeles partners. Our Texas-Grown All American line follows its own documented route: organic cotton grown in Texas, spun in North Carolina, knitted in South Carolina, and sewn in Georgia.
We primarily use organic cotton, hemp, merino wool, and lyocell. We started with cotton grown in California and have since expanded to using GOTS organic cotton from India and other natural fibers.
Our All American Project uses Texas-Grown organic cotton made in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, all within a 1,350 mile supply chain from seed to clothing.
To mitigate the environmental impact of microfiber shedding, PuraKai has committed to using only natural fibers that are biodegradable and integrate back into the soil at the end of their lifecycle, except for our activewear, which requires a small amount of spandex.
We have donated a portion of sales to environmental and ocean nonprofits every year since 2012, including organizations working on plastic pollution such as 5 Gyres.
We currently do not offer international shipping.
We recommend following the care instructions provided on the label of each garment to ensure the longevity and maintain the quality of your PuraKai clothing.
