I need to do a better job of poking around the
Lululemon website and reading their blog. You never know what kind of gems you turn up. This looks like a new short sleeve tech tee made with the same material as the Silver Bullet and Run For Your Life Tanks. I can't wait until this is released.

According to the lulumum blog, this is the 'silver bullet SS,' and it appears to come in rocksteady as well as heathered black (I think that's the colour in the photo?)

Not relevant to this post, but which of the current crops do you think are thickest material? Do wonder unders get transparent on extreme stretch? I know luon is supposed to be thicker than Luxtreme, but I see different transparency on bending in various Luon crops as well. Educators at my store didnt help much. I have dignity that seems to be thicker, but I dont like that crop too much. The reason for this question is that I do rock climbing and that means my behind is what my belayer is looking at the entire time and it better not be see through. Hope you have some suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks, anon 8:25 pm!
@ Anu - That is a good question. I think Wunder Unders are a bit thinner than some of the other crops like the Groove crop. That is why people like them so much. Lulu has been playing with their luon formulas over the years (even though they deny it, my fingers tell me differently) so I'd have to go by the current batch of colors out there. I think Groove crops are a good choice. I haven't tried a lot of the latest crops on lately because I don't need a new pair. Astros always stuck me as being on the thinner side, so do Relaxed Fit crops. I thought the Backbend crops were super comfortable. Would you ever consider anything like the Sing Floss Travel crop? Those are made of French Terry and won't be see through. I've rubbed my luon pants against brick and "roughened" them up so I don't know if they would really stand up well to rock climbing but the french terry might fare better.
The Wunder Unders come in Luon and Luon Light. The Light fabric will be a bit sheer and not as supportive as the regular luon. You should not have a problem with the regular luon being sheer as long as you are wearing your correct size.
Thank you so much LuluAddict and Anonymous. I will try Grooove crops. I didn't like the look of Sing Floss Travel crop online but I had not noticed that it was french terry fabric. I think I will give it a try - it might look better on :)
