Surya Tank, Heat It Up Crop/Bra/Short, Yoga On the Run Duffel and More






New luon light Surya Tank. Shown with new Heat It Up Crops and Shorts. I am curious to try on the Heat It Up crops since they are made of three different materials - luon light, luxtreme, and luon.

The pretty new Bleached Coral and Mellow Lemon Rejuvenate Hoodies.



Surf Studio Jacket is $148?

What, exactly, makes the Studio Surf jacket worth $148? People here have commented it's a Define with a hood. Total balls. How many items are lingering because the prices are just too high for the value/style? It's getting so I have a ton of stuff I am just waiting for the price to come down on.


The Pure Balance, one of my more expensive luon jackets, was priced at $128 when it first came out.

Upload!

A number of cute things were uploaded tonight but since I'm overspent I just limited myself to the Mellow Lemon Ocean Stripe CRB. I went to the store today and also bought a Get Up and Glow Jacket (the black one) and pair of Run For Your Life Crops (Pink Shell stripe) off the markdown rack. I exchanged my Bleached Coral/Black/Dune Layer Me LS for the White/ Dune one shown below.

There is a cute new Scuba in Bleached Coral, Black, and Dune. I need to lay off lusting for Scuba hoodies.

New color called Fresh Teal. I am not a fan of pale greens on me so this will be an easy pass.


I'm curious as to why the new $98 (!) Run: Proceed With Speed crops have only one small front pocket. One reason I love lululemon run crops is because they have lots of pockets, and in particular the back zipper pocket, where I keep my phone. I like how one of the touted features is bonded seams to reduce chafing. I've run half marathons in some very hot and humid conditions and never had a problem with lululemon's luxtreme bottoms chafing me. Is this a big issue with people? I know problems tend to crop up at longer distances, though. The naked seam items always seem very stiff wherever the seam is. I wish lululemon would give it up already. Is there anyone who prefers the clothes with naked seam? I avoid it.

What did you all get tonight?



New 12 Ounce Amphipod Handheld





(Please excuse my ratty nails in these photos. ;-)  )
New 12 ounce Amphipod handhelds are in the stores. They had a Frond/Faded Zap and plain black. The price was $3228. I have the non-lululemon version of this handheld (the Amphipod price is $21.95 ($19.95 on Runningwarehouse.com)). It's my go-to training run hydration bottle - light and comfortable to carry. I'll be honest, the Frond sleeve felt a lot thinner than the neoprene Amphipod sleeve on the one I have at home.

My Cool Racerbacks
