Silver Spoon/Slate Herringbone Think Fast Hoodie. I really liked this one, too, when I tried it on. The black stitching, hems, and cuffs is very sharp.

Store Try On Report - Snapshot Tee, Luon Jet Crops, and Think Fast Hoodie

Some photos of the new Snapshot tee. The tag doesn't say it but this feels like it's made of the stiff and icky swim fabric. I thought these were gross. One version has already been sent straight to the outlet:

Thanks to Ms. S. for the outlet photo.

I don't know why lululemon is making tee shirts from this fabric, particularly for the winter. Put these prints on Vitasea, which will mute them a bit, and you'd probably have a brisk seller.

My surprise buy of the day was a pair of black luon Jet Crops. I didn't even realize these existed even thought they are on the website. I tried on the luxtreme Jet Crops over the summer but didn't care for them in full on luxtreme. However, the luon version is another story altogether. These are like comfy sweatpants except more acceptable since they're luon and have a lulu symbol on them. I wish they came in brushed luon so they'd be even more cozy for chilly days. I think these are like a warmer weather version of Base Runners, in terms of comfort. I've bought looser fitting crops before, like the Free Fall crops but the Jet crops are better. The Free Falls had a droopier crotch, are shorter (Jets are 7/8), and were made of light luon (Jets made of regular luon). These only go to a size ten but I think most people can size down in these.

I tried on both versions of the new Think Fast Hoodie and liked them both. The pique is thick and warm. The Herringbone is a bit thinner by comparison, but is on par with the other herringbones that are out now, but I thought look really sharp with black pants. I was tempted to get both but I restrained myself and stuck with the pique. The fit is TTS.

I ended up returning the Ultra Violet Pique Vinyasa and the Fluff Off  Jacket today. In light of all the nice pullovers and hoodies coming I just couldn't keep these pieces that would be worn once or twice a year. The Fluff Off Jacket is gorgeous, IMO, but I found it tight in the chest on my and I would only wear it once or twice a year at most. I'd much rather have two pullovers for the same money.

Pique Think Fast Hoodie vs. the Flurry Fighter Pullover

Back of the Think Fast and Flurry Fighter Pullovers

Some comparison photos and measurements of the new Pique Think Fast Hoodie and the Tech Fleece Flurry Fighter Pullover. Both pullovers weighed the same, at 1.11 lbs. The Think Fast is 2" longer than the Flurry Fighter, 28" vs. 26". The width at the armpits was the same. The width at the bottom hem was 1.5" wider on the Flurry Fighter but the Think Fast has a gathered elastic band at the back. Both fit TTS, though the pique has more stretch so might feel looser. The arms on the pique are a little looser feeling.

The Think Fast Hoodie wins the pocket roominess category. I can fit my iphone 5S in its case (a Lifeproof for a size reference) in both but it's a tight squeeze in the Flurry Fighter.

The Think Fast has a reflective zipper and strips on the inner cuff. Thumbholes and a double cuff.

The Think Fast is trimmed and the hood is lined with rulu.

I thought this pique looked familiar. The top on the right is a Turn Around LS.
