The tag calls these Luxtreme and the fabric content is not typical of fullux, which tends to be 70% polyester. You can see the back side of the material looks just like the front side.
For reference, here are the hang tag and fabric content of Brushed Animal Fullux Inspires:
I really like them paired with my Blush Quartz Mesh What the Sport Short. If you have pale pink swiftlys and other tech tops, these crops will look fantastic with them. I thought my Vintage Pink Swiftly tank looked very nice with them, too.
I also wanted to see how Vintage Green looked with the crops since the waistband So Fly Butterfly print has green in it. Vintage definitely coordinates with the green in the print though I don't know about wearing this color with the crops since they are pink in tone.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the Biggie So Fly Butterfly Race to Place hat. I didn't expect to like the print so much in person. The hat is a lot more muted in person than it is in these photos. I thought my Heathered Poseidon Cool Racerback coordinated really well with the blue in the hat. I liked the print so much I ordered the Butterfly Go the Distance Shorts tonight.
Butterfly Race to Place II and Crosscourt Petal Race to Win Hat. I could not tell you the difference between these two designs, other than the clip closure - the shape, stitching, and fit seems identical to me.

If you're excited about the heathered cranberry CRB, sorry to report it is "ick" - I have examined it in store. It is thin and polyestery like the other recent heathered versions. I love cranberry and was waiting for this color. When you have and know the better heathered versions from the past, you (at least, myself) can't settle for this crappy version just because of the color. I laugh at the news (I read here) that LLL wants to raise the price of heathered CRBs to $48. What are they on? For an inferior CRB, really! They do seem to have been playing with this because the one I looked at had a sticker over the original price ($42 over $48).
Way to go LLL for losing business. If this was excellent quality they would at least get my money for CRBs but now my LLL spending is way waaaay down.
Yah I didn't like the greyish heathering mixed in with cranberry. Personally I don't mind the silky lightweight feel of these for workouts. I find the thick heavy ones can be warm on hot days. We'll they tinkered with price of ftbw last year where they upped priced to 48 from 42. They honoured the 42 price for a bit and then raised it and people have been buying them up ever since.
Thanks for your comments on the butterfly race to place run hat. Are the lengths of the brims on both hats pretty much the same? I really wish LLL would come out with a run hat that has just a slightly longer brim... Thanks!
I have the petal Race to Win hat and on my smallish head, it's a little big. It comes down a little low at the visor and the cap wants to come over my ears. I have to sit the cap a little further back on my head to make it work. In store yesterday, I tried on the Race to Place hat in the reflective green color (same as the reflective speeds that uploaded to the Canadian site last week). I found this hat style even bigger. It came down even lower at the visor and ears. I couldn't make this one work. I found it for bigger, personally.
Completely agree with anon 6:43 am regarding raising the price of crbs. I will not pay $48 for a basic tank. I'll wait for them to hit wmtm which is pretty much what I've been doing although this season I did buy clear mint and gator green full price.
Did the butterfly FTBW upload last week?
I must say I love the light versions of CRBs ... They are exactly perfect for summer months and transition easily to heated yoga practice. I do think it would be better to keep the prices lower on CRBs because it is important that we can all afford more than one of them haha !! Keeping the LuLu wardrobe alive and colorful !!!
I personally like the heathered CRBs. I don't find them polyestery at all (not like the prints Lulu has been coming out with lately - THOSE are polyestery!). The heathered CRBs are a bit rough feeling initially but after a wash, it softens up considerably. Like silky soft.
I also like the thinner versions of the CRBs although I prefer the yogasmoga CRB like tank, they don't show as much cleavage as the lulu ones which I prefer.

Educator here--fullux just means that they're full luxtreme without the mesh if the inspire mesh. Full-on luxtreme is the silky, tight luxtreme that I think you're referring to.
