I'm catching up on the photos I missed while shaking off the cold that waylaid me last week - the first photo I've seen of what I consider a new loose fitting Swiftly LS - the Breeze By LS. Shown with Speed Tight IV pants that have a luxtreme front and full on luxtreme backside.
Bordeaux Give Me Qi Crops. These are the crops that are a mix of luon and luxtreme. I assume the backside is luon and the front is luxtreme. That has been the format of mixed pants before and one I found rather nice.
Stress Less Hoodie and Herringbone High Times Pant.
Circadian Tank and Sunset Salutation Crop.
Sunset Salutation Tank and Boogie Shorts
Tie Dye Ebb to Street Pant
Universal Wrap and Sunset Salutation Pant
Lighten Up Bra
All the Right Places Pant and Crop. I wonder how well the pricey pants are selling.

I NEED that Breeze By top!!
Good gosh, they used black stitching on white herringbone again. WHY? Wallet is safe.
LLA on the Speed Tight IV, for black and gator green there is no mention online (that my eyes could find) of Luxtreme front/Full Lux back or is it just the butt?. Have you confirmed in person? I'm bummed b/c I really wanted these but in Luxtreme only, for the weight. Hmmm...Maybe I need to give the mix a try.
@ anon 3:40 pm - It might have a been in a write up the stores gave the pant. I'll try and find it.
I like how Stress Less Hoodie looks with herringbone HT. I have hoodie from last year and just got HT on my trip to Canada , can't wait to wear them together when it' cools down
OT: anyone know what brand the gray shoes are with the green Sun Saluation pants?
The pricing debacle and these meh styles and colors have loosened lulu's grip on me. Nothing here tempts me. Bring back the classic styles like the Push UR Limits, No Limits, Scoop Neck (etc. etc.) tanks - these might spark my interest again. I also had the same thought as @ anon 1:40 - why the dark stitching on the white herringbone again? Wasn't this a big complaint last year? I might have considered those if they would have gotten the stitching right...
I just received my Speed Tight IV last night - they are lighter in front and thicker in the back. I found the thickness of the material on the bum made them crease under my bum cheek if that makes sense. I like them though. Also they are completely opaque.
When I got these in the mail I was actually wearing a pair from last year, they have a charcoal background with little swirls, don't remember the pattern name. I found my older pair to fit much more snug than the new speed tight IV. I will be interested to see if they stay up ok.
Hey Anon 3:40, I think we came to the conclusion either here or on Lulumum's blog when the tights uploaded on the US side last week that they do feature mesh panels on the backs of the legs. Not sure how that impacts the fabric composition for the rest of the pants, but I know the mesh turned myself and several other posters off of buying them. :(
Re: Pricey pants. Personally I'm going to return my Tight Stuff Tight in night fall black tricolor for several reasons.
- the seams behind knees bother me no matter how much I love the fabric and the compression. At first I didn't notice the seams but after a bit of walking around my house the discomfort grew and I simply can't trust them for a comfy long run. I have two pairs of CW-X crop/tights and neither does this. I've relied on Cwx for marathon/half races and they are really worth every penny imho.
- it is in full stock in all colours online/in stores. I have full confidence this will be in WMTM soon. But even then I'd still rather pick up 2XU or CWX for far cheaper price at race expos.
I did purchase the all the right places crop and like them very much albeit the price is a bummer. I got them in my TTS and they are nicely compressive whereas the tight stuff tight in my TTS is way too compressive especially around the knee area..and I like compression! But at $148 I didn't bother trying on a size up because I knew I had to draw the line somewhere with these price increases. I am also very confused since they left the speed tight at $108 (which I am happy) But how different are these materials and speed's have seaming and pockets too maybe not as many as the all the right places.
Anyway, on another note, I tried the Sunset Saltation Tank and loved it but for the color..I tried the one you've pictured here..hopefully more colors will become available.
I really want to try the Qi crops, the bordeaux is beautiful. Just curious why you don't credit the stores you post pix from? (signed, former graphic artist who is a stickler for this kind of thing! ha ha)
I'm curious about the Speed Tights as well. I'm crazy for them, and I'm hoping for some fun patterns soon! (The gator is tempting, however...)
@Sam S - most of them would be in the category of casual photographer, not professional work, and are un-credited on the store pages. The ones that credit the work on the store FB to a photographer get credited here. The other reason is that it would take too long.
@Shannon - I saw the Gator Speed Tight IVs in the store today. The tag says they are full on luxtreme on the backside and regular in the front. I put the photo in the upload post.
