I went out early this morning to check out the markdowns in my stores today (same as on line with regard to selection and pricing) and ended up coming home with these - the Strap It Like It's Hot Bra and Tank. I was not expecting to buy these. I tried on the bra and was pleasantly surprised to find it nicely supportive and up-lifting, and then went back and grabbed the tank. I thought they were the same print until I laid them out to take these photos and noticed they're slightly different - the tank has some blue in the print. The print on the bra is called the Mini Blooming Pixie Raspberry Multi and the tank print is called Blooming Pixie Multi. They're both made out of luxtreme. The tank is on the roomier side, for a luxtreme tank, through the mid-section. The fit and support of the bra is similar to the Bound Bra/Water Bound Bra but with more coverage.
The bra band in the tank uses a substantial piece of elastic for support.
The bra has reflectivity in it. The tank does not.
I'm excited to put these to use in the gym. God knows I've needed something to motivate me.
I also tried on the Raspberry 5 Mile LS. I ordered this last night off the website. I liked this a lot. It's nicely long and has a flattering fit. The watch slit is only on the left wrist and stays closed when you don't actively open it to look at your watch.

I also tried on the strap it bra and the 5 mile LS at the store today. I thought the bra was on the tight side but it did feel quite supportive. The 5 mile was great. I bought it in the raspberry. I think it's a 4 season item in that color.
Hi, LLA!
Thank you for posting this! Much appreciated <3
I ordered the Strap It Like It's Hot Bra (black) and Strap It Like It's Hot Tank (black and blooming pixie multi/black).
Now, after seeing the bra in mini blooming pixie raspberry multi/black in this post, I am going to order this one too. It is something I personally really like, despite all the negativity some of the recent items are getting from others.
Again, thank you, LLA!
Happy holidays and may you have a wonderful remaining 2015! :)
I found the sale pricing to be better in the store than online. The 1/4 zips were $49 in the store and $69 online.
@ anon 7:57 pm - that was not the case in my local stores. Though, I might visit the stores a couple of times over the holiday period to see if they drop further.
@ ilovemytoothbrush - thank you!
@ anon 6:42 pm - I could use that top 4 seasons no doubt.
The down pullovers were $99, wild tank was $29, beauty kit was $34. These prices were in the store in Cincinnati, oh.
Sorry, it was actually $24 for the wild tank!
Are the cashmere sweaters available canada yet?
Glad I didn't order the 5 mile LS. I'm left handed so Garmin is on my right wrist. Does me no good when the slit is on the left side!
I'm surprised they didn't account for that.
I'm left handed, too ... super huge bummer they didn't go ahead and put the slit on both sides ... I'm annoyed... I was excited for that feature in swiftly long sleeves
Pardon me for not understanding since I'm of the majority right handers but why not just switch watch arms while you run? It's not like you would have to wear it like that all day. Sure it's not ideal but why is it a deal breaker?
I love my raspberry 5 mile LS. Slit is more for watches than fitbit, but it works for my fitbit charge hr too! My store had the peacock color but I found it a bit too transparent.
Very helpful info!
