Cape Red Sunset Flow and Cool Racerback tanks. Shown with the Rise and Flow Pant (tried them on and bought) and Sunshine Salutation Crop. The SS crops were nice, fit a bit snugger than the Rise and Flow pant and if you are a boyshort undewear type of person your underwear will show through the mesh at the sides. I don't think the Sunshine Salutation Crops had any pockets, either. A reader reminds me there is a slot pocket in the back of the waistband.

Rise and Flow Tank and Pant. I really liked the Rise and Flow Tank when I tried it on. I had read some reports that the bra fit small but I didn't find that at all. In fact, it's one of the looser built-in bra tops that has come out of lululemon. The bra band is adjustable and the bra shape underneath is a cross-over deep-V style so if you bend over and the neckline gapes a little in the middle (which happens to me all the time in these squarer necklines) no one will get the full show. I thought the armpits came up nice and high, too. I bought the Cape Red since that was all my store had (and I am an orange fan) but I had my store order the other two colors for me to try. The support is on the lighter side but I think it's good enough for general gym wear. I'll post some photos of the tank tomorrow when I have better lighting. I thought the fit was TTS and worked well for busty women.

I wasn't expecting to like the Rise and Flow Pant so much but the high rise waistband makes these super comfy. I haven't bought any pants with see through mesh inserts but the pattern on these is more low-key peekaboo than revealing, and the thigh pockets are opaque so the see-through mesh only goes to about mid-thigh.  If you get a chance, definitely give them a try. I bought the solid black.

My Paint Storm Espresso Multi High Times came today and the print is gorgeous in person. The material is not the newer 69 poly/31 lycra blend of full on luxtreme that is super breathable but it doesn't feel bad on. However, it did fade pretty noticeably on me. I have thicker legs so maybe your experience will be different but I ended up returning these. I would really prefer to have a pair of run crops in this print.

As far as my other recent orders, I am keeping my Fatigue Cool Racerback but decided I didn't need the Hero CRB (I already have the Exhale in Hero), returned the Gradient Yum Yum pink CRB since it was made of full on luxtreme,  returned the Pack It In Bra (I spilled out the sides and it wasn't supportive). I also decided to keep the black Lace CRB. It's super lightweight and airy. The website doesn't say the material is swim material but it kind of feels like it. (BTW, I don't know why the website has reviews from the older mesh-style lace CRB under this new version, they're not the same item at all.)

I also took my new Sweat Date tank for an eight mile run on Sunday and really liked it. It did tend to shift over one boob or the other a little but nothing too bad. The large arm openings let in a lot of nice air. I liked the tank a lot.
