The Rain for Daze jacket was uploaded to Hong Kong back in November, and I kind of liked it then but then forgot about it. It just hit the US website and stores this week and my store had all three colors. The price is on the high side at $178 but I have been looking at longer rain jackets and I ended up coming home with the Bordeaux one. I thought the Bordeaux felt slightly heavier weight than the Soft Earth one. It's on the roomy side - you could layer a hoodie under it - but I have read taller people complain that the sleeves are on the shorter side. If you have been looking for a longer rain jacket that has lots of room in the hips, take a look at this one.

I also got these new Heathered Black/Deep Coal/Boom Juice Pace Rival Crops. I haven't seen these on any of the foreign sites yet. I wonder if this means Boom Juice will be coming back.

The color is slightly different than the new Heathered Black Speed Crops. I like that the Pace Rival crop stitching blends in with the fabric. The other nice thing about these Pace Rivals is that the fabric at the top of the pocket is the same color as the pants. Lululemon has been making it a contrasting color in a lot of the newer crops, which I don't love.

I also tried on a bunch of the new Static Mist Swiftly tanks. These are thicker and have a little less stretch than non-patterned swiftlys. This is Duck Sauce, on the left, compared to Pizazz.

The "model" photos from the store make the rain jacket look SO much cuter. It looks extremely shapeless on the Lulu model photo shots. Seems to me they'd make sure the models were wearing their correct size to make the clothes look as nice as possible! I like this jacket, perfect for So Cal misty-ness that we get the better part of spring time in the mornings (and June Gloom) but I can't swallow $178 for something that isn't waterproof, only resistant.

Is the pace rival available online? Love the color

@ anon 5:40 pm - Not yet. I checked the other country sites, too, and it looks like we're the first to get them.

I totally agree LLA...the new Pace Rivals with the fabric at the top of the pocket in a contract color wrecks it for me. I won't buy it. Such a bummer. Keep it simply lulu!

I would like to see the Rain For Daze Jacket in spring colours. The Soft Earth is nice but the colour would wash me out. I like the Bordeaux the best but it's not a spring colour. LLA can you tell me if the sleeve cuffs are elasticized so they can be pushed up without ruining the shape of the cuff? Also, you mentioned it is a roomy fit, could you have sized down?

I'm hoping so too! Anybody know yet?

@luluaddict, can you let me know if sweat shows through the grey pace rivals? I've been debating getting a pair of grey pants but wouldn't want to look like i peed my pants during a workout.. Thanks!

I would love some solid inkwell Pace Rival crops. I feel like we don't get enough inkwell. Why?!
