The Cyber boom juice alarming CRB is cute! I've been wearing looser tops lately even though CRBs used to be my go-to's...but this one is cute! Really want the All the right places crop to come in hero Blue...where are u?? :)
That vest makes me think of my Run Like the Wind vest that I've had for years and bought on super discount (I think it was $20). I always laugh when I wear it cause it rips right up to the top of the hood so it's great when you want to look like Kenny from South Park.
Ooh love the new 5 mile! Chalk is a good neutral. Hey, question for anyone out there. Is white luon difficult to care for? I'm contemplating a white define jacket but I'm worried it will look dingy really fast, and show sweat stains (or any stains) quickly. Do people bleach their white luon pieces? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I tried the Rain on Train pullover, it was very much on the tight side. Also had some odd details so I left it in the store. Excited about the blue 5 mile. I should get my boom juice 5 mile sometime this week.
I love my 5 mile LS and I am definitely getting another. I had a problem with the hem at the watch slit unraveling so now I ask the store's hemming service to pro actively reinforce the watch slit. I have used my go the distance vest like once a week since it came out. I love that vest so I may try out the 5 mile one if it comes out in a non black color. I may get more use out of that than the think fast pullover, though I love the pullover color and cut.
Wondering how much the Rain on Train on pullover will be. I tried to figure it out based on how much the one Hong Kong got is but the conversion had it at a higher price than the jacket :(
anon@2:35pm...on the topic of white luon, imho, yes, it does get dingy and pills over time. Like my other white jackets, when worn a lot, I say replace after two years. Yes, I do use bleach when I feel my white luon is in desperate need...sadly, white synthetic fabrics seem to take on that dingy look after a number of washings. I've found the bleach helps, but not as much as it does on cotton fabrics. I was thinking about replacing my white one with the new space-dye camo while/silver spoon...will not show the dirt as much. But there's nothing like a nice, clean white jacket.
Use Oxy-Clean in your wash water when washing whites or pre-soak before washing and that will help it keep from getting dingy. Also Mrs. Stewarts Liquid Bluing is great to add to your wash water for whites on a regular basis. Both of those are much more gentle than bleach - bleach actually breaks down and destroys the fabric and weakens it. I have a white flow Y and energy bra that are 3+ years old, worn and washed all the time and they are as white as a new one in the store - no bleach was ever used - just the above 2 items on them periodically
I love my 5 mile although in that color it may be too see thru for my preference. I hope lulu stocks a lot of colors in this. This is one of the few hits lately.
Do the train in the rain pants have water repellent material all around or is it just the front? I think it's sill that they just put the repellent on the front of the pants.

Give me all the 5 mile colors. I love my slate 5 mile so much.

I'm liking Haethered Chalk , wish Love Tee would come in it.
@Beth - I know. I love mine.

@Beth - thanks for the fit info. It will make it easier for me not to order it.

I don't find any of this exciting or appealing :(

Yea according to the HK site it will be 128. Hope that isn't the case.
