First Mile Jacket. It's $228 in the US and $248 in Canada. It's a thick tech fleece with a glyde layer on top.
Heathered Brave Olive Rush Hour Half Zip. I really like this. I love my Chilled Grape Rush Hour Half Zip.
First Mile Tech Tights
Brave Olive/Black Define. This looks like textured luon and is super pretty.
New Pace Rivals - finally! - but blech on the print choices.

The Rush Hour half zip is BORING - where are the details???? I have an OLD half zip that has little ruffles, ruching, a zipper pull with the LLL logo emergency hair tie and a nice zipper garage. Boring, cheap looking LLL garbage. So sad.....so sad.
Any word on the fit for the First Mile jackets? True to size, or size up?
@ anon 2:25 pm - If you like understated tops the Rush Hour is a nice one. The rulu on the chilled grape is thick and soft. I like a little embellishment and the Energy Half Zip and Face the Frost are ideal half zips, imo. I know a lot of people liked when they went overboard with contrast panels, ruffles, ruching, decorative stitching but too often it was way too much. Also, half zips don't come with zipper ties because you don't want those bouncing in your face as you run.
I agree with you LLA, too much detailing is overkill. It looks gypsy imo . I personally prefer understated clothing.
Weird... because I have only heard comments on the Rulu this year being much thinner... haven't seen this year's personally, but can believe it, as it has been getting a little thinner each year last couple of years...
I miss a lot of the details they used to have and now don't... however, having said that, I do like having the plainer ones as an option as well... I like both and would love to see a better balance of both as options. I do believe they are doing away with all the fancy details as a cost cutting measure and not because it's (plainer styles) what the majority of customers want and that is disgusting considering they have majorly jacked up the prices while cutting down on the details.
Also, forgot to mention - NOT a fan of the boxier styles at all... very much prefer more flattering fitted styles.
@ anon 7:21 pm - I wasn't that impressed with the feel of the black rulu in the Rush Hour Half Zip and the spray jacquard version isn't even rulu imo but the Chilled Grape rulu is very nice in that top. Thin rulu is a big reason I never bought rulu half zips under Day's reign. When it comes to the Ready to Rulu pant the version I liked the best was the heathered navy - that felt the thickest and softest to me. I don't know how the new colors feel, though.
Would Rulu be warmer than the swiftly long sleeves? I would like a very simple long sleeve rulu base layer, maybe with thumb holes if the sleeves are long enough, to wear to work. It gets really cold at indoor tennis courts in the winter.
@Grateful - yes, the rulu will be warmer than the swiftly. I also think the Rest Less Pullovers/tops are on par with rulu for warmth, if you want a different look.
I'd put coldest to warmest in this order: mesh ls, UPF LS, Swiftly LS, seriously light luon LS, luxtreme LS, rulu ls/rest less ls, brushed luxtreme, tech fleece, sherpa fleece. Brushed luxtreme and tech fleece are the most wind resistant.
