Some detail photos showing the Hot Like Agni crops. I was dying to see what the mesh fabric used in the crops was and stopped at the store last week. It turned out to be a special knit of luxtreme. The material is very lightweight but it felt delicate to me. If you get these, treat them very gently.
The Hot Like Agni crops turned inside out to show the Cool Max liner.

These didn't come in my size so I didn't bother to try them on. I liked the material but my hunch is it's too delicate for bottoms, though I'd wouldn't mind a tank made out of it since it's so light and airy.
I really liked the Hot Like Agni Singlet and ended up getting it in this Aurora color. I am a fan of silverescent material since it's so light and airy. The only drawback is that it really darkens with perspiration. The tank fits very roomy TTS and came down below my crotch when it's untied (I'm 5'5"). I think this will be a nice tank for summer running.
I wasn't a fan of the Back to It Crew. The material is soft and warm but the cut is short and boxy. If you're looking for something to cuddle up on the couch for a Netflix session this is it but it's not a flattering look at all.
I tried on the new Gear Up Crops. It's a decent short crop style and the Score Jacquard Hero/Black material is a textured luxtreme. The mesh used is the more robust but not super soft shown above. I am not a big fan of the waistband pocket set up but these aren't bad crops. I thought the fit was TTS.
Teeny Check Fast and Free Tights. These were rather sheer on me in a bend. I'd recommend nude underwear under them.

Thank you for your detailed review, LLA. I too am very curious about these items in particular and reading your post was very helpful. I'm going to give the Fast and Free Tights a try.
$98 for a Hanes sweatshirt, hehe!
I just got the hot like Angi crops. I think I might love them. Yes they are delicate and I would likely only use for hot yoga but I think they are flattering on. More than I thought they would be. They are also less see thru than I expected. I mean they are mesh but not a lot of skin showing through and i have big hips and thighs.
After 8 years of Lulu love this company has totally lost me. I can't relate to any of the items they put out. I'm a distance runner that fell in love with Lulu because of their functional yet feminine gear. My run group used to say "ruffles make us run fast!" HA! As I started incorporating yoga I was able to take in store classes (long gone) and try on new gear that I could use in and out of the studio. Nothing is appealing anymore. Literally nothing.
Was in store this morning and there was not one thing of interest to me to try on. I agree about the Back To It Crew being short and boxy but I didn't find it all that soft and for $108. in Canada it is too expensive for a just so-so sweatshirt.
