Lululemon

I think Lulu is more of a Canadian thing. We just love our Lulu!!! If you go to any store here it is always packed, upbeat, and full of willing and helpful sales people. Most of the time you have to wait for a fitting room!

I have great luck with their yoga stuff.

I do find it fits really nice and the quality is amazing. I have several pairs of pants and crops that are over 5yrs old and still look brand new

Their "Tata Tamer" sports bra is the best thing since sliced bread, and the "Head Banger" head band is amazing under my helmet to cover my ears and it wicks.

I have spoken to several reps of the company to come out with cycling stuff. They have done a few things over the years but nothing that great in terms of riding gear.

I am also surprised many of you are not fans. Too each is own I suppose

I like some of their yoga bras b/c the bras don't hang too low and therefore doesn't interfer with my HR monitor.

Their other stuff is way overpriced. I know some of their yoga pants are supposed to make your butt look good. I find just the opposite. I found yoga style pants at Marshall's that make your butt look 1000 times better for $15 than LuLu's $100 pants that make your butt look huge.

Plus LuLu is very popular where I live. After a while all the women start to look like clones.

Yep, and you have to be at least 5' 5" for the pants to not be several inches too long.

I went in again because I lost some weight recently and figured I could finally fit in some of their clothes. Nope. I'm a solid size 12, 5'4, and nothing fits. Their sizing only goes up to size 12, which, being Canadian sizing, is a US 10. I'm sad that they don't consider us on the larger side of the sizing spectrum.

I tried on a bunch of their tank tops recently because I was looking for something to wear at the gym (for weight training, cardio). Nothing fit. Tried multiple styles in the same size, some were too small and some were too big. Tried a larger size for the ones that were too small, and then they were too big. Got annoyed and left.

Wound up buying a PI cycling tank top instead. On sale from TE!!!

Totally unrelated to the topic at hand - everytime I see the name "Lululemon" I hear it pronounced like "Oprah" was saying Liz Lemon's name on that one episode of 30 Rock.

and I'm probably the only one who knows what I'm talking about, so I'll go away now...

The ladies (and even some of the gents) that I teach are all little Lululemon clones. I'll stick with Patagonia for high end general athleticwear because it's great and doesn't have the same super-ubiquitous branding. LLL is definitely a status symbol at school no different from Uggs, Sperrys, Northface etc etc.
