About Lululemon - Top: Lululemon Front Closure Bra, Grey Leopard, Size 4 (true to size) Bottom: Lululemon Revitalize Tight, Black, Size 4 (true to size) Lululemon, a Vancouver based athleisure company, was once the leading activewear brand. With many strong competitors in the market, such as Athleta, Nike and Under Armour, can Lululemon continue beating its competitors? Maybe. Maybe not. In fact, Lululemon stock crashed 21% on March 30th after the company reported earnings with a "slow start" in 2017. Few years ago, I was a Lululemon exclusive shopper. Today, I've expanded my closet to various brands. I do find a lot of athleisures delivery similar if not better quality as Lululemon in addition to wide selection of styles and patterns. For example, Niyama Sol and Liquido both offer high quality performance yoga pants. With that said, I still shop at Lululemon every now and then. Instead of making impulse buy at Lululemon, like I used to, I only purchase something that really catches my eye. YOGINI'S CLOSET UNFOLD - |
 | 1. Size – I wear size 4, my regular size. 2. Style – 7/8 length legging. The tight is supposed to sit at the bottom of the calf. Since I am only 5'2", it fits me like a full length legging. For that reason, it is loose on my ankle. 3. Inseam – 25" long, my ankle length. 4. Front Rise – 10.75" high rise. 5. Waistband – 4" wide waistband. In comparison to Wunder Under High Rise (10.5" front rise & 5.5" wide waistband), the Revitalize Tight has a narrower waistband and it does not stay put on my waist as I move, even though both have comparable front rise. |
| 6. Fabric – 69% Nylon and 31% Lycra Elastane. The mesh is soft and not irritative to the skin. I had a pair of old Lululemon Tech Mesh in Black that I've sold on eBay because the mesh fabric and excessive seams made it uncomfortable to wear. 7. Design for – Run (according to the Lululemon's website). However, I think this tight can be worn to heated and non-heated yoga, bike ride as well as any high sweat workout. 8. Cost – Retail price $98. Because I am in the R&D Program, I got 15% discount. 9. Stitch Seam – Comfortable flat locking seams. I can't even feel extra seams on the tight. 10. Crotch Seam – Lined triangle gusset. |  |
There is a waistband pocket that can fit a iPhone 6 and couple credit cards.

When Lululemon designs good leggings (I've tried some that were disappointed in the past), they are magnificent. After trying so many leggings and yoga pants from different brands, I've not found one that fits and holds the body as well as Lululemon, which is the reason why I still shop at Lululemon.
The Revitalize Tight is the first mesh legging I like. The Full-On® Luxtreme is sweat wicking and four-way stretch with a cool and smooth feel; while the mesh fabric provides good ventilation. The tight keeps me cool in bike ride and HIIT workout. It also makes dynamic movements easy in yoga. I even wear it to work pairing with a long shirt and slip on sneaker. "Full-On® Luxtreme + Mesh Fabric = Perfect Revitalize Tight." It's indeed a comfortable, stylish and high performance tight.
