YOGINI'S CLOSET UNFOLD - |
1. Size – I wear my regular size 4. I see lots of reviews saying it runs big. Since I didn't try the size 2 in store, I don't know if it will be a better fit. What I notice is that the Twist & Train Crop does not fit as tight (less compression) as my other Lululemon pants, but I don't think it is full size bigger either. 2. Style – Crop. 3. Inseam – 19" long, which sits around my mid calf (I am 5'2"). 4. Front Rise – 10.5" high rise. 5. Waistband – 3" wide waistband. The waistband is not as wide as the Wunder Under High Rise, but it gives sufficient support and coverage. |
6. Fabric – The body is made with 69% Nylon and 31% Lycra Elastane. There are two different meshes. One is made with 88% Nylon and 12% Elastane, while the other one is 79% Nylon and 21% Xtra Life Lycra. Although it is Full-On® Luxtreme, it feels softer and lighter weight than my other Full-On® Luxtreme leggings. With thinner fabric, it is great for summer and it's 100% opaque.
7. Design for – Training (according to the Lululemon's website), but I've been wearing it to heated yoga and tabata classes.
8. Cost – Retail price $88. I received 25% off discount from the R&D program. I love that Lululemon is giving fitness instructors 25% off now compared to previous 15% off.
9. Stitch Seam – Comfortable flat locking seams.
10. Crotch Seam – Lined triangle gusset.

Unlike Wunder Under Pants (low rise) where the hidden pocket is on the front left side waistband, the pocket is on the back of waistband for the Twist & Train Crop (same as the Revitalize Tight),
Other than high quality, superior performance, and exceptional fit of Lululemon Twist & Train Crop that I like about, the unique jaded color and lace mesh design are the reasons why I bought it. A pretty blue (jaded) color is hard to find and the lace mesh is rarely seen.
If you are looking for a unique color, beautiful mesh design, high quality and body lifting fit workout crop, you don't want to miss Lululemon Twist & Train Crop. As to the Twist & Train Bra, it is light support and designed for A/B cup women. If you are on the chesty side, this bra won't work for you. I've worn it to yoga once, and the bra was quite revealing in Marichyasana C (or any deep twisting pose). It didn't stay in place nor did it provide enough coverage. I feel the Twist & Train Bra is more for casual wear rather than any exercise with big movement. With that said, I still like the bra because it is versatile to pair with my daily outfits and comfortable enough to wear all day long.
