Lululemon Review: The Rain Is Calling Jacket II, Incognito Camo Multi Grey

by Cristina

My The Rain Is Calling Jacket II Incognito Camo Multi Grey just arrived! Happy day!

First off, I wanted to give you guys a heads up that Nordstrom is currently having a big sale (again!). This time the discounts are greater, and almost all of the items that were on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are now further reduced. They are calling it a ‘Summer Sale’ and everything is 40% off. This summer sale is actually all the ‘fall items’ from the NSALE so that’s a little strange. Anyways, if you can, repurchase your items at the lower price. If you guys didn’t participate during the NSALE maybe these prices will be more enticing to you. Read all my NSALE posts here to see what I reviewed or check out the gallery for all the fall items that are now on sale. In this post I am wearing this sweater from the sale, and these jeans

Overall Fit

I sized up in the Rain Is Calling Jacket because I primarily will wear it layered over thicker sweaters in the fall, which is what I chose here for this review. I’m really glad I sized up and I think if I had stayed TTS it would have fit, but it would have clung around my hip area. If you normally plan on wearing this for running, a snugger fit is fine since you don’t want to dress too warmly for runs, but for street wear you will probably want to size up.

Design

I was a bit hesitant on the design of the back flap since on the web photo the back flap protrudes a bit. This is a great design feature because it adds an extra layer of rain protection on your shoulders and upper back, but I don’t love the look of that on trenches or run jackets. I was really happy the back flap was much more subtle in person and laid flat. This jacket is fully waterproof and the zipper is seam sealed. The seam seal feature on the zipper makes it a bit sticky to zip up and down, but it’s a feature you will be thankful for in a downpour. 

Is It Worth It? 

Is it worth it? I think it’s been a really long time since Lululemon has put out a great jacket with prints and color options, especially in always popular camo so for that reason I’m very inclined to keep this one. It’s fully waterproof which is a bonus but I do think this is one of Lululemon’s priciest run jackets at $198.

That’s a really nice fit and very flattering! It’s a feminine cut without being too tight.

I REALLY love this jacket BUT can not bring myself to get it because of the price. If it had a jersey lining for warmth I might’ve paid the $198, but as is it’s too much. 🙁

Regarding NSale….I noticed several items I bought were further marked down. Things I haven’t even taken the tags off of yet. I spoke with customer service to ask for a
Price adjustment and they said no. I figured as much since it was over a month ago but thought I’d ask. Every year this happens and I Should learn my lesson and wait until September to shop. I don’t much feel like doing the rebuy/return thing. That’s a hassle too. Has anyone gotten their scuba pullover yet?? I ordered mine Tuesday and it just shipped out Friday. The Camo is all gone on the US side but not one review. I am anxious to hear how it fits. The rain jacket looks great on you Christina. I am tempted by it too. Last coat I bought was a floral print and I am regretting not buying a solid for everyday use. I also am Intersted in the pack it up jacket. I have the one that turns into a backpack and used it a ton on my early morning dogs walks. It was nice to be able to take it off and not have to tie it around my waist.

Every year they do do a sale after and a few things from the NSALE end up marked down (usually their store brand items) but not to the level this year has. For 90% of the items to go on further markdown 2 weeks after the end of the sale is just outrageous. Previous years they’ve graciously done price adjustments.

I received my camo scuba crew today. Mine took one extra day than usual. I am definitely keeping mine. The fit is on the slim side to give a more polished look. But if you have big hips, size up.

Now I am debating if I should get the on the fly pants in camo, which have been restocked online. I already have the boyfriend pants in camo from the warehouse sale a few years ago. I also bought Sweety Betty’s 7/8 power legging in camo. I feel a bit camo overload right now.

WRT to the further markdowns from the NSale, most of the items that I bought went up in price. As Christina said, some of the store brand items were further marked down. I don’t love them enough to keep them so I brought them back with tags still on. I will only buy name brands in the NSale from now on – lesson learned.

If you like Camo….there is a cute madewell tee with a bunny hidden in the Camo. So cute. I bought a Vince sweater at NSale and that is %40 off. It didn’t look like to many of the Vince sweaters sold or this year. There were a lot of them. Glad to hear you liked your scuba crew. Thank for the scoop

Hey Cristina, I am very curious about the lining of this rain is calling jacket – is it the white plasticky stuff throughout the inside (i.e., no lining)? I want it for sure if it’s comfy, but if it’s plasticky and sweaty-gross over a tank or SS swiftly when running then I’m not sure. I would love your thoughts (and just a general description) of the inside of the jacket…. online they don’t provide much info. Thanks so much!
p.s. ill go check all the items i ordered from NAS – thanks for the tip 🙂

It is woven plasticy not a knit, so it will trap heat and feel a bit clammy and gross with sweat. I find that with all water proof, seam sealed jackets that don’t have the knit jersey lining.

cool thanks. yes i agree it is common with these kind of jackets. i get so hot when i run in the rain so i tend to wear a tank and SS underneath the jacket. ill stick with the rise and shine for now – i appreciate your response! 🙂

I think you made the right decision sizing up and the picture of the jacket zipped up looks like it fits you perfectly. I do wonder about the sleeves if you find them too long? For me I don’t consider this a run jacket as glyde without lining is horrible once you start sweating unless you are wearing long sleeves. As Cristina said it feels clammy against your skin as the jacket traps heat. I prefer a swiftly fabric with lining for a running jacket but it’s been ages since lulu has made a good one. I think this jacket is great for casual wear and it’s nice to see them bringing interesting colours back to their jackets. I think this jacket is one of their better designs I have seen in a while but for me it still lacks in detail from what I expect from LLL especially for the price.

As for the camo Scuba pullover I did try it on in store but then ordered it online and it should arrive today. I normally would have received it last Friday but they were behind on this order for some reason. The fit for me is tts and is a more narrow fit but I didn’t find it restrictive at all. I am looking forward to wearing it.
