So Is it 800-Fill-Power? Or 650-Fill-Power?? What The Fluff Indeed!

by Cristina November 20, 2012
written by Cristina

Lululemon can’t seem to give us a straight answer on the key features of their down What The Fluff line and wether the products are 800 Fill like they are claiming or 650 Fill as suspected. Read here to see what the Competition Bureau of Canada says about misleading advertising and labeling  in case you were curious about that.  Several weeks ago when I purchased the Run: Turn Around Jacket which had a hang tag that claimed it was 800 Fill, the website said it was 650 Fill. I phoned the GEC to confirm what the Fill count actually is (last years version offered at the same price is 650 Fill). GEC emailed me the following day as the details where not readily at hand for the people staffing the customer service lines. The ‘Product Gurus’ had looked into my question and verified that the Run Turn Around Jacket is in fact mislabeled and the item is 650 Fill. Lululemon has decided to keep the 800 Fill Count tags on the Turn Around Jackets and they are now claiming it is in fact 800 Fill. So what we know is that we can’t know what the actual fill count is of these items as they are not labeled with garment tags specifying the down details, and Lululemon has zero interest in clarifying the actual fill count of these items for us since it is to their benefit that we believe the fill count is 800 Fill.

WTF Upload!

by Cristina November 20, 2012
written by Cristina

Wow, another seriously lame upload. What the fluff is going on with their holiday season lineup? It has been sparse for the past 3 weeks. Not even a little impulse purchase item to tempt me. Any of you order  the What The Fluff Matador Run Hat? All I want right now are those Ebb and Flow Crops we glimpsed a few weeks ago (currently in Australia) some nice CRB, a wrap or something. Come on!

Monday Product Drop

by Cristina November 19, 2012
written by Cristina

Stopped in at my store today but they hardly had anything new today since they got an early product drop of the What The Fluff Line. I’m hoping thats not all that gets uploaded because so far, 20 days into November and it’s been a bust for me. This is very unusual for the holiday season and I’m really surprised at how much stuff they are lacking in the lineup this year compared with last years. No fleece, no knit or cotton french terry wraps, no thin cotton hoodies. I really want something with the laceoflage print, and I want those damn Ebb and Flows. 

Cool Racerback Tank Striped Ribbed

I wonder if these are also sparkled. They don’t seem to be listing items as sparkle when they are. 

Run: Toasty Tech Tight

Vinyasa Scarf coming in Beaming Blue/Polar Cream

Interested in this possibly. 

This is beaming blue currently in the mens line

Review: What The Fluff Line (Pullover, Vest and Jacket) Laceoflage Free To Be Tankww

by Cristina November 15, 2012
written by Cristina

It’s been a loooong time since my last fit review and I finally felled compelled to get out there and try some things on. The What The Fluff Line as well as this gorgeous new print, Laceoflage in the Free to Be Tank. The Tank itself doesn’t call to me since it’s not as forgiving as a CRB for me to workout in (although it wasn’t as fitted as I expected it to be). The print is GORGEOUS!!! It’s a saturated inky print on a nice cream base. I want all the things in this print!


Free To Be Tank Laceoflage

 What the Fluff Jacket – $248 

This jacket is pretty cute and warm (800 Fill apparently)  but it’s darn pricey. If the Run: Turn Around Jacket is also 800 Fill (according to GEC’s 3rd revision) then that seams like a greater deal at just under $200. Sure this jacket has the added features of the inner fleece bib, and stowable apron in the back and hood but if you can live without those features the I’d go with the Run Turn Around. The cuffs felt slightly snug on this jacket. This is my TTS size 10 and it fit well. If you liked the Run: Bundle Up Jacket but felt it fit you too snug and ‘weird’ as I’ve heard some comment, you may like this one. It’s similarly styled with the hood, bib and collar so it has that same look. Much warmer too. I overall liked the What The Fluff Line today but prefer my Run: Turn Around Jacket I got recently more than these items and I didn’t feel the lust to add any of these items to my wishlist. Although I do admire the pullover quite a bit. 

The apron at the back which can get stowed completely covers my rear. 

the inside snaps where you bundle up the bustle. 

Run: What The Fluff Pullover $198

I really liked the look of this pullover, especially the neckline. I also really liked that it fit longer than last years which felt a touch short for my long torso. I wasn’t in love with the Clarity Yellow colorway in person (although I do like that color in certain items). You can see the feathers thru which is fine for me in colors like white/ivory but in yellow it gave it a weird tinge. The fit was slightly snug, especially in the arms and cuffs and hips so if I was going to wear anything thicker than a Swiftly LS I would want to try the size up. Bigger busts definitely size up. I definitely would prefer this in a slightly slouchier around the middle look so in another color and a size up I probably would have felt it pulling at my heartstrings a little more.

Run: What The Fluff Vest – $158

This was a really snug fit compared with the other items. I tried on my size 10 and on the correct side (Limitless blue out) it was all smooshed down everywhere and pulling. I would definitely size up to a 12 in this one. If you have C cup or larger size up! Keep in mind I had a thin cotton french terry sweater on underneath (not so with the other items) but still, a RULU pullover is approximately the same weight as this sweater and in winter I will always have something this weight underneath.  I liked that its reversible and it has a magnet at the very top to keep the neckline from flopping around. When I wore the Polar Cream side out it looked much less smooshed all around due to the quilting but I still felt like I needed a size up.

OT: Review of Sparkly Soul Headbands and Contest

by Cristina November 15, 2012
written by Cristina

The lovely folks at Sparkly Soul sent me a couple of their headbands to try out for you guys several weeks ago and I’ve been wearing them religiously to Crossfit ever since. Nothing like a sparkling blingy headband for a 6am WOD to wake everyone up! I love these things! They are made of a really plush velvet with sparkle on the outside and velvet on the inside. I’ve found I can wear the sparkly side out or reverse the headband and wear the velvet side out. The sparkle side still has a velvety feel to it so it still grips your head without pulling at your hair. They stay on my head for the entire workout without needing adjustments or fussing. I have a pretty narrow head so I have issues with headbands flying off, migrating back and just overall not feeling firm enough on my head. These ones feel firm on my head without feeling tight. They come in two sizes 3/8 inch and 5/8 inch. I liked both sizes and couldn’t decide which one I liked better. My favorite ones are the black which came in the thicker band and the dark grey which came in the thin. To wash them you just rinse them in cold water and hang to dry.

Sparkly Soul would also like to offer a lucky reader one thin and one wide headband. To win you have to follow me on twitter @lulumumblog and follow @sparklysoulinc, and leave a comment here letting me know what sport you’d like to wear your headband to. If you aren’t on twitter, no bother, just follow me on facebook (link on blog sidebar). Make sure to leave me with a way to contact you. Contest closes November 22, 2013. Make sure to enter, these things are awesome!

Excuse my weird picture, these are the 4 colors I got.
