Love this top!
I was pleasantly surprised with this top when I got it.The fit was really nice also compared to the basic racerback tank these ones are not see through.Very light stretchy material perfect for hot weather. I will definitely be buying more colors!

Beautiful tank, poor fit
Bought this tank for hot yoga classes, tried it on in the store and it was love at first sight. The girl in the store recommended going up in size, worst decision ever! After my first wear I washed as per instructions and laid flat to dry. Now the shirt has two pulled threads in it and it doesn't fit! It's all stretched out and looks awful. My bra shows under the arms and on the back. I am so disappointed. Worst part is I can't return it !!

Super comfy but cheap material
I love this shirt.. when I saw it in the store I thought it'd be perfect for spin/running/sculpt and all the other classes in the gym. It is perfect for all of those classes. However, I wore it to one cycle & core class and the material separated, resulting in two holes in the shirt :( the material is really, really sensitive and will pill after one wear.

Perfect for hot weather running
This tank is amazing for hot weather running. It's lightweight, dries quickly, and is easy to wear. I love, love, love it for running. But, it's not a great pick for yoga or bootcamp or other sweaty pursuits that have you bending over or upside down. It is a bit looser at the bottom than a CRB, so it will flip up if I'm bent over or upside down. For right side up use, it's perfect.

warm weather go to tank
A must for every hot weather workout. There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about the qualities of this tank...but I do want to clarify this burning yellow is regular length. Some reviewers have commented contrary but I'm 5`11" so if it's going to run short I would definitely notice and it's the same length as other swiftly tanks I have from previous years. Btw, burning yellow is a great color..not orange like I was scared of.

Best workout tank
I love this tank! I want every color! I love the breathable material and the fact there isn't a build in sports bra. I'm 5'4" and this was the perfect length for me for lifting or running, but I bet it would be great in yoga too. Very comfortable and very flattering.

Lightweight, comfy, thin
I am newer to running but have always been active (and a Lulu lover). I got this on sale in the burning yellow color; I really like it! The color is beautiful, it's lightweight, a higher neckline than the CRB but length is shorter. I am 5' 10" and it hits just below the hips. I like the stitching @ the bottom--It doesn't bubble but it keeps it where it belongs.
I wouldn't buy this in long sleeve because it is so thin; this is made for those hot days that you still gotta get out there and cover up a bit.

breathable fabric but too short
i love the fabric and how it has a mesh-ish feel when you run but this top was kinda short for me.. it did not stay put when i ran and i felt like i was pulling it down a lot. i also wore it to barre class and it was comfortable but i was still pulling on it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I own about 10 of these tanks after having bought my first one about a year ago. I don't want to wear anything else on my workouts. This tank is perfect for hot yoga and hot flow. It is very lightweight and dries quickly. The body skimming fit won't fly up over your head in an inversion. I also wear these running but I do notice it feeling clingy after 10K. I have worn them through several half marathons and aside from not very flattering finish pictures I love them.
I'm 5'3, 111lbs, 32C and bought size 4 which fits perfect. I wear them over just about any Lulu racerback bra (Energy, Free to Be, All Sport, Top Speed).

sadness ? another LLL fabric gone cheap-o
So my boyfriend and I were walking by a LLL store today, we ended up going inside, then my b-friend told me that he'd buy me an outfit! This doesn't happen every day!
So of course I was determined to find something. I've REALLY been unhappy with my LLL purchases recently, having returned most of the last six months of stuff for quality reasons, and had a VERY hard time finding something that wasn't made out of stiff and scratchy luon, crazy thin luxtreme, or which wasn't neon (sorry, just not my colour scheme). Finally I decided on this tank (in the pale teal colour) and a pair of running crops. I own two others of this style, and probably another half dozen SS and LS Swiftlys.
I thought this one felt a bit different from the others I have in the style (which are each fairly old, one even from the first run of the sleeveless about five years ago). When I got home, I compared them. My new one is quite a bit shorter, and the fabric just isn't as soft. It feels significantly thinner and more prone to snagging. Not sure how the fabric has changed (I had long torn out the tags of the other shirts) but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it. I mean, I really get a lot of use out of my SL Swiftlys and will undoubtably use this one quite a bit, too.
Lululemon is crazy. You can't open stores in a bazillion different cities and then cut corners on the product because you're banking on your brand being super trendy. It's just poor business. This whole see-through pant thing has alienated you to a lot of these folks who are newer to your brand. Meanwhile, the Canadian consumers ? who are the most loyal of any of your customers ? are still giving you a chance, even though we really don't have much reason to love you any more.
This shirt, when it first came out, was friggin' GENIUS. Now it's something I expect I'll wear three or four times and then have to return for quality issues. Hélas.
