love the style, poorly constructed
I loved this jacket in the store, and just received it as a Christmas gift. The jacket i received however, is not constructed properly. The left arm of the jacket twists in such a way that the thumb-hole is no longer in the right spot. Because it was not constructed correctly, the twisting of the fabric restricts movement of the arm, rendering it quite uncomfortable. I would expect a jacket of this cost to in the least be made correctly. The right arm of the jacket has no issues. This is disappointing because having gotten it for Christmas, it was ordered months ago. At this point i'm not certain i'll be able to exchange it much less return it.

just dont get this one - disappointing
love lulu stuff, just got a the new cuddle up, got also the scuba, love them both!
this one, i just don't get! i'll start with the pros: the fabric, details, and over all material, as always with lulu stuff.
i read the reviews about being tight in the upper body, so i got the sz 4 ghost (i'm sz 2 or 4 in lulu). Thanks, it was a wise decision, it sit perfectly on the upper body, very nice, waistline good as well. then we get to the lower part, its flair, not complementing at all, its puffy, it not sitting like the upper part, not covering over and not sitting on any reasonable line, and its flair and don't have any elastic band to tighten it, really looks like a miscalculation, is it?
the worse part comes now, i sent it international, payed 30$ shipping, (over the the list price), payed another 100$ to fed ex for both handing it when it arrived here, and tax...
so now i cannot return it, if i could, i would defiantly!

Ah-Maze-Ing!
I absolutely love this jacket, its fits perfect, the reflective detail is unbelievable, such a great wind breaker,and it keeps you so so warm. I ran 10 miles in it today and it poured the last 5 miles. Its not completely water proof but it kept the majority of the rain off me, and kept me toasty warm. I would love lulu to make a jacket just like this but water proof. The fit is awesome, a little longer than most of their jackets and cut in a "U" shape at the bottom(would love to see more products with this cut) keeping me covered and keeping the jacket from riding up. I am a hardcore lulu fan, but this jacket is by far my favorite lulu product. I am 5'7 and 135lbs and a size 8 is perfect, not too loose not to tight. Thanks lulu for another great jacket!

Loved the jacket--but disappointed in the fit
Love the color! Love the fabric! Love the fit....until I turned around and there was this big poof in the lower back area.
I'm not sure what kind of design feature that is.

Great for Fall runs
I purchased this jacket last Fall and I've loved it. I got it in lulu purple. I love the color and I love the functionality. It keeps the wind and rain off but because of the vents I don't overheat. Having the hood is great for light rain or windy mornings. I understand how some reviewers could have an issue with the fit, especially if you have a larger chest, but it hasn't been a problem for me. Its super cute and flattering.

Cute but not the best fit
I love the aesthetics of this jacket! I wear between an 8 and a 12 in tops at Lululemon depending on the fit. I got a ten in this jacket which is very tight on the bust but fits well everywhere else. In hindsight, I should have got a 12

Best Fall Running Jacket
I wore this jacket to race in a half-marathon and I've got to say it is fantastic! There are enough pockets to hold my ID, car keys, gels, kleenex, etc. and because my earbud cord is tucked neatly inside the jacket, I didn't have to run with it trailing behind my back.
I usually take a 6-8 in jackets and since the shoulders were a bit snug in the 6, I opted for the 8. This was a wise choice as I've got lots of room for layers (which is a must for winter running in Canada).
The only thing I didn't like was the bulk in the collar with the hood inside. After running for awhile, I like to open up my jacket a bit and I couldn't do this well with the bulky collar. It either wouldn't fold down or the front would flap up into my face while running. I would suggest losing the hood or adding a snap to hold the collar down when open.

finally - my jacket!
Where do I begin?? The offset zipper, long arms/thumb holes, pockets, reflective stripes...I wanted this jacket last year and missed the boat - I'm SO glad you brought it back!
The only thing I'd love to change is the fit - my shoulders/ribcage are a little snug in this compared to the bottom of the jacket, which almost seems to flare out a little at the bottom. However, the jacket never rides up and I'm guessing it has to do with the roomier fit at the bottom. In any case, I normally wear a 10 in all lululemon jackets and this was no exception for me.

Very Deceptive
When I tried it on at the store, it was fantastic! Once I put it into use, the flaws came out quickly. The jacket rides up during a run/walk and I'm constantly having to readjust it. Also, I should have purchased the coat in black because it marks up easily from bags, chairs, streetcar poles, purses -- you name it. Such a gorgeous white colour, though....

Love, but....
I really love this jacket, but it's too snug I feel like. I'm not a runner, so I think I'll be fine. I only do Hot Yoga, I'm 5.2, 125 lbs. and I got a 4, I like the length of the arms and it sits right on my hips. I wish I would have gotten a size 6, but there wasn't anymore so I just went with my regular size which is a 4. That being said, I feel like I need to loose weight, so now I feel inspired to loose a couple pounds so the jacket can fit me less snug around the chest area! lol
