The Runsie additionally has pockets all the best way across the waistband, with loads of storage for a cellphone, snacks, a delicate flask, and even a rolled-up additional layer. However my favourite function is the shorts, that are cut up within the entrance for mobility and protection. (In different phrases, whenever you take a step ahead and open the cut up, your higher thigh is uncovered—moderately than your butt, as is the case with most cut up shorts.)
I sometimes don’t run in cut up shorts as a result of they have an inclination to journey up, and these have been no totally different. However I used to be impressed at how minimally they crept up all through my run, and that they didn’t chafe. In contrast to different shorts that I’m consistently having to tug out of my crotch, these didn’t hassle me (though they did expose just about my total higher thigh.)
And if a one-piece conjures nightmares of wrestling along with your outfit in a cramped toilet stall, haven’t any concern: The Runsie is fast and straightforward to tug on and off throughout a pit cease.

The Go Additional Bra
The Go Additional Bra is billed as a high-impact, maximum-support bra for these with C or D cup sizes. The thought is that these bras are sometimes so compressive and uncomfortable that you simply need to rip them off as quickly as you’re executed working—however now, based on Lululemon, consolation and efficiency don’t really must be at odds.
The Go Additional Bra seeks to realize this stability with some proprietary know-how that sounds cool, however stays considerably mysterious. Lululemon says the bra has “motion-activated assist” that kicks in whenever you’re transferring and relaxes whenever you’re hanging out post-run. I did discover that once I first put the bra on, it felt tremendous snug in a manner that made me doubt its credentials as a maximum-support bra. However on the run, it was surprisingly supportive, particularly contemplating it’s by no means compressive. Like with the Runsie, I’d be curious to listen to suggestions from runners with bigger chests than me, however personally I discovered it to be a lot supportive sufficient.
The bra’s cloth is mild and silky—I doubt it’s even able to chafing. One factor to notice: It was absolutely saturated with sweat after my extremely popular and humid runs (although, to be honest, I believe any bra would have been).

The Excessive-Rise Race Tight is probably the most related piece to Lululemon’s present choices, with one main improve: It has tons of pockets. There are pockets throughout the waistband, plus a pocket on every leg.
The tights are produced from Lululemon’s Nulux cloth, which is delicate, cool, and breathable, and I doubt would ever chafe. They don’t have any seams on the within of the legs, making them additional chafe-proof, or an inner drawstring—as an alternative, there’s velvet flocking on the within for some additional grip. I didn’t expertise any sagging or slippage on my runs, however I’m wondering if I’ll begin wishing for a drawcord after some wears and washes.
