I've been exercising outside a lot this year, and as the temperature is warming up, I am starting to switch up my gear. When I go running or hiking outside, I need lightweight, breathable fabrics, otherwise it just isn't going to work. That's why I love the gear at Lululemon. It's so comfortable and easy to move in, whether I'm running sprints or tackling a steep incline.
I'm loving this supportive sports bra, easy tank, and lightweight windbreaker that makes for an essential outer layer. Plus, the buttery soft leggings with pockets are practically essentials for me. Keep on reading to shop my picks, and don't forget your sunscreen!
