In a dream world, I'd have the means to shop lululemon's new arrivals section on the regular. But the reality is that the activewear brand's gear is an investment — albeit a great one, in my opinion. For that reason, I try to hold myself to buying a few pieces a year as I see a need for them (although admittedly, I do find a few occasions to treat myself). This past year, I purchased a pair of running leggings for the NYC Marathon, but I also couldn't resist getting my hands on the TikTok-famous belt bag to see what the hype is all about. (Spoiler alert: it's worth it.) As much as I adore these items, I think it's safe to say that my lululemon jacket is my favorite piece of all. If you're browsing lululemon jackets yourself, read on to find out more about all the best styles, and what to look out for while you shop.

Although you have plenty of options to choose from, your new favorite jacket might end up being a bit of a financial commitment. To make the decision easier and help you find a jacket you'll love (and wear for years to come), we put together a comprehensive guide of the top-selling lululemon jackets. This includes many of the brand's tried-and-true bestsellers, like the iconic lululemon Define jacket, along with newer styles like the lululemon Down For It All jacket. Ahead, learn more about our favorite lululemon jackets — based on personal experience and reviews — and find out what makes each one unique. But first, here's some basic info about some of the brand's signature fabrics.

What to Know About lululemon's Fabrics

A lululemon rep notes that lululemon jackets feature so many propriety fabrics and technologies, it's "impossible to quantify" how many of them there are. A few you should know about to help inform your purchase include Luon, Glyde, and Ripstop.

Luon

Luon is a super stretchy, buttery soft fabric — a favorite amongst lululemon enthusiasts because it feels virtually weightless. Made from 86 percent nylon and 14 percent Lycra, it's arguably the brand's most popular fabric, designed for low-impact exercise and everyday wear.

Glyde

Another important fabric to know about is called "Glyde," a water-repelling material used in several of the brand's most popular winter running jackets. It's engineered with three layers to keep you dry and coated in DWR (a durable water-repellent) coating, which you'll be grateful for when it starts snowing during your run.

Ripstop

We'll leave you with one last fabric you probably haven't heard of before: Ripstop. This abrasion-resistant fabric is traditionally used to make men's shorts, but we also spotted it in one of our fave new jackets of the moment. It's lightweight, and equal parts sporty and chic.

Are lululemon Jackets Worth the Money?

Whether or not lululemon jackets are worth the money is a matter of personal opinion. The final verdict is up to your own budget, wardrobe, and workout routine. IMO, I believe that lululemon jackets are worth the money, but keep in mind that I also frequently wear activewear instead of "real" clothes, and I'll take quality over quantity any day. But those aren't the only reasons I love them. Despite wearing my lululemon jackets super often, they look as good as the day I bought them (no pilling, stretching, etc.). To be clear, I don't think it would be wise to blow your month's rent on a brand new collection of lululemon jackets, but purchasing one — with the help of our shopping recs — is more than likely an investment you won't regret.

Whether you're looking for lululemon jackets for running, hiking, yoga class, or just running errands, I've got you covered. Keep reading to shop the best lululemon jackets in 2024.

Most Popular Jacket: Define Luon

Most Popular Jacket: Define Luon

lululemon Define Jacket Luon in Black ($118)

If you love engaging with fitness content on TikTok, you're most likely familiar with the lululemon Define Jacket, the brand's most popular jacket style. It's made from lululemon's Luon fabric, a cottony-soft, sweat-wicking material with lots of supportive stretch. Shoppers love wearing it casually for everyday use and low-impact activities like yoga.
What Reviewers Say: This jacket has over 3,500 five-star reviews from shoppers who love the silhouette. One shopper wrote: "I'm so in love with this jacket. It flatters every part of me, from my chest to my waist. I feel so confident!"
Why We Love It: We love the way this streamlined silhouette hugs your body in an ultra-flattering way. On TikTok, content creators have even dubbed it the lululemon "BBL jacket," implying it gives you curves.
What's Worth Noting: If you don't want the jacket to fit snugly, you might want to consider going up a size. If you prefer the lululemon cropped define jacket, that's also an option.

Best Hooded Jacket: Define Nulu
lululemon

Best Hooded Jacket: Define Nulu

lululemon Define Hooded Jacket
Nulu in Vitapink
($128)

The Define Nulu has that similar slim silhouette, but with an additional hood to keep you protected from the elements. Instead of the cotton-soft Luon material, it also uses lululemon's "Nulu" fabric, which is even more buttery. This is the jacket for anyone seeking a truly weightless feel (although rest assured, it's still sweat-wicking).
What Reviewers Say: Shoppers love the flattering fit and pocket placement, although a few mention they wish there was a wider range of sizes. "Looks great — the material is super stretchy, form fitting, and soft. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a define jacket because of the hood," one reviewer wrote.
Why We Love It: This is definitely the most elevated hoodie we've ever seen. We love that you can throw this on over your gym 'fit and suddenly feel a million times cuter.
What's Worth Noting: Certain sizes and colorways tend to sell out fast. If you have your eye on any particular jacket, it's good to snag it while you can.
Additional Details: Sizes: 0-14 | Colorways: 6

Best Casual Jacket: Scuba Full-Zip

Best Casual Jacket: Scuba Full-Zip

lululemon Scuba Full-Zip Hoodie in Lilac Ether ($118)

The Scuba Full-Zip Hoodie is as perfect for errands as it is for throwing on post-workout. It's crafted from cotton-blend fleece fabric that's thick and durable without feeling bulky. I purchased one a few years ago and reach for it frequently when I need something heavier than my Align Jacket.
What Reviewers Say: Shoppers agree that it's great for year-round wear. "The Scuba Hoodie is my favorite!" writes one reviewer. "The fit is flattering at just below my hip and I love the longer sleeves and hood, and the buttery soft, cozy fabric. Please bring out more colors and keep this timeless wardrobe staple in production. Sizing seems to sell out so quickly . . . we want more please!"
Why We Love It: Not to sound like a broken record, but I'm always grabbing this jacket from the coat closet before I head out the door. I'd bring it to the movies just as fast as I'd throw it on for an OrangeTheory workout — it;s versatile like that.
What's Worth Noting: Some reviewers say they wish the Scuba Full-Zip Hoodie had more stretch. If you'd prefer that as well, I recommend the aforementioned Define Jacket. Oh, and one more thing — you can always opt for the half-zip option instead.
Additional Details: Sizes: 0-14 | Colorways: 6

Best Lounging Jacket: Oversized Scuba
lululemon

Best Lounging Jacket: Oversized Scuba

lululemon Scuba Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie in Mojave Tan ($128)

If you love the coziness of the original Scuba, but prefer a style with a little more room, this new oversize version is calling your name. It's the same cotton-fleece fabric we all know and love, just in a slightly roomier silhouette. The waist length is also perfect for a matching sweatpants pairing.
What Reviewers Say: People say the fabric is still just as comfy as ever. "Perfect slightly oversized fit, great material, perfect zip up to throw on over workout clothes or just everyday wear!" one reviewer wrote.
Why We Love It: The shorter length of this jacket would look so cute with a pair of matching sweatpants or high-waisted leggings. We love a matching athleisure moment.
What's Worth Noting: Although this is intended to have an oversized fit, you may still want to consider sizing up for a truly baggy look. Sizing is also more limited, only including XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL.
Additional Details: Sizes: 3 | Colorways: 8

Best Lightweight Jacket: Define Relaxed-Fit

Best Lightweight Jacket: Define Relaxed-Fit

lululemon Define Relaxed-Fit Jacket Luon in Twilight Rose ($148)

This breezy jacket is the perfect layer for the warmer months. It has an oversized fit, and includes lululemon's lightweight Swift fabric to keep you cool during or after a workout. As an added bonus, you can also cinch the cords at the hem to adjust the shape to your liking.
What Reviewers Say: Shoppers love this jacket for summer, but some note the cinch cords can be difficult to use. Overall, it's a lightweight take on the classic Define style. "I got so many compliments on the jacket. Run big but I love the materials — very much thin and breezy," one shopper wrote.
Why We Love It: We love that you can cinch this (truly oversized) jacket around your hips to give it more shape.
What's Worth Noting: This is a new style and it's already selling out fast. However, if you're used to lululemon's more fitted style, you may want to consider sizing down.
Additional Details: Sizes: 0-14 | Colorways: 5

Best Jacket For Cold-Weather Runs: Down for It All
shop.lululemon.com

Best Jacket For Cold-Weather Runs: Down for It All

lululemon Down for It All Jacket in Lilac Smoke ($228)

If you're running in colder weather, the lululemon Down for It All jacket is a total gamechanger. It's made with water-resistant Glyde fabric, keeping you warm and protected through rain or snow. It's also filled with goose down, fully insulated, and wind resistant so you can get through your cold-weather runs a little bit easier. Even if you aren't running, the slim fit is so flattering (which may explain why it's always sold out).
What Reviewers Say: Reviewers love the form-fitting style, and confirm that the jacket really is as warm as it sounds. "Beautiful jacket and perfect fit. Very warm even on 20 degree walk," one shopper wrote.
Why We Love It: A slim-fitting jacket that actually keeps you warm? Adding to cart immediately.
What's Worth Noting: The hood on this jacket is not removable (although we happen to think it's super cute and functional). People also suggest sizing up depending on the amount of layers you intend to wear. Thicker layers may warrant a larger size.
Additional Details: Sizes: 0-20 | Colorways: 2

Best Cold Weather Jacket: Wunder Puff
shop.lululemon.com

Best Cold Weather Jacket: Wunder Puff

lululemon Wunder Puff Jacket in Symphony Blue ($298)

If you've been searching for a lululemon winter jacket, look no further. The Wunder Puff Jacket isn't playing around when it comes to cold weather. The soft-matte silhouette is filled with 600-fill-power goose down to keep you warm on even the chilliest winter days. It's also waterproof, windproof, and full of pockets. There are two interior pockets and two zippered hand pockets, one containing a hidden sleeve for your phone.
What Reviewers Say: Reviewers rave about how well this puffer jacket helps them bear the elements. "This winter was brutally cold in NH and I was only able to tolerate it because of the warmth of this amazing puffer!" writes a reviewer. "Seriously, this jacket is like waking up in a warm bed, you'll never want to take it off. The pockets are great and the cuffs keep the cold breeze out."
Why We Love It: What we love about this jacket — besides keeping us super warm — is that it features a removable hood and a cinchable waist if you want a snug fit.
What's Worth Noting: If you're not sure about this specific style but love the features, it's also available as a cropped jacket.
Additional Details: Sizes: 0-14 | Colorways: 4

Best Rain Jacket: Rain Rebel
shop.lululemon.com

Best Rain Jacket: Rain Rebel

lululemon Rain Rebel Jacket in Bone ($228)

This lululemon rain jacket makes stormy days much less gloomy. The thigh-length design is full of practical details. It has zippered pockets to protect your essentials from the elements, a cinchable drawcord on the waist for a more fitted look, and a hood (of course) to keep your head dry.
What Reviewers Say: This jacket can withstand the most intense downpours, according to multiple reviewers. "I brought this jacket to my trip to Italy," writes one reviewer. "I was in Pompeii and it was pouring rain (super hard) and this jacket kept me so dry!!! I highly recommend. It is also really light so it is a great jacket for traveling, too."
Why We Love It: What we love about this silhouette is that it's actually stylish, which isn't exactly common among rain jackets. Couple that with the fact that it's made with the brand's waterproof Glyde fabric and what's not to love, really?
What's Worth Noting: A significant chunk of reviewers noted that they had issues with the zipper getting stuck. Nonetheless, those who reported having issues still gave the jacket a high rating. One person who gave it five stars wrote: "No problems with the zipper - you just have to push it down a bit further than you think when getting started because it's a dual-direction zipper."
Additional Details: Sizes: 0-14 | Colorways: 2

Best Insulated Jacket: Quilted Light Insulation
shop.lululemon.com

Best Insulated Jacket: Quilted Light Insulation

lululemon Quilted Light Insulation Jacket in Black ($129 - $189, Previously $228)

This quilted jacket is trendy yet timeless. As for the fit, it's relaxed, slightly oversized, and shorter in the front than in the back — perfect for when the weather can't make up its mind. It's made with a recycled nylon shell and lululemon's lightest-weight insulation that'll take you from season to season.
What Reviewers Say: Shoppers love this jacket so much that they're (rightfully) begging for more colors in the reviews section. "Would love a chocolatey brown color," one person wrote. Another said: "Please drop in a white opal or ivory — it would be stunning."

Why We Love It: We're big fans of lululemon's more casual jackets. This quilted fabric can look sporty or chic, depending on how you style it. We'd layer this over a casual shirt and jeans.
What's Worth Noting: This jacket is designed to be roomy enough to fit over warm layers, so the brand recommends sizing down if you prefer a slimmer fit. If you'd prefer a shorter length, it also comes a cropped style with a zipper (as opposed to the snap buttons seen here).
Additional Details: Sizes: 0-14 | Colorways: 3

Best For Wet Weather: RepelShell
shop.lululemon.com

Best For Wet Weather: RepelShell

lululemon Cross Chill Jacket
RepelShell in Cyber Violet
($198)

Nothing's fun about being cold and wet, which is precisely why the Cross Chill RepelShell was invented. The waterproof and windproof style features a soft fleece lining and a shell that quite literally repels water (but you guessed that by the name, right?). It also has a higher neck to keep out the chill, and five (!) zippered pockets for your phone, running gels, keys — you name it.
What Reviewers Say: "I bought this jacket for my daughter who is a junior golfer," writes a reviewer. "She often plays in cold and wet conditions and wanted a jacket that keeps her warm and dry without restricting her movement. The Cross Chill jacket is perfect. It also looks very flattering on her. Highly recommend this jacket for outdoor activities."
Why We Love It: Another shopper said it best: "This jacket does an amazing job of [providing] the right amount of warmth, repellency, and moisture wicking." It's a lighter layer that will still deliver on warmth.
What's Worth Noting: If you're torn between this jacket and the similar Another Mile jacket, it's worth mentioning that this one's lighter (think: mild to cold temps) but waterproof, and the Another Mile Jacket is warmer (i.e., suitable for frigid temps) but not waterproof.
