1. lululemon ABC Classic-Fit Pants
Wear these popular pants from the office to the golf course with the lightweight material that's designed to hold its shape and not stretch out over the day. The Warpstream fabric is wrinkle-resistant, too. "This is the best pair of pants I have ever owned. [They're] incredibly durable; I could sleep in these things and roll into work the next day looking freshly pressed," mentions one lululemon customer. If you're walking out and about after dark, you can flip the cuffs up to reveal reflective strips to alert your visibility to drivers.
2. lululemon Metal Vent Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt
Breathable long-sleeve shirts with a non-chafe, seamless design are a great piece to have for warm-ups before a workout and runners. This long-sleeve can keep your upper body warm and covered without overheating, and the material wicks sweat to avoid accumulating moisture, too. "Great, breathable shirt with a mild tapering. [It] fits your shape well and will accentuate your features. Only thing to note: If you have much body hair, the breathable mesh fabric will catch them and make you itch from time to time," says one customer.
3. lululemon Beyondfeel Running Shoes
If your loved one is training for a race or has been complaining about needing some new running shoes, gift him these brand new men's lululemon sneakers. Made specifically for running, these tennis shoes are built to offer breathability, flexibility and stability for your feet, staying comfortable even if he logs a lot of miles. They're designed with a mesh upper and a high-traction outsole, while the inside is cushioned with supercritical foam to give the foot bounce when it hits the ground and takes off. If they aren't his cup of tea, you can return them within 30 days of purchase. "I was going to test these shoes and expected to return them within the 30-day window, but was happily surprised how they felt. The support on the [sole] is...perfect and am excited to start my next run," says one lululemon customer.
4. lululemon At Ease Jogger
These joggers have "relaxation" written all over them. The cotton fabric, mixed with the added fleece, makes these pants equally breathable and warm. They have a cinched ankle and no tapering for a sweatpant-like feel. One surprisingly smart feature: The backside has a seam, which, according to commerce editor Olivia Dubyak (whose husband has these joggers), "gives them some shape, unlike a lot of sweats." Also on the back and sides are zipper pockets to keep personal belongings secure. These pants are made for lounging and casual wear and are available in four colors.
5. lululemon ABC Jogger
These everyday joggers can be worn for just about anything. The Warpstream fabric is breathable and designed to keep its original shape after tons of wear and washes. "I have been buying these pants for my husband for years. They are comfortable without wearing bagged-out sweatpants. They keep their shape and last for years," says one lululemon customer. Some customers report these pants run a bit small, so if you're buying for someone who's between sizes, definitely go up.
6. lululemon License to Train Linerless Short
It seems like inseams are getting a bit shorter for men these days, so those five- to seven-inch lengths are the way to go. These shorts have a classic fit for a roomy feel, and the abrasion-resistant fabric will help them last for a long time. "[I] got these for my husband and they are solid. They look good, feel good and don’t limit his mobility at the gym," reports one customer. Plus, there are multiple color options in case your man is picky.
7. lululemon Twill Utility Jacket
This lightweight and breathable jacket is great for the guy who likes to look put together while still feeling sporty. It's made of a stretchy twill material that's also water repellant. The relaxed-boxy fit has a cool, modern look that looks great on most frames and styles. "I love the boxier fit of this jacket; great to wear over a hoodie. I wish the sleeves were not so long but that is a personal issue," says a customer. Aside from the two functional chest button pockets, there are two side zip pockets.
8. lululemon Evolution Short Sleeve Polo Shirt
Your man will love wearing this short-sleeve polo on the greens with his buddies. Its breathable and quick-drying material will keep him cool—even in the hottest of temperatures. "The material is comfortable, breathable and flexible. I would recommend this to any guy that is looking for a polo that just fits well," reports a lululemon customer. It's designed for a slim fit so he won't have extra fabric blowing in the wind distracting him from his swing.
9. lululemon Sojourn Windbreaker
The avid runner in your life deserves a nice running jacket to offer ventilation and a bit of warmth at the same time. This zip-up is made of the brand's stretchy SpeedWeave fabric, which is flexible, water repellant and windproof. "[I] got this as a birthday gift for my daughter's husband who lives in Washington. He loves it. It's very well made and looks great on him," says a customer. It has extra pockets on the back as well as a reflective detailing along the zipper for those evening and early morning runs.
10. lululemon Metal Vent Tech Half-Zip
This half-zip is designed to gently skim the body for a breezy feel while running. It’s constructed with minimal seams, too, which means much less chafing or discomfort while working out. It has reflective detailing for night and early morning runs, and the material is amply ventilated to avoid hardcore sweating.
11. lululemon Soft Jersey Short-Sleeve Shirt
This t-shirt is a go-to for weightlifting, running or basically any kind of workout. The sweat-wicking material is great for sweaty workouts and it's so soft that it's a go-to for lounging as well. Talk about versatile. "[I] love this shirt for workouts and leisurely wear. [It] dries quick and the comfort is second to none. [I] definitely recommend it for any activity," one customer says. It’s available in just a few colors, but we recommend getting all four because it's that good.
12. lululemon New Crew Backpack
Whether he needs to pack some yoga blocks, running sneakers or an extra set of gym clothes, this bag has plenty of space in the main pocket to fit all of his belongings. In fact, it can also double as a diaper bag. "This bag is perfect for a family outing, as it holds all my belongings and looks great," mentions one customer. There are also exterior pockets to hold a water bottle and smaller items, as well as a laptop sleeve inside.
13. lululemon License to Train Hoodie
A comfy hoodie is great for warming up or cooling down. This one is made to wick sweat and is crafted from a lightweight material that won't add to your body heat. "These are warm enough when it’s cold, while not being too warm for a workout. (I can wear these for a whole 50-minute spin class)," reports one customer. A few others note that they tend to run a bit small, so sizing up may be a good idea.
14. lululemon Close-Fit Beanie
The stretchy, cotton-blend fabric with Lycra will ensure this beanie keeps its shape and won't stretch out over time. Notably lightweight, this hat is a great pick for spring or fall because it's warm but designed for movement. Plus, it's ribbed for a timeless, cool-guy look.
15. lululemon Pace Breaker Linerless Short
He'll be able to pop these shorts on for all workouts, and if he hates the lining that comes in a lot of men’s shorts, these don’t have any. The fabric dries quickly, so even the sweatiest workouts won’t leave him drenched. One customer reports, "They're stretchy, super light and soft. The fabric feels great on the skin. I'd buy them again. The inside pockets are small, so I assume they're for earbud cases. The zip pocket is too small for a phone."
16. lululemon ABC Slim Fit Trouser
The ABC trousers were originally the Commission pants, which were beloved by customers. The new design has a more elevated business-casual look that still has the sporty features, like quick-drying and wrinkle-resistant material. Customers like the fit and comfort of these pants, as well as their versatility. "Quickly this has become my favorite pair of pants," says one reviewer. "I wear them on sidelines at college football games and they hold up great to the heat, move well with me and even do OK in the rain."
17. lululemon Wunder Puff Jacket
Now that it's getting cold out there, a cozy, warm jacket is the perfect gift for your loved one. This one is made of the brand's SoftMatte fabric, which is soft on the skin and won't leave him sweaty. "This down jacket is very warm, moderate in weight and of good quality," one customer reports. The fabric and filling are water repellant and windproof for cold winter days, and this style is available in three colors.
18. lululemon The Mat
This mat is less than an inch thick and has a nice, grippy top to give your body traction during sweaty workouts. It also features an anti-microbial additive, which helps prevent mold and mildew from forming. "This mat is proof that you get what you pay for. I had purchased a $40 mat elsewhere, and there’s no comparison to this one!" Mentions a lululemon customer. (One thing to note: The mat does contain latex, in case you or your giftee has an allergy.)
