Just lately, a Redditor stated that Lululemon wanted to drop an après-ski assortment, which generated greater than 550 upvotes — together with one from me. As a former Lululemon worker, I nonetheless gown in head-to-toe Lulu. And, as a Montanan, I’ve been carving down slopes since I used to be too brief to trip on curler coasters and waterslides. So, a post-mountain assortment from the activewear model is like music to my ears — and it makes excellent sense since Lululemon is known for making athleisure attire très stylish. Reddit might have been onto one thing as a result of I not too long ago found a semi-secret Lululemon Après-ski Store with almost 300 gadgets — and it appears to be rising on daily basis.

I want I’d had a number of of those curated seems to be with me final week once I was snowboarding — and après-skiing — with Dolomiti Superski in Italy. Europe’s après-ski scene is equal components type and Aperol. When you can après-ski indoors, it’s far more enjoyable al fresco — which suggests your garments want to supply loads of heat. Lastly, I need to reiterate that you just don’t need to ski or snowboard to get pleasure from slopeside socializing; half of the group at Huge Sky’s “Peakside Pours” solely come for the stay music and complimentary wine tastings. 

So, whether or not you’re a skier, a boarder, or just somebody who likes to have time, under are 15 Lululemon garments and equipment I’m eyeing (and shortly shopping for) from the après-ski store, from heat winter coats to cozy leg heaters.

Coats and Jackets

Featherweight 900-down-fill Puffer Jacket

It could appear counterintuitive, however the greater the fill-power, the lighter the jacket. Actually, this 900-down-fill puffer is principally a toasty heat wearable cloud. One shopper who left a rave evaluate even calls it their “pleased place.” However in contrast to a cloud, this puffer doesn’t maintain moisture. It’s water-repellent, so that you don’t want to fret about snow flurries or spills. (Accidents can occur even whereas après-ing; final week I by accident dumped a glass of wine on my journey author good friend Todd Plummer.) One other large promoting level? It packs down right into a small pouch that clips into one of many hand pockets. 

Pack It Down 700-fill Jacket

I additionally love Lululemon’s best-selling (it has greater than 500 five-star scores) Pack It Down 700-Fill Jacket for après as a result of it has a slimmer match that permits me to put on it below my ski shell. So, if I am going straight from the slopes to socializing, all I’ve to do is take away my outer layer for this stylish look. Actually, one glad shopper goes as far as to name it a “timeless piece.” Options embrace a zip-off hood, hand pockets with a hidden sleeve for a bank card or resort key, and a stuff sack; when compressed, this jacket takes up about as a lot baggage house as a water bottle. 

Snow Warrior 600-down-fill Parka

It truly rained on us within the Dolomites, so I might have used this waterproof parka. The seams are sealed so not a single drop of moisture seeps by, and 5 zippered pockets maintain your necessities dry. The Snow Parka — which has greater than 300 five-star scores — can also be a fantastic après choice as a result of it has inside straps so you possibly can put on it like a backpack for those who get too toasty, and the fleece collar can also be detachable. “It undoubtedly saved me heat in 0-degree Fahrenheit [weather],” wrote one shopper who obtained this parka for journeys to Canada and Colorado. Sadly, it doesn’t pack down like the opposite two jackets; however it’s an extended size that covers your bum making it excellent for pairing with leggings. 

Heat Leggings

Quick and Free Excessive-rise Thermal Tight 28”

After sporting ski pants all day, I really like après-ing in form-fitting leggings. Granted, I don’t need to freeze to demise which is why I’m drawn to Lululemon’s Quick and Free Excessive-rise Thermal Tights. They’re fabricated from a thick (however not too cumbersome) recycled polyester that insulates higher than conventional leggings. One shopper wrote that they even “held up effectively on a snowy 8-mile run in 18-degree Fahrenheit climate.” I’m additionally a giant fan of all of the pockets: 5 to be precise. In search of a cropped choose or an choice for those who’re on the shorter facet? These tights are additionally obtainable in a 25-inch size.

Whereas the Fleece Excessive-rise Operating Tights don’t have as many pockets because the Quick and Free Thermal Tights, they’re fabricated from nylon, in order that they’re higher at repelling water. Select from six colours together with 4 classics and two trending colours: Ripened Raspberry and Riverstone. And whereas they’ve “operating” of their identify, you don’t have to be coaching for a marathon for them to grow to be your go-to bottoms. “Nice for any outside exercise on their very own or as a base layer!” wrote one shopper.

And simply because they flip heads, it doesn’t imply you possibly can’t work out in them. Like most Lululemon leggings, these tights are sensible and technical. They boast a again drop-in pocket, four-way stretch, and a contact of Lycra in order that they don’t lose their form. 

Sweaters, Sweatshirts, and Extra Prime Layers

Alpaca Wool-blend Cardigan Sweater

In terms of wool, I’ve all the time worshipped cashmere. However the extra I find out about alpaca wool, the extra I feel I might convert. Like cashmere and Merino, alpaca is of course odor-resistant and helps regulate your physique temperature (so that you don’t freeze or overheat). Buyers say Lululemon’s Alpaca Wool-blend Cardigan Sweater is simple to decorate up or down, and relating to transferring between après venues, it helps to have a flexible layer.

Whereas I’m acquainted with most of Lululemon’s signature materials, this shirt is fabricated from one thing I haven’t encountered but: Lenzing Modal. It’s a material derived from beech tree pulp that’s tremendous delicate and cozy.

Get two seems to be for the worth of 1 by way of Lululemon’s Reversible Crossover Sweater. With its pillowy sleeves and boxy silhouette that one shopper stated “drapes fantastically,” it’s excellent for après-ing in dressier locations like Aspen and St. Moritz. One facet of the sweater has a conventional hem size, whereas the opposite (tastefully) reveals slightly pores and skin by way of a tapered reduce. It’s undoubtedly a singular piece that Lululemon has by no means supplied earlier than. Nevertheless it has 260 five-star scores, so I anticipate it to remain in circulation.

A part of Lululemon’s signature Scuba Assortment, this funnel-neck half zip has an enormous following regardless of being a comparatively new drop. “It’s the right mix of cozy and stylish!” wrote one shopper whereas others say they will’t put on it out with out receiving compliments. Made from a luxe, velvety material, it’s perfect for fancier après institutions. That stated, it’s extraordinarily sensible. The excessive neck retains drafts out, the kangaroo pocket protects valuables, the thumbholes present additional hand heat, and the zipper pull can be utilized as a ponytail holder.

Comfortable hour with chilly palms may be depressing, which is why I’d by no means après with out these Wunder Puff Mittens. Sure, they’re dear, however you get what you pay for.
