Staying warm this winter just got a whole lot easier. Check out the Uba Hoodie*Lux!

To show my unwavering love and affection for the Remix, I took my assortment to a local park and we had a little photo shoot. The outcome is below!

The sweater that started it all… my very first Scuba lulu Hoodie in Mineral!

The last Remix lulu Hoodie that will be added to my collection - one from the Art Hoodie Series! Time to start collecting the Scuba Hoodie…

Building the leaning tower of Remixes

14 and counting…

Only two more to go…

Hooray! Tiff’s leaning tower of Remixes!

Finding peace amongst the hoodies.

And now for the ultimate test – a balancing act!

One side is piled… now for the other!

Warning: Don’t try this at home. Remix lulu Hoodies are tippy and heavy!

Remix lulu Hoodies: 1. Tiff: 0.

With a little help from the photographer, Sarah… success!

Success, that is, until they all toppled over!

This is what I like to call Remix art…

Jumping for joy!

Sometimes I just want to wear them all at once… my record is 6 at one time. I challenge you to try more!

Now that’s what I call a hoodie!

Remix lulu Hoodie… I LOVE you!

If you are not familiar with lululemon's iconic hoodie it is a staple item for anyone who appreciates soft, warm, thick, preshrunk cotton. The preshrunk part gets me the most when wearing this hoodie because it never changes. Like a reliable friend, it stays true to you and maintains its "hug-like" shape. It also has a no-buckle zipper seam since all zippers are sewn in after preshrinking. Its high neck and large hood will keep you warm and happy.

Hoodie evolution takes time, great guest feedback, and entrepreneurial designers!

2005

The first Scuba Hoodie shape is released as a premium item to wear to and from yoga class. It becomes an instant classic with its short body length, luxurious thick fabric and snug fit.

2006

The Remix Lulu Hoodie is born. With a slightly longer body length, lighter fabric and a shower of artistically colored prints the Remix lulu hoodie has garnered somewhat of a "collectors" item status.

2010

A third iteration of lululemon hoodies is released with the familiar name, "Scuba," and with some additional features. Thumbholes are added, the body length is slightly longer, stretchy side panels are inserted to create a fitted look and unique logos were used.

I am 5'8 with a medium chest and curvy hips and have been in a committed relationship with the Scuba Hoodie for some time. The Scuba Hoodie represents my oath of goodness to myself because it takes me to and from my yoga practice, surrounds me in warmth and has my back -- even on the most disastrous of days.

We sent out an email this week with education points on how to figure out how our men's hoodies will fit on your dad. We only had room for three main education points in the email and on the home page, so here is the men's hoodies director's cut! I consulted Steve at the Guest Education Centre for the facts about fit and function since he owns and wears both the Full Time Hoodie and the Protagonist Jacket and asked him to add his own first-hand knowledge of the products. His comments are below.

1. lots of room

Our men's hoodies have a more boxy shape than the women's ones you may be used to, which fit quite close to the body. There is more room in the arm, chest, and back areas of our men's hoodies. When wearing the hoodie, your dad should be able to easily move his arms. If it feels tight across the back or chest, try going up a size.

Steve says: The Protagonist Jacket fits much slimmer than the Full Time Hoodie. As a result, most men may find that they are more comfortable dropping down a size in the Full Time because they don't need quite as much room as it provides. However, most guys will probably chose to stick with their regular size in the Protagonist Jacket. For example, I wear a medium in most of our products, including the Protagonist Jacket, but I wear a small in the Full Time hoodies.

2. dads like pockets

Like most of our products, our men's hoodies have well-placed and deep pockets. The Full Time Hoodie has a zippered pocket on the chest for storing dad stuff like coins, toothpicks, or a Tim Hortons gift card.

Steve says: The pockets in the Protagonist Jacket are mesh lined, which allows for breath ability in addition to stash space. The FT Hoodie has a secure 'hook and loop fastener' (that stuff that sticks like a burr to dog fur and makes a scratchy sound) coin pocket which works great for meter money or whatever!

3. won't shrink

Our hoodies are washed three times before the zipper is added, so it will stay flat and won't buckle after washing. Also, Lycra is added to the fabric so you won't have to worry about the size changing or the colour fading.

Steve says: The Protagonist Jacket comes in Classic Sport Grey & Heathered Sky, which are two pretty informal colours that are easy to match with the Chief Shorts or even with jeans. For a slightly dressier look, I'd recommend the black hoodie, because it looks sharp, it's easy to match, and is always popular with the fellas. When it comes to sizes, don't count on them shrinking, because they won't! If it fits in the store it will fit - it's a winner!

4. double-lined hood

The hood is lined with double cotton, which gives it lots of structure and will definitely keep your dad's head warm on chilly evenings.

Steve says: Although the Protagonist Jacket's hood is double-lined, it's still thinner than the hood on the FT Hoodie. It will shape itself to your head even better than the FT hood, so this is the one for guys who like to throw the hood up from time to time.

When I was a little girl rarely was I seen without my "blankie" in tow. Not only was it a soft and cuddly security blanket that kept the boogie man away at night, but it was a multipurpose piece of gear in my day-to-day life as a toddler! I wrapped myself in it to stay warm when sneaking downstairs to watch Saturday morning cartoons; threw it over my head as a ghost costume to scare the family cat; and even used it as the tablecloth for fantasy tea parties with my large cast of dolls.

The Savasana Wrap is like a grown up version of my "blankie". While I haven’t played ghost in almost thirty years, it is the perfect flexible wardrobe staple to make me feel warm and snuggly all over before or after a workout; an easy and casual sweater to toss over jeans or shorts; and, by its very name is THE thing to put on during meditation at the end of yoga class. This is also an ideal transitional maternity garment as the a-line drape of the body allows for a lot of growth.

To ensure that it doesn't look frumpy, the shoulders and arms should be fitted - I had to go down a size. The snaps can be done up however you want – try a cowl neck for day and a more cape-like look for night!

The Savasana Wrap: three different snaps = three different styles

1. All the way

2. Snap it one time

3. Let it loose!

Take a peak at the Savasana Wrap online or in your local store.

Getting down and dirty in yoga class is admirable – getting off your mat and practicing outdoors is extraordinary. Taking yoga outdoors stimulates the senses and heightens physical awareness. I have found hiking yoga to be one of the most invigorating and spiritual activities.

Without breath, you are not doing yoga. So why not breathe deeply while hiking and explore the possibilities of connecting to the earth. Groups across the country are offering hiking yoga classes/guides that are specific to the geographic area. Eric Kipp in San Francisco leads urban Hiking Yoga groups that focus on breath and engaging the core. Eric takes you inside the romantic hidden spots of the city while stopping after every huge hill to do a relaxing warrior or triangle pose.

The beauty of nature, like being next to a campfire, immediately inspires you to emerge from your safe zone. Hiking with a group promotes rich social interaction and human connection. I have found the shared experience to be rewarding and quite awakening to my bodies capabilities.

Like an ice cold glass of lemonade, LUX is the answer on a hot summer day.

Can you feel it? It's starting to heat up! Even so, as I head out the door in the early morning, or the Weather Channel calls for some wind, I automatically throw on or pack one of my trusty Remix Lulu Hoodies. Out of the closet, just in time for summer, comes my Remix Hoodie Lux.

What is the difference between the regular Remix and the Remix Hoodie Lux? For one, the Lux hoodie feels like my favorite well loved t-shirt. The fabric is made of a natural yarn called Modal® which is derived from wood pulp. This material feels extremely soft against the skin. Added details: Lycra® for stretch and pre-shrunk for the perfect fit!

Whether I'm pairing it with speed shorts to the gym, lounging around in ElementaLuLu Pants or heading to the park in a pair of denim cutoffs, the Remix Hoodie Lux is the perfect addition for my summer wardrobe. LUX it up!

Why We Made This:
-A "to & from" warm layer with a longer body to provide more coverage!
-Lycra® in fabric to hold its shape
-Preshrunk so zipper will not buckle
-Chafe resistant - flat seamed
-Chin protecting zipper garage
-Longer sleeves for added warmth
