Splits59 has dropped their first couple of items for summer ’15. It looks like they’ll be incorporating some stripes, which to my memory, is a first for Splits. It looks like they’re also bringing back some lamé accents. I have a weak spot for lamé, so this could be dangerous for me if it’s done well. No color previews yet!

Glyder has ventured beyond their primary yoga focus with a new fabric, Exoflex103. I’m assuming this is a slick fabric similar to luxtreme. Their intensity collection debuts this fabric in 4 items: a sports bra, bra tank, leggings, and crops. The bra and bra tank are designed to be high support. The bra especially looks like it hits the high points of high-impact function without the fugliness of many high-impact bras. So far there’s only one non-neutral in this line, a hot shade called neon peach. Btw, if you are interested in trying out the intensity line, you can enter AgentAthletica15 for 15% off your order (in case you missed it, that’s from a review of a couple of their other new items).

YogaSmoga added a bunch in a new shade this week: koel blue. It’s a pretty, summery shade. There’s also some new vermehlo, an orange shade in the second pic. They’ve been adding in hints of light and airy neutrals, heron grey and spanish grey, as well. Early last month, YS also released new zelos crops (third pic), which have sideblocking and a colorblocked design. YS has been hitting the textures and stripes pretty hard lately, likely playing off of the success of lululemon’s versions. I’ve noticed they have not been releasing anything new in their airh fabric, which is supposed to be similar to lulu’s luxtreme. I’ve heard complaints that the airh fabric is too thin/sheer, so I’m wondering if they’ve pulled back on it for further development. All current releases are some form of their aurum fabric.

I looked into that bra and the shipping charge to the east coast was $13.50 for a $50 bra!! OMG!
Yikes! Too bad they don’t ship USPS. :
The Glyder shipping is too expensive, but I’d really like to try those capris. If they’re like Luxtreme + side pockets= love! They say to size down- I’m a 4 in LLL/XS in most pants, does that mean I’m an XXS in Glyder? Seems unlikely- what size do you wear, Suzanne?
YS- I’m over them. The Airh fabric is SO SHEER. Worse than the worst LLL sheerness. I did their top + bottom combo for a special price a few months ago, and when I contacted customer service wanting to return or exchange the pants, they said exchange only and I had to pay return shipping and the new shipping charges. Oh, and also everything was sold out in my size. :/ It was terrible- I’m sorry- YOU sent me completely sheer pants and somehow that is my fault? That was my second bad customer service experience with YS so no more of them for me.
Thanks for posting- love your blog!!
Yeah, that’s not the first time I’ve heard bad things about YS’s customer service response to subpar product. :( Seems like they still have a lot of work to do on that front. As for Glyder, I wear an XXS and I think that size would fit a lulu 4, especially if you’re on the smaller side of 4. If you’re a bigger 4, you might be more comfortable in an XS. That said, I’m not sure if this new fabric is different, so take it with a grain of salt.
I tried the gray Momentum Crop from Yogasmoga. Super cute, and sadly sheer. I got them from Gilt, so exchanged for gray Run Jump n Play, which I love. Those pants are my latest faves for bright, thick crops.
Ahh I must’ve missed the last time they were on Gilt, you’re the second person who’s mentioned it. The run jump n play crops are definitely their best from what I’ve heard (and my own experience).
