Waffle Knit: lululemon’s Scuba Fleece Update is SO GOOD

This article is sponsored by lululemon and Collective Voice.

I’m a huge fan of lululemon’s Scuba Hoodies – there’s really nothing like it. The quality is unmatched (my old lululemon Scuba hoodies still look like new) and lululemon always manages to blow me away with their absolutely gorgeous colors. (Case in point? lululemon came out with a chocolate brown called Sequoia, and it ruined me for all other chocolate browns.)

So when lululemon dropped my favorite Scuba set (Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie + Wide-Leg Pants) in deliciously waffled textured knit, I had to try.

Spoiler: Just go get it. It’s so freaking good.

lululemon’s Scuba Oversized Waffle Hoodie & Wide-Leg Pants: My Review

lululemon’s Waffle-Knit Scuba fabric feels lighter than their original Scuba, but does have a bit of heft. It’s wildly soft, slightly slouchier and the drape is fantastic!

If you’re someone who often gets too hot all zipped up in a hoodie, this set is like a breath of fresh air. Yet, thanks to the waffle knit, the set walks the line between cool and cozy.

I’ve already washed and dried this set, and not only was there zero shrinkage – even in pant length – but the color and fabric look exactly the same. Reviewers seem to think that this set runs a little bigger, and while I agree, I stuck with my usual size in both pieces.

I’m wearing the XS/S in the hoodie, and it is a little roomier than my original Scuba hoodie, but not in an overwhelming way. That said, I’ve recently started sizing up in lululemon’s Scuba pants to get a looser fit around the middle, as well as a higher rise. I find it more comfy.

The pants have a 30″ inseam (roughly) which is a liiiiiitle too long on me – I plan on hemming mine – but even after washing the hemline stays consistent.

But this set was one of those purchases that I couldn’t freaking wait to wear, pants too long or no.

I can’t say enough good things about this set, Gang. It’s definitely on my ‘brings joy’ list.
