Okay, I am the first person to admit that I refused to even try Lululemon pants because of their price tag. I was blinded by the price for the longest time. Everyone always told me that I just have to try them and it will change my mind.

Well, it took a few years but I did try them on and my whole world changed. I drank the Kool-Aid and I am now officially a Lululemon advocate. I even got Scott on the bandwagon and he owns 2 pairs of pants from them and 2 pairs of shorts.

Okay, so what’s the big fuss and why are these pants worth so much money and why should I consider these as my go to travel pants for ladies?

  • Their pants are SOFT as a baby bunny. Ok, this sounds nuts but really. The materials they use are incredibly soft and allow for easy movement and flexibility and perfect for those long haul travel days which is why I highly recommend these as travel pants for women.
  • Their clothing has RAVING reviews and last for years. You’re paying a premium for a product that lasts from a company who prides itself on its great reputation for quality.
  • Their leggings have some uplifting shaping magic that makes you feel confident and svelt. 
  • If by rare chance you get a defective item you can take it into Lululemon and have them check the warranty of the product or have it repaired at no cost to you by their seamstress.
  • The pants are lightweight enough they can be worn on hot days in places you need to be covered up.
