Yes. It is a hooded half zip with long sleeves and reflective details.

Is it meant for workouts or everyday wear?

Our take on the lululemon It's Rulu Cropped Half Zip

A cropped, oversized half-zip hoodie in lululemon's ribbed Rulu fabric, a soft brushed knit that wicks sweat and holds its shape. It is built for cold-weather workouts and layering, with a hood, long sleeves, reflective details and a hem that covers the bum. The oversized cut and cropped length make it a lifestyle piece as much as a training top. Rivals in the same space are lighter and less warm; this one leans toward cozy layering, and owners rate it well overall while noting the boxy fit runs large.
