Our take on the lululemon It's Rulu Long-Sleeve Shirt

A women's athletic long-sleeve top in lululemon's Rulu fabric, a soft brushed knit with stretch and recycled content. It has thumbholes, a half-zip closure, a small zip pocket and a hip-length cut, so it works as a running layer or a casual top. Rulu is warmer and cozier than lululemon's Swiftly Tech tops, which are thinner and more sweat-focused. Owners like the soft feel and thumbholes; some find the fit snug and the fabric too warm for hard efforts.
