If you had $100 to spend on H&F gear, what would you buy?
Last night I found a $100 gift card that I received as a Christmas gift but haven't spent yet! How did I misplace that?!? I just splurged on LLL crops last weekend and I'm thinking I may pick up a pair of Athleta capris and a tank or maybe some running shorts. If you had $100 to spend on H&F items, what would you buy?
Re: If you had $100 to spend on H&F gear, what would you buy?
I would put it towards my runniing shoes. They're super expensive so $100 would really help!
Other than that though, I love running shorts, so I would probably get some of them. Not that I need more, but I love having all different colors!
If you have LLL crops, i dont reccommend going back to Athleta and buying their capris. I ahve both and their is a HUGE difference to me in their wicking and drying abilities.
Have you tried the LLL run inspire II crops? They are my FAV for running and crossfit.
I would get (all from LLL):
-Run Inspire Crops
-Cool Racerback
-Run swiftly short sleeve or tank
compression socks
cap for spring/summer
shorts
low cut socks

I don't have run inspire crops, but I tried them on at the store. I bought the Groove crops because they were looser around the knees. I'm still wearing my knee brace and will probably wear it at least until 1 year post knee surgery (and my ortho dr said I may very well be wearing it much longer than that.. just got fully cleared to run again and return to full normal activity the week of Christmas). Do you think I could fit a knee brace in under those crops? They seemed to be much more fitted around my knees. Maybe I could bring my brace with me and go try them on again lol.
What kind of caps do you like? I've never really found any I like.
Nice!
Right now I would spend it on new shoes since I am due for a pair. Extra sports bras and socks are always good to have.

I hate you very much
That was my favorite bra, too! I even emailed to ask if they're planning to bring them back. I mean, Flow Y is on its fourth iteration, why not the 50 Rep?
I've been buying the tanks that have a similarly-styled built-in. A small chesticus is a blessing.

I think you can wear your brace over the Run Inspire crops since they go down the calf a lot and its tight fitting.
Wahhhh.....I have ddds and I cant wear most of LLL tops since my heavy duty sports bra (enell) looks aweful with all those tops. I guess it saves me $$$.
