I just bought the down for it all men’s jacket in Size M yesterday for myself and i did try on the women’s one but it really was tight around my stomach area and chest and I like a loose fit to put a shirt on underneath but I can’t help but like feel like I just don’t look like the models wearing the women’s down for it all jacket and so I went for the men’s and It’s comfier, has a double zipper! I started looking at the men’s clothes and some of the stuff looks comfier so does anyone else by stuff from the men’s? Like I hate a tight fitting shirt around my chest / armpits (love a loose baggy tee) but all the women’s ones seem to be tighter (minus all yours tee, I know that).

    Ya I mean I was a spoiled kid so. I did get to wear like lulu when I was younger but for volleyball. But since then I’ve gone through a lot w grad school & my dad has cancer so I’m taking care of my parents, ive gained weight. So I’m not the same size anymore and I’m not that confident so I want like a looser tee for my chest / stomach area. I’ve heard a lot of ppl like the men’s shorts but I can’t say much cuz I like the lulu bottoms but I was looking at their running tees and they look way more comfy

      Nothing to do with spoilt. I’m an equestrian who had 5 figure saddles as a child and spent the equivalent of a mortgage on horses annually.

      It’s more about the sizing and the construction of the product.

      75 lbs is very small think like under junior high sports. Think early / mid primary school. They’re barely making contact with the volleyball at that age unless they’re elite lol.

      Back in the early 2000s think like 2005 - the smallest size would’ve been likely too big for you at the ages I see wearing lulu now

      EDIT- also sorry for your cancer experiences with a parent. My father passed in 2019 - not cancer but traumatic.
