Lole Romp Capri Review

By Shannon on Apr 07, 2011 in Women's

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The Lole Romp Capri is made from technical fabrics that are suited for the trail, yet the cut and styling of the capri hold their own in the city as well. The Romp Capris are comprised of 84% recycled polyester which allows you to not feel too guilty about buying another piece of gear. The remaining ingredients for these super comfy pants is elastane, which helps these pants to move with you whether performing a downward facing dog or hiking with the dogs.

Our tester found that these pants are best suited for low impact, or low sweating activities. She found that the pants stick to your skin and get a little heavy with perspiration when pushing your heart rate up on the trail or at the gym. She also felt that the sizing was a tad generous; she tested out a medium and felt that she would have normally purchased a large based on the product description. However, our tester was 5’8″ with a 33 inch inseam and states that the length was perfect for her, something she doesn’t always see due to her leg length. In addition, due to the inclusion of elastane, these pants stretch out a bit if worn for a few hours or not washed in between wears.

Additional features include an adjustable draw cord hidden beneath the flat waistband and along the leg bottoms, which allows you to change the look of the pants and get a more contoured fit. Our tester liked that the pants sit low on the waist and have two front stash pockets and an additional zip pocket for valuables such as a car key. Our tester reported that these pants were best suited for either yoga or pilates, while also making a great bottom for traveling because they resist wrinkling and dry quickly. The Lole Romp Capri is available in black (the color we tested), steel gray, and grape juice and retails for $69.96. For more information, please visit Lolewomen.com
