All Our Favorite lululemon Jackets

We tried on the full range of lululemon jackets and outerwear this fall and narrowed down the models we reach for most. Living in Minneapolis means we pick pieces that perform across unpredictable fall weather and the subzero cold of winter. We also prioritize jackets that work equally well for outdoor exercise—running, skiing, hiking—and casual everyday use.

Below you’ll find our top picks grouped by use: transition jackets for milder weather, active jackets designed for movement, and true winter coats built to withstand prolonged cold.

Transition Jackets

Transition jackets are versatile: lightweight enough for brisk fall days and a reliable shield against spring showers. Many of these styles can be dressed up for the office or paired with leggings for a casual look. Our favorites:

  • Rain Rebel Jacket: A go-to rain jacket for the team. The hood is generously sized to keep rain out of your face, and the longer hem protects you when you sit on damp surfaces. Practical, flattering, and weather-ready. (Emily and Lee: size 6, Linley: size 4)
  • Always There Trench Coat: The trench trend gets a functional update here. The camel shade elevates outfits while the water‑resistant fabric and hidden hood make it a smart, weatherproof choice. For a relaxed, oversized look, size up one. (Emily: size 8)
  • Non-Stop Bomber Reversible: A playful, reversible bomber that works indoors or as a light outer layer. Thin enough to wear over a tee but useful on cool evenings. Choose your usual size for a fitted look or size up for extra room. (Lee: size 6)
  • Oh So Sherpa Full Zip: Plush sherpa fabric for warmth and texture. This full-zip is cozy, easy to layer, and perfect for casual weekends and chilly commutes. (Lee: size 6)
  • Always Effortless Jacket: A refined, wind‑resistant jacket that pairs well with jeans or athleisure. It blocks breezes on cool fall days and transitions smoothly from errands to workouts. (Lee: size 6)

Active Jackets

If you prioritize movement—running, cross‑country skiing, or trail hiking—look for jackets that balance warmth, breathability, and mobility. These pieces hold up to activity while keeping you dry and comfortable.

  • Down For It All Jacket: Our top pick for winter runs and alpine days. It offers excellent wind protection, multiple pockets for essentials, and a streamlined fit that avoids bulk. For heavy layering on very cold days, consider sizing up. (Lee and Emily: size 8, Linley: size 4)
  • Down For It All Vest: When temperatures are too warm for a full puffer, this vest delivers core warmth without restricting movement—ideal for run-cold, ski-bum commutes, and layered trail runs. (Lee and Emily: size 6, Linley: size 4)
  • Define Jacket: A breathable, soft dry‑fit jacket for milder activity days. Lightweight enough to tie around your waist mid‑run and comfortable for both warm fall days and layered cool-weather workouts. (Lee: size 6)

Winter Jackets

For true winter protection—especially in cold, snowy climates—look for insulated parkas and puffers with wind and water resistance. These styles deliver maximum warmth and coverage for long exposure to cold weather.

  • Wunder Puff Jacket: Exceptionally warm while remaining lightweight. The shorter Wunder Puff is great for active winter days; a cropped version and coordinating vest are also available for varied layering. (Linley: size 4)
  • Wunder Puff Long Jacket: Offers added length and insulation for the coldest days—a smart choice when you need extra coverage against wind and snow. (Lee and Emily: size 6)
  • Winter Warrior Long Parka: Designed for extended winter wear, this long parka provides serious warmth and protection for Arctic‑level conditions and daily winter life. (Emily: size 8)
  • Pack It Down Jacket: Packs up small for travel yet offers substantial insulation. A slightly slimmer fit than traditional parkas for a more tailored winter silhouette. (Lee: size 6)
