Lululemon Base Pace Leggings vs Fast and Free Leggings Review

These are my first pair of Lululemon Leggings. I got them from the Hong Kong website at HKD 450 in August 2022 and I have not seen them at such prices since. I’m wearing size S, Asian fit.

The Base Pace is made from Lululemon’s trademarked Nulux fabric. The description “Next to Naked” cannot be more accurate. It is the most comfortable pair of leggings and they are what got me paying attention to Lululemon. I was addicted with trying all the different styles.

It is perfect for Singapore’s hot weather and all my mummy duties like going to to zoo and playground. I am so grateful for them whenever we are outdoors. However, because they are so cooling, I sometimes feel cold in shopping centres.

The only downside to Base Pace is they do not have pockets. The Fast and Free leggings have pockets but also more seams, making it not as comfortable and soft as the Base Pace leggings.

Lululemon Fast and Free leggings, 25 inches, Black, size 2

I got the 25 inch Fast and Free leggings with reflective detail in 2 sizes, size 2 and 4. I had to size up after getting size 2. Size 4 fits like the Asian size S. Both pairs are from the Australian website and I paid full price for them because I knew black in 25 inches would almost never go on sale and couldn’t wait to get the ones with pockets.

The pockets are the biggest selling point for me as I wear them to the playground with my kids and like to go handsfree. I am not much of a runner so the higher compression does nothing except make my legs look slimmer. If you don’t need the pockets and don’t exercise in them, save your dollars and get the Base Pace leggings.

Lululemon leggings are pretty pricey and it can be confusing just starting out. I hope this review helped you. If you are reading this, you have done more research than me before I purchased my first pair. I had no idea Lululemon had so many styles to choose from and just bought the one on sale. The best way to find out what works for you is to try them out in stores.
