Review, Lululemon’s City Sleek Utilitech Pants

[LindaD22]

I thought I’d share my opinions on Lululemon’s City Sleek Utilitech pants. We have been cruising Italy & the Mediterranean since May 8. Many of those days had very rainy days, sometimes pouring rain. These pants did outstanding. They are very comfortable, plenty of pockets, resist water & wrinkles, and dry quickly. They did at times get soaked at the cuffs (again, LOTS of rain!!) but once inside or during drier bits of the day, they air dried very well. I plan to purchase another pair in either black or navy. 
 

On a side note, my Lands End waterproof rain jacket (shown below) was a workhorse! It kept me dry no matter what, the hood was so appreciated, pockets were great and snapped shut. Great jacket!

Thanks -- I always appreciate hearing about items like these. Sorry you had so much rain to "test" them in!

GREAT recommendations!  I'll go see if Lulu has any 34" inseams.  Thanks for posting.

$128 for pants!  They should be excellent quality for that price.

of course you’re right! I always like to wait for a sale, or at least use my Delta airlines shopping portal for points. But I’ve tried spending less and expecting the same performance, only to be disappointed and out that money also. To me, investing in quality clothing that will offer years of wear and perform just as I expect is worth it. But I understand that for others, price point is the determining factor.

I believe in buying quality, but I buy most of my things used.  At this moment I'm wearing a pair of wonderful jeans that I bought on ebay for about $14 -- they look great and fit perfectly.  I stick to two name brands (Lauren Conrad and Lee because they fit my shape) and am fussy about getting "low rise" because they fit my small stature.  Quality and price don't necessarily go hand-in-hand.  

 

Similarly, I only wear Nike or Vans tennis shoes, and my price point is $10 for Nikes and $15 for Vans.  I can't find them every day for that price, but I have a pretty good collection.

These pants look great.  Wish they came with a normal waistband and skinnier legs.

The cargo pants do have a slimmer leg, I was looking at those too. ❤️

I’ve found the Kirkland brand (Costco) of travel pants are my go to. $15, fit is perfect. Wash in sink, hang up, dry in an hour, no wrinkles. Fabulous pants

Too bad the inseam is 27". ... I need 34" inseam.  They look just perfect, especially all the pockets.

They might have talls on line
