Winter workouts can definitely get sweaty. But they’re nothing compared to a pickleball match, bike ride or trail run on a hot, humid summer’s day. That means exercise gear that’s designed for the sky-rocketing temperatures of summer is non-negotiable — whether your gym’s air-conditioning system leaves something to be desired or you prefer to take your workouts outside. Luckily, Canada’s own lululemon has plenty of options for women and men. This season, ditch black fabric for bright hues and opt for pieces that wick sweat, dry quickly and allow plenty of airflow.
