The prAna LoLa Sport Top adds a touch of elegance to your climbing or yoga wardrobe. With thin crisscross straps and slightly gathered material at the chest, pair this prAna top with a cute skirt for a night out, or throw it on with some stretchy capris and hit the rock. The slight v-neck and built-in Coolmax shelf bra creates a supportive and stylishly-vibrant front. Made from wrinkle-free, moisture-wicking Meryl fabric, the LoLa keeps you comfortable in any situation.
Bottom Line: Climb well, stretch well, and look lovely in the functional and elegant LoLa.
Each season I purchase a few Prana tops because I climb and I find that Prana's patterned fabrics offer a nice change from all the solids out there.
This season, I ordered the Lola in the Capri Pop pattern in size S. The top was two inches narrower than my Lola tops from prior seasons. I also ordered the Sabin Racer in Capri Blue Flower in S and it too, is two inches narrower than my other Sabin Racers! I am returning both and wondering if this change in Prana sizing is a permanent one and whether I should be ordering Mediums in the future.
Unfortunately prAna doesn't make that fabulous Athena top that fits perfectly, hits just above the hip, gives enough coverage for every activity outdoors. I like the pattern and the material of the LoLa, but find it a little too revealing for real work-outs. I wish prAna would bring back their original Athena cut!
I bought the Bubble in medium and the fit is comfrotably loose-probably not approprite for runs but just right for Pilates and Yoga. Love the bubble design; only small complaint is that the cut in the front requires that I pull up the straps every so often when I am in certain inverted positions; otherwise I see show a bit more than I want. Otherwise, it's a flattering tank with a whimsical design.
I ordered a small since I already have a size small Lola in Blue Dot from last year and it fits perfectly. However, the Espresso Bubble small was two inches narrower in the body than the Blue Dot Lola I already had. I returned it and got a medium which is exactly the same size as last year's small.
This top is so cute. I would love to have one in every color. It shows a little cleavage, but not too much. I wear it to do yoga and to go out. The straps are strappy and cute. I don't find the torso to be tighter than usual, but the straps were a little bit chaffing when I first started wearing it, right on the top of the shoulder. It doesn't bother me anymore. Maybe I got used to it, or maybe the straps stretched a little.
I bought this because I love all of my PrAna gear that has this fabric (the nylon/spandex blend). This top has performed extrememly well when I climb, which is good becuase I can concentrate on the climb rather than having to pull and tug and a top!
I bought two of the LoLa tops and one of the Katie tops for climbing and general summertime wear. Even though I am considered "petite" size (5' 4" and 125 lbs), I ordered M sizes in them all because my trunk measurement around at the bust is 36". I rated these tops as adequate for the job because although the prints are beautiful, the sizing was VERY inconsistent. One of the LoLa tops fit me tightly while the other two fit around the bust but were looser around the waist. I do consider the breathable material the redeeming factor for these tops, just do not plan on much support for a high-intensity activity.
I bought the prAna Lola top the same time I bought the Mountain Hardwear ventilator, and I love them both. Comparing, the Lola has very nice sturdy fabric. I would never worry about it tearing or wearing out, where the ventilator is a little thinner (although still very awesome). The Lola, though, has a little too much fabric around the shoulder blades and lateral muscles, making it a little uncomfortable when climbing. It's every bit as comfortable as any sports bra, and cuter. I love the pinch-front.
So, I would say order this shirt based on your boob size. I ordered a little too big and- well, for some yoga poses I get a little nervous about hanging out. Pluses: the straps have full clearance of my shoulder blades, which I am a huge fan of. Minuses: maybe I am supposed to hand wash this top but either way the material seems to be pilling more than I would think for something I have owned maybe 4 months tops. Good for low impact sports but I wouldn't recommend for running in most cases.
This is a great top. A sports bra isn't necessary, and it allows for tons of movement. To the fashion-conscious: the halter-crisscross straps emphasize shoulder and arm definitions and derails attention from the male-friendly parts.
This shirt is beautiful (I got the eggplant color) and great for climbing with full movement of the shoulders. However, the shirt is more snug around the middle than the Athena top (meaning: it does nothing to hide love handles). Maybe buy one size larger.
This has been a great all around top for climbing & aerobics to matching with a skirt for the beach. As from past comments, the torso is nice and long and isn't around my belly button halfway up a rock wall. I'm 5'9" and a 36A and a medium fits great. Only complaint to prana is that the lola dress in medium doesn't have the same fit as the top.
I ordered this top because I have 2 others from previous seasons in a different fabric that I really like, but the fabric of this top wasn't great. The fit of the size medium was what I would expect, but the fabric felt thin and didn't offer much support for an athletic top. I returned the top and purchased 2 other styles in solid colors where the fabric was much nicer (less recycled content, I believe). I am often willing to pay for prAna quality when it comes to climbing, yoga, and workout clothing, but this top didn't seem to be worth the prAna price tag. Too bad, because the style is cute, and prAna usually gets it right when it comes to style, function, and quality.
This is a great top for just about anything you enjoy. Yoga, rock climbing, run, bike, or just wear out casually. It is feminine and for a smaller frame like me doesn't require a bra underneath. I highly recommend!
5 stars for this in supplex, 3 stars for the polyester.
I love this top in the black solid & even the lake pebble print i have, I wear them all the time to the gym, as a base layer when skiing, even as a cute top with a skirt in summer. So I ordered the port & expresso monet versions and while the pattern is cute, the fabric is just lacking, it's not nearly as supportive or nice feeling. it's great that it's recycled material, but this feels like it won't keep it's shape at all. it's MUCH thinner than my black (90% supplex 10% lycra), and I'm wondering about it's sweat wicking capabilities (the tag says breathe like the other, but 92% polyester and 8% spandex)...
i'm a 34D, with a 26" waist and the small fits me perfectly. Smaller chested girls could probably go without a sports bra with the supplex version of these, but i doubt it with the polyester ones.
I bought this top in the Patina Taj print and medium, and think it is a really fun design. I was going to use it primarily for Bikram (hot) yoga. I'm 5'4' 135 lbs. and don't fill out the shelf bras in the medium size too well. I like size medium for prAna tops so that they are form fitting, but not skin tight. I decided to return it as this top would not provide me with enough coverage for bending over poses. In general though it is a fun design, and nice cotton-feeling material with technical wicking capability. Though it didn't fit me quite how I would like, I would still recommend this top, and for those of you looking for more coverage, I recommend the Tizi Sport Top by prAna.
I bought this top for my mom for christmas and it fits her perfectly and looks great, too. Great support for the chest and just really lights up any dull workout outfit :)
