LOMON Womens Plus Size Workout Top Review: Perfect for the Outdoor Enthusiast

When it comes to workout tops, comfort and functionality are key. The LOMON Womens Plus Size Workout Top promises both, with features like UV protection and quick-dry material. Being a 4X-Large, it caters to plus-size women looking for activewear that fits well without sacrificing style or performance. But does it really deliver on these promises? Over a couple of weeks, I put this top to the test to see how it fares in real-world situations.

My initial impression was positive. The white pink floral design is eye-catching and adds a bit of flair to the usual workout gear. However, looks can be deceiving, so I was eager to see how it would perform during various activities that I usually enjoy, like hiking and yoga.

The top is marketed as suitable for a range of activities, from outdoor sports to gym workouts. This versatility is a big selling point for me because I like to mix up my fitness routine. If it can handle different environments and activities, it's already a step in the right direction.

In this review, I'll break down the different aspects of this top—from design and material to comfort and overall value—to give you a clear idea of what you can expect from this piece of activewear.

The design of this LOMON workout top is pretty straightforward but with some thoughtful features. The 1/4 zip with a chin guard is a practical addition, giving you the option to adjust the collar based on the weather or activity. I found this particularly useful during early morning hikes when the temperature can vary. The thumb holes are another nice touch, keeping the sleeves in place and offering some additional sun protection for your hands.

However, the floral pattern might not be to everyone's taste. It's bold and makes a statement, which I personally didn't mind, but it might not be for those who prefer more muted tones in their workout gear. The side pockets are a bit small, perfect for keys or a gym card, but don't expect to fit much more in there. On the whole, the design caters well to active women, especially if you're looking for sun protection and a bit of style.

One minor gripe is that the stand-up collar can feel a bit stiff when zipped all the way. This might soften over time, but during my initial use, it was slightly uncomfortable if worn for extended periods. Overall, the design is functional and adds some flair to the usual plus-size activewear options.

The fabric of the LOMON workout top claims to offer UPF 50+ protection, which is a big plus if you're into outdoor activities. I tested this out during a sunny afternoon hike, and it seemed to do its job in protecting my skin from sunburn. The material is breathable and quick-drying, which is great for high-intensity workouts or humid days.

In terms of moisture-wicking, the top held up well during an intense yoga session. It absorbed sweat efficiently and dried relatively quickly, so I didn't feel clammy or weighed down. This is crucial for me, especially when doing activities like running or hiking where comfort can make or break the experience.

However, the material is on the thinner side. While this makes it breathable, it also means that it might not be the best option for colder months unless you're layering. The texture of the fabric is smooth and feels nice against the skin, but it also seems prone to snagging, so you might want to be cautious around rough surfaces.

All in all, the material quality is decent, especially for the price point. It achieves what it sets out to do in terms of sun protection and moisture management, but just be wary of its limitations in terms of durability.
