I was so excited to see that my Glyder Mantra Crops in Calypso space dye print came in a day early! They were supposed to come in today, but I got them last night.
I'm a Lululemon "We Are From Space" print fanatic. When I saw that Glyder carried space dye crops AND they were cheaper, I was ecstatic! I tried Glyder's Mantra Crops in acai berry space dye last March, and I was thoroughly impressed with the fit and quality. They recently came out with a limited release of a summer space dye print, Calypso, and I knew I had to buy them!
I ordered the Mantra Crops in Calypso space dye in a size small. I ordered a size x-small last time, but decided to size up since they pinched my hips a little. The crops are great price. They originally retail for $56 which is about 22% less than Lululemon's Wunder Under Crops at $72. Since I'm a member of the Glyder "Guru" program, I got them at 30% off for $39.20.
The print, itself, is gorgeous. There is white, teal, and purple in this space dye. The teal and purple would be very similar to Lululemon's surge and bruised berry.
The only thing I wish the crops had was a pocket. Unfortunately, there is no internal or external pocket on the Mantra Crops. My apartment gym has a key fob entrance, and I have no where to put my key. :(
I'm not too wrapped up around the brand of space dye. Space dye print is still space dye print to me. I've gotten several pieces from different brands, and the strokes are all very similar in design.
From top to bottom: Ivivva Space Dye Pow Pink Light/Flash Light/Creamsicle Pop, Glyder Calypso Space Dye, Ellie Balance Capri, Lululemon Fatigue Wee Are From Space, and Glyder Acai Berry Space Dye
I have to admit that the fit was a little different from my first order. I'm glad I sized up because I probably wouldn't be able to fit in a size x-small! They felt a little tight in my rear, but they relaxed after about 10 minutes of wearing them. Now I would say they fit great.
Like my other pair, the material is very opaque. I don't have to worry about underwear lines or any lumps/bumps showing.
In my previous review, I compared Glyder's Mantra Crops to Lululemon's Wunder Under Crops. I would say that these are about 1-1.5" shorter than the Wunder Under Crops.
Just to give you an idea of the colors used, I compared the Mantra Crops to some of my Lululemon Cool Racerbacks.
Clockwise from top: Bruised Berry, White, and Surge
I think all three colors in the Cool Racerbacks look great with the print. I think I like the white and bruised berry best. I think surge color blends in a little bit with the pants, but I still like it.
Overall, I highly recommend Glyder Mantra crops if you are a space dye fanatic like me. They are a great value and feel the same as Lululemon's Wunder Under Crops. I'm a big fan!
