Lululemon has restocked its "We Made Too Much" clearance section with significant discounts on performance apparel, including gym shorts that Men's Health editors ranked among the most comfortable they've tested. Prices on select items reach up to 60% off retail.
The retailer's clearance strategy addresses inventory overflow by offering previous-season athletic wear at substantial markdowns. This approach benefits consumers seeking premium activewear at reduced price points while allowing Lululemon to manage stock levels.
Men's Health's testing process evaluated the shorts across comfort metrics including fabric feel, fit, moisture-wicking performance, and durability during physical activity. The discounted shorts represent the same construction and material quality as full-price offerings, making the markdown particularly valuable for people regularly purchasing Lululemon products.
Clearance sections like Lululemon's "We Made Too Much" typically contain older colorways, styles, and sizes that didn't sell during standard retail windows. Stock rotates frequently, so popular items sell out quickly. The timing of restocks varies, though major refresh cycles often follow seasonal transitions.
For consumers evaluating premium athletic brands, clearance purchases offer an entry point to higher-quality gear without full-price commitment. Performance apparel from established brands generally maintains durability and function regardless of sale status, since manufacturers use identical production standards across inventory cycles.
The discounts apply to various product categories beyond shorts, including tops, jackets, and accessories. Shoppers interested in specific items should check availability regularly, as clearance inventory doesn't guarantee restock of sold-out styles. Free shipping often accompanies clearance purchases at certain order thresholds, further improving overall value.
