While the Deep V Tank isn’t my absolute favorite lululemon piece, almost all of my friends swear that this is the best lululemon tank on the face of the earth. I’m pretty certain this is because it makes their boobs look big.
The Deep V Tank has been released in a few different styles since its inception. There was the Athletic Deep V Tank (with mesh and an iPod cord wrangler), the Deep V Tank Renew (with a slightly more relaxed shelf bra), the Deep V Tank With Pockets (the first version of the tank to have a built in iPod pocket), the Deep V Tank Organic (made from herbicide and pesticide free organic cotton), the Deep V Tank II (with a mesh back and slightly more coverage in the front) and also the regular ol’ Deep V Tank. They are all fairly interchangeable - and are simply seasonal or yearly updates on one another. All have a built in shelf bra, wide straps for added support, built in removable cups to lift and separate the bosoms, and a great racer-back. They are also fairly lengthy in the torso so there is lots of coverage if you are wearing low rise pants. The tank is slightly relaxed through the stomach.
The more I describe the Deep V Tank the more I realize just how awesome it is. And if I didn’t need something that offered just a little bit more support, this might just be my workout tank of choice. The support is what I would consider low to medium - and if you anything above a B cup, you’ll have to pair it with an additional bra. My less than busty friends love the removable cups. They add instant va-va-voom and easily removable. Aside from adding a cup size, they also add extra support.
I also can’t live without the new iPod pockets lulu has built into most of their newer tanks. While it only fits an iPod nano, I use it to store my gym pass, a $5 bill, an extra hair tie, or even a key. It’s great for all those things we used to shove in our shoe and had to dig out after a sweaty workout.
In short, if you want a flattering workout tank with medium support and all the bells and whistles, the Deep V Tank will hit the spot. It has come out in every color on the face of the earth and is constantly being reinvented. By 2010 I’m sure it will have a built in camel pack and probably release some special amino acid to actually make your boobs bigger.

It is SO true! I am so small chested but when I work out in my DEEP V, I actually look busty! The halter kind of lifts them up and the cups really work wonders! lululemons pants lift the bum and this tank lifts the boobs! What more does a gal want??? ps I love the new site.
Where can I get one!
They never seem to have any at the lulu in the Eaton Center.
I’ve gone back time and time again and they are always “sold out”.
Do you think that they hold them back to create the illusion of popularity or do they really sell like hot cakes.
I love, love this lululemon tank top! It’s so awesome to work out in and doesn’t squish my boobs so I look as flat as a pancake!
Margo - They actually sell out that fast, or else the replenishment shipments aren’t coming in as quickly as they could be, due to new items constantly arriving.
Yep -lulu has a hard time keeping stockon the shelves.
