Reigning Olympic decathlete champion Damian Warner is also impressed with this year's athlete kit.
"We're going to be able to showcase some of our own personal style, while showing off our Canadian pride together," said Warner, who will be competing at his fourth Summer Games.
"Not only are Team Canada athletes going to shine on the field of play," he said, "they're going to turn heads wherever they show up in Paris."
The kit includes features like magnetic-close zippers, pull-on loops, and sensory touch guides to support a diverse range of body types and abilities.
Stylistically, the uniforms combine red, white and other colours using Lululemon calls modern silhouettes and Canadian-inspired prints.
Lululemon made its debut as Canada's Olympic and Paralympic outfitter at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games after a 16-year partnership with Hudson's Bay Company ended after the Tokyo Olympics.
