Contourwear Zip Off Pant : Fancy Pants

Like their AnyWear pant, which I reviewed recently, Contourwear's Zip Off Pant is made out of strong, stretchy, breathable, moisture-wicking Schoeller fabric that's water- and abrasion-resistant. The same material that many outdoor companies use in their trail apparel.

So I get the benefits of trail-tough pants in a stylish, low-rise, straight legged pant that's fashionable enough for the office, urban wear, or any occasion where black (they also come in dark brown and in khaki) pants are appropriate. Because they're lightweight and wrinkle-free I like taking them on vacations as my "dress up" pants..and shorts.

Say I'm in London, I'm wandering around Covent Garden, and it's unusually sunny and warm. All I have to do is zip off the pant legs and stow them in my bag.

The Contourwear system consists of core pieces (two styles of pants, two shirts styles, and a skirt) that can be mixed and matched to create dozens of outfits. Check back next month for another Contourwear product.
