Recommended For Every Woman By WJ -
Viv wore Contourwear during a 9-week trip to Europe from
September to November, 2009.

Viv Tested The Below Contourwear Clothes:
Long Sleeve Raglan, US$47
- This top is a necessary item in any woman's travel wardrobe.
Move over cotton - this knit top is exactly the ticket for a great
adventure. Available in a variety of fun colors.
Viv's Notes: I decided on the black ragland, although some of the
pastel colors look great, because I wanted a garment that would
be basic, yet mix and match with a variety of other Contourwear
pieces for day and evening wear. This turned out to be exactly
what I was looking for. Great for layering when the weather turns
cooler and not too hot when the temps are sweltering. Washes
by hand easily and drip dries quickly while maintaining its shape.
This is an item that I won't travel without. Now I just need to get
a couple more for everyday wear at home and around the office -
I see the turquoise and fresh green in my near future.
Bottom-Line:
Contourwear clothing came through with flying colors during this 9-week European adventure.
All items easily washed by hand and drip-dried overnight. I was looking for a number of
style-specific garments in basic colors and it turned out I was able to create an entire
wardrobe with about 13 pieces.
Contourwear clothing is the most stylish, versatile, lightweight and comfortable line that I
have experienced and I know their clothes are going to be part of my travel and everyday life
for many years to come. Also love the fact that most items are good for UPF30+ and the
materials don't hold odors - even from sweating in extreme conditions.
Take a good look at their various collections and find the perfect outfit to suit your style and
life:

3/4 Sleeve Wrap Top, US$48
- With 3/4 sleeves, this knit top is light weight enough for
layering while still being warm enough for an evening stroll.
Incredibly comfortable material that is available in a variety of
colors.
Viv's Notes: Took along this top in coral and retro green to
match with the black and navy pairs of quick dry trousers. On
cooler days and evenings they paired nicely with the zip-up
blouse being used as a jacket. The material wore well and held
its shape from hand-washing and wringing. Drip-dried overnight -
approximately 6-8 hours depending on humidity levels.
Wrap Tank, US$46
- Made from the same great polyester and lycra material as
the 3/4 sleeve wrap top and with very similar styling. This
tank offers style and versatility to any travelling woman's
wardrobe. Lots of colors to choose from.
Viv's Notes: Another essential black piece to mix-and-match
with the other Contourwear garments in my travel bag. With
this top, you can be styling from the dusty trail to the cocktail
party.
Zippy Raglan, US$50
- Whether you are out for a run, hike or in need of a
long-sleeve layer for a day of travel, the zippy raglan with
zippered map-pocket on the back, offers the performance
and comfort you are looking for. Available in fuscia and black.
Viv's Notes: The material is so comfortable that you will
want to wear it all the time. I used this top on all travel
days and found it to be the perfect fit for spending hours on
planes, trains or hauling myself between hotels and train
stations. Takes a little longer to drip-dry than some other
items (probably due to the map pocket on the back), but
was still ready to wear again the next morning. Zipper in
neck provides great ventilation. Another great feature was
it didn't stink. After months of everyday wear and sweating
this material doesn't hold odors - now everybody loves that!
Front Seam Tee, US$38
- Made from polyester and lycra but feels like cotton. Figure
flattering with a scoop neck and looks great with shorts or
pants. Available in a variety of fun colors.
Viv's Notes: Another great Contourwear product. Liked the feel
of the material and quick-drying capability. The mint color went
well with both navy and black pants and shorts. Perfect
everyday/everywhere piece.
Illusion Jacket, US$105
- What clothing can you carry with you that only weighs
2oz? Contourwear's Illusion Jacket!
If lightweight wind and water resistance is what you're
looking for, this is the solution. Stuff it back into its own
pocket and drop in your purse or pack - you won't even
remember it is there until you really need it. Available in
black or dune.
Viv's Notes: This is a great looking jacket that takes up
practically no space at all. Works well at the beach when
you just want a little something to cover-up or take the
chill off.
