Moab Capri
 The Travel Companion


I recently returned from Europe with the Moab Capri as a new-found traveling companion.  On my discovery of new countries and new weather, the fit of the Capri engulfed me in comfort and inspired me to walk to all corners of undiscovered territory. I went from the Bavarian mountains in the rain, to Sevilla, Spain with 100 degree Fahrenheit weather in the Moab Capri. These pants will empower the activity of any woman.

The decision to bring the Capri overseas primarily depended on its versatility in my wardrobe. I needed something that could be dressed up and down, and the "stone" colored material allowed for the immediate change in casual and dressier styles. The length was also perfect for more conservative places, yet still had some fun as the Capri length and ability to match with everything.

Spending time outside walking around most everywhere, I needed the ability to be fully prepared for either an immediate downpour or the hot-hot sun. The nylon blend of the Capri is lightweight, and it doesn't hold moisture, allowing it to dry incredibly fast. Overall it helped me regulate body temperature and kept me warm or cool by wicking away moisture.

Permanent wrinkles can generally become a permanent irritation on the travel wagon. But surprisingly the thought of ironing never had the chance to enter my head. The "permanent" wrinkles immediately fell out. What can't these Capri pants do?

The fabric has quality that has a bonus and a minus to mention. One drawback was that while I was on the crowded Metro in Madrid, I sat next to a bag with some Velcro. Now my right hip has a snag, but there could be worse things--like a red wine spill. And the red wine spill did happen. I believed that the damage was irrevocable with deathly merlot streaks covering the front of one Capri leg. The wine spill also went onto my shirt, which prompted me to wash both clothing items immediately with some club soda and detergent. The Capri's nylon material was the superior in that the material has a knack for cleansing itself. It now looks as good as new.
