Scott Trail Contessa Signature Women’s Pant is the most aero pants in this selection, and certainly offers a slimmer fit than others, but don’t be discouraged if you have curves; the four-way stretch means that they don’t feel like you’re being trussed up. They are incredibly comfy and move really well if you are undertaking more dynamic riding. The slim-line design runs down to a tight ankle fitting with elasticated backs to make them easier to slip on.
