A Musto Fleece For Winter Warmth

By Eula Nichols





Keith Musto, an Olympic sailor and engineer, was keen to develop a product that could help sailors stay dry and warm while exposed to all sorts of weather conditions at sea. He decided to import synthetic fabric from America to make his first garments. The brand became so popular that it spread from sailing gear to garments suitable for other outdoor pursuits like horse riding. A Musto fleece is a popular addition to the wardrobes of stylish, sporty personalities.



Natural fibers like cotton and wool have been around for centuries. Wool was sheared off sheep, made into yarn and used for making garments well suited to keeping people warm in cold weather. This tough, durable and a resilient animal fiber with a soft touch had certain disadvantages however, particularly for those spending much of their time outdoors. Wool does not perform well when wet, taking a long time to dry. Special care must be taken when washing it as it can shrink to half its size if treated incorrectly.



The introduction of synthetic fibers changed things considerably. Now fleeces could be made with fabrics like polyester. These fabrics had a number of advantages over natural fabrics. For example, they could be washed and dried very easily without shrinkage. Synthetic fibers can be blended together as well, offering great versatility.



Garments made of these fabrics are breathable which means they are able to wick moisture away from the body and dry very quickly. This is a great advantage for those involved in strenuous outdoor activities. The lightweight nature of these fabrics makes them very comfortable. The fact that they are not bulky or heavy means they can can be layered with other waterproof garments if necessary.



The designs of these garments are stylish but allow for complete freedom of movement at the same time. This is due to the fact the way they are constructed with elasticized backs and other features. All garments are well tested with regards to style and fit.



One of the collections, the Zara Phillips range of equestrian wear, has warm fleeces and others form part of the Evolution and Signature collections. Features on all of these garments are designed to be practical such as adjustable hoods, lined pockets to keep hands warm and front zippers that roll over at the top to keep the chin protected. These fleeces come in colors like red, blue, white and black.



Browsing the company website offers a look at the full range of garments produced as well as the sizes and colors they come in. It is also interesting to read about the history of the company and its growth. Garments are available from a number of online suppliers, some of which offer special deals. One can even find sales of these garments online, picking up items at reduced prices.



A Musto fleece is a top of the line garment that ensures warmth, comfort and stylishness at the same time. It allows for freedom of movement while engaging in any kind of outdoor activities, from work to play. Those who spend hours outdoors in cold weather appreciate these garments that offer real protection from the cold and damp of winter.
