A Musto Riding Coat Offers Comfort And Style

By Marissa Velazquez


The Musto range of products was first developed by a British Olympic sailor. He was also an engineer and wanted to develop a product that was not only durable and comfortable but suitable for all weather conditions. The brand developed over the years and expanded into the equestrian field too. A Musto riding coat is just one of a range of equestrian products.

The brand has become well known in the equestrian world. Zara Phillips, daughter of Princess Ann, and well known equestrian, has collaborated in designing a collection for the brand with a new sporty look. This range incorporates technical fabrics to keep riders protected in and out of the saddle.

Modern fabrics have rendered the jackets of the past obsolete. The comfortable coats of today are constructed from a lightweight polyester outer shell and an inner liner which has a lovely soft feel. The fabric breathes by absorbing moisture from around the body and driving it chemically through the clothing, keeping wearers dry and warm. These breathable products have taped seams, making them completely waterproof.

The durability and quality of such a jacket means that any type of activity can be performed in style. Even when rain is pouring down, the drops of water simply run off of jacket. The wearer stays dry and does not suffer the discomfort of a garment sodden with absorbed water. The lighter weight of the fabrics used also means that mobility is improved.

The designs are innovative, ensuring maximum comfort, style and ability to move freely. Articulation is cut into the sleeve designs for added mobility. The coats come in different lengths but whatever the length, care is taken so that it does not interfere with the saddle. A vent at the back ensures that the item sits well over the saddle. Many items also have a double-ended zipper with an additional pommel flap in front for more protection against the elements while preventing bunching at the front.

These products may be bought at various local stores and from online suppliers. Online sites have sizing guides to assist with choice of the correct size and most sizes from small to large are available. The fit of the garments can be altered in some ways. For example, an adjustable drawstring allows one to nip in the waist, creating a good shape and fit. Studs on outer cuffs are also able to be adjusted.

Different features have been added to increase warmth and protection. Well positioned fleecy pockets allow for hands to be warmed. Hoods are adjustable and can be removed. The range of colors offered has also grown and one can go for the more conservative black and navy or make a splash in red or orange.

This brand is highly respected for its combination of quality, comfort and style. The technologically advanced fabrics used give great protection from the elements. A Musto riding coat offers not only great comfort and quality but it is stylish too. It can be worn with confidence that one is looking good no matter what activity is being undertaken.
