The Style And Comfort Of A Musto Riding Coat

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.

Zara Phillips, granddaughter of the Queen, is well known for her equestrian skills. She has collaborated with the brand to come up with a collection of equestrian wear that offers bright colors, technical detail and design quirks that will appeal to any rider looking for comfort but not willing to sacrifice style.

The new technology used in manufacturing fabrics has made the heavy, uncomfortable riding jackets of yesteryear obsolete. Now there is no reason to sacrifice comfort in favor of style. Lightweight polyesters are used and soft inner liners offer warmth and comfort. Fabrics are breathable as moisture can be wicked away from the body, leaving wearers dry and warm. The seams are taped to ensure that they are fully 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.

There are various suppliers of this brand of clothing and most have online websites where orders can be placed. It is easy to determine what size is required from the sizing guides provided. One can select an item according to the size and color required. Colors include more formal blacks and navies as well as bright reds and oranges. These garments are also designed to allow various adjustments to the fit such as providing drawstrings around the waist and adjustable cuffs.

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.

A Musto riding coat offers quality and style as well as providing the ultimate in comfort. As the fabrics used are technologically advanced, they allow riders to remain warm and dry despite the most difficult weather conditions. Such a garment may cost a little more but it is very durable and can be worn for many years with confidence.
