Musto Fleece For Superb Outdoor Wear

By Jeannie Chapman


Now there is a way to stay warm and still look great during all your winter activities. Musto fleece is designed with equestrians, sailors, and skiers in mind, but every man and woman who wants to keep the winter chill out while making a fashion statement should know about this line of sportswear. Now you can have the warmth of wool in a carefree synthetic fabric.

Fleece used to refer to the wool on the back of a sheep, which was sheared and turned into yarn. The yarn was knitted or woven into fabric or garments to keep people warm during cold weather. Wool stays warm even when wet, and is flexible enough to allow freedom of movement. With proper care, woolen sweaters, jackets, coats, or blankets can last for years.

However, everyone is familiar with the drawbacks to wool. Many people are allergic to the natural fiber, while others find it scratchy. Moths love to eat it, so summer storage is tricky. Machine-washing is usually not a good idea, although wool can be blended with synthetic fibers for easier care. Drying with heat almost always causes shrinkage with pure wool, often making a garment small and dense.

However, fleece has none of these drawbacks, being entirely synthetic. Most of it is a hundred percent polyester, although there are blends with spandex and other man-made materials. Moths are not interested, shrinkage is negligible, and machine washing is just fine. Manufacturers suggest using warm rather than hot water to extend the life of a garment and also recommend avoiding tumble drying. This is not a problem, since man-made fleeces dry quickly at room temperature and don't wrinkle.

Synthetic fleeces are warm. They wick moisture away from the body and dry very quickly, which is great for drizzling days or quick dashes from one shelter to another. Although they are not windproof, they are so lightweight that they can be layered with wind and water impermeable shells that stand up to the weather. They are so good at what they do that they're becoming standard winter wear for sailors, skiers, equestrians, lumberjacks, and others who work and play outside.

Musto is a line of durable garments that offers superior protection without sacrificing fashion sense. Their jackets and accessories will make you look good while they keep out the winter chill. Take their riding jackets, for instance. They come in many designs to suit the different needs horse people have. Four way stretch is one feature that makes for unrestricted freedom of movement in the saddle or on the ground.

The company website shows many designs in a wide choice of color. Jackets, neck 'tubes', and headbands make hours spent outside pleasurable rather than miserable. The look is streamlined, with the warmth of the fabric itself eliminating the need for bulk. From vests to hooded barn coats, these fashionable fleeces fit the needs of all who work or play outside.

If you're an outdoors kind of person, you should check out Musto fleece. This modern-day substitute for wool offers carefree outdoor wear with superior performance and fashion sense. There's no reason to spend time shivering - or hand-washing your warm clothes, either.
