The Popularity Of Musto Fleece

By Eula Nichols


Keith Musto, a British Olympic sailor, originally developed this brand, aiming for a product that could keep sailors warm and dry in all weather conditions. His attention was caught by a synthetic fabric being produced in America and he shipped a container of it out to the UK. This was used to create his first garments. The Musto fleece is extremely popular today and has grown to include many garments suited for all types of outdoor activities.

Natural fibers such as cotton and wool have been used for centuries for making garments. Wool was used for cold weather items like jumpers and coats. It proved to be resilient, warm and soft. However, it also had some disadvantages, particularly for those spending much of their time outdoors. If it became wet, it did not dry easily, feeling heavy and uncomfortable. Washing and drying woolen garments has to be done with caution as it shrinks easily.

There has been great progress made in the manufacture of fabrics over the years. The fleeces made of synthetic fibers, like polyester, offer the advantages of natural fabrics, like wool, without its disadvantages. Washing and drying is easy and shrinkage is minimal if not totally avoided. The fact that synthetic fabrics can be blended has added further versatility.

The fact that fabrics made from synthetic fibers can breathe is one of their big advantages. For those involved in outdoor activities like skiing or riding, this means that they stay dry even when exercising vigorously. Another great advantage is the fact that they are so light in weight. This means they are easy to pack, wear and even form a layer under other waterproof garments in very wet weather.

The designs of these garments are created in consultation with top sportsmen and women. This means that they are extremely practical and allow complete freedom of movement without sacrificing style. Various features, like elasticized backs, make them body fitting without being restrictive in any way.

There are a great selection of warm fleeces in red, white, blue, classic red and black from the Zara Phillips, Signature and Evolution collections. The features on these garments are all designed to add to their practicality, such as hoods that can be adjusted or removed, front zippers with roll over chin guards and lined hand warmer pockets.

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 garment offers those who spend much time outdoors the opportunity to stay warm and dry. They are able to move freely while doing all kinds of activities from yard work to riding, fishing and sailing. Add to this the fact that they are stylish too and it is no wonder they are so popular with those who both work and enjoy leisure activities outdoors in all kinds of weather.
