A Musto Riding Coat Offers Style And Comfort

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 riding jackets of today are very different from those worn in the past. They are made from lightweight fabrics like polyester and the inner linings are of fabrics that are breathable. Any moisture around the body is driven by chemicals through the garment so that the wearer remains warm and dry. Seams are taped, making the garment extremely waterproof too.

These garments are constructed in such a way that they are extremely durable and they are suitable for wearing even in extreme weather conditions like pouring rain. A water repellent finish means that drops of water do not penetrate the fabric, reducing weight and drying time. So not only do they let unwanted moisture out but they do not allow the garment to become sodden from the outside either.

Innovative designs allow for maximum freedom of movement. Items have double-ended zippers with pommel flaps in front. Sleeves are cut in such a way to allow for movement and length is carefully considered so as not to interfere with comfort. For example, a single or double vent in the back of the garment enables it to fall over the saddle so riders do not have to sit on the fabric.

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.
