The Popularity Of Musto Fleece

By Eula Nichols


The Musto fleece was developed by a British Olympic sailor and engineer. His aim was to develop a garment that could protect sailors exposed to all sorts of weather conditions whilst out at sea. He decided to use synthetic fabric that he had to ship from America. His first garments proved to be so popular that the range grew to include those suitable 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.

The manufacture of synthetic fibers brought about a complete revolution in fabrics. Synthetic fiber fleeces offered many advantages over natural fabrics. Initially, the fabrics produced were not as soft or luxurious as natural wool but this improved over the years. Washing and drying these fabrics was very easy. Advances in technology meant they could be blended to add to their versatility.

The breathable nature of synthetic fibers is of great benefit to those who are active outdoors like riders and skiers. This quality means that moisture surrounding the body is wicked out, leaving them dry. If they get wet in showers of rain, they dry extremely quickly. The fact that they are lightweight means that they can form a layer under another protective coat.

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.

The company website offers information about styles, colors and sizes of all garments as well as providing an insight into the origins of this brand and the innovative technologies it uses. The garments are also available at other online stores. It is important to check whether these are reputable suppliers with satisfactory terms and conditions before placing orders. It is possible to find special offers and sales of these garments online.

A Musto fleece is the garment of choice for many outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate its comfort, warmth and stylishness. It enables them to perform rigorous outdoor activities while staying warm at the same time. The sporty designs make them look good whether they are doing yard work, riding, sailing, taking a stroll in the country or attending a sporting event.
