The Versatility Of A Musto Gilet

By Eula Nichols


The fact that a Musto gilet is not only highly functional but stylish too makes it a favorite with sportsmen and women. There are a number of different styles available and they come in a range of colors like blue, black, navy and white. This sleeveless item can be worn when sailing, riding, shooting or just taking a walk in the country. There are those that can be worn in warm weather and others with extra insulation that are suitable for cold conditions.

The development team of the brand consults with leading fabric manufacturers to make sure that technologically advanced fabrics are used. These fabrics are not only light in weight but offer comfort and warmth too. Garments have an outer protective shell and a soft inner layer. Moisture cannot get in but the moisture trapped around the body can get out. This means that the wearer stays warm, comfortable and not weighed down by any absorbed moisture.

The range of gilets is designed with various different outdoor activities in mind. Soft fleece country items are a perfect addition to a shooting wardrobe and can be worn on cold winter days outdoors. To deliver heightened levels of warmth in very cold conditions, some garments have added insulation, helping to trap pockets of warm air close to the body. Quilted gilets have wadding added for this purpose and others are even filled with down and feather. As the range was initially designed for sailors, there are items that offer great wind resistance too.

Designs are innovative, offering style while ensuring comfort and ability to move freely at the same time. Features like concealed elasticized backs make items more form fitting for women. Practical pockets feature in many of these designs. For example, inside mesh pockets are perfect for storing items like maps that need to be kept dry but must still be easily accessible.

The zippers are another feature of these products, often forming an integral part of the look of the item. They are easy to locate and open or close due to the cord attached. On some garments the zippers on pockets are hidden and on others they are emphasized, like those on welted chest pockets.

These products may be bought at various online suppliers. Shopping online enables one to compare items and can also give one access to great savings and competitive prices. For example, one may be offered free delivery if one buys for a certain amount.

These items can be worn in different ways too. They can be worn on their own with a shirt . They are also light enough to wear as a layer under another garment like a raincoat. They are ideal for country use, either for shooting, fishing or country walking or a casual day out, making make a great seasonal layering garment.

A Musto gilet looks great and performs superbly. It is a useful, warming layer that leaves me plenty of space across the back and under the arms for freedom of movement. This is particularly important when performing any outdoor sports like riding.
