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.

This brand of clothing is a favorite in equestrian circles and even members of the royal family such as Prince Harry have been seen wearing these garments. The company has a range of equestrian products designed in collaboration with Zara Phillips, daughter of Princess Ann and an accomplished rider.

The new technology used in manufacturing fabrics has made the heavy, uncomfortable riding jackets of yesteryear obsolete. Now there is no reason to sacrifice comfort in favor of style. Lightweight polyesters are used and soft inner liners offer warmth and comfort. Fabrics are breathable as moisture can be wicked away from the body, leaving wearers dry and warm. The seams are taped to ensure that they are fully waterproof.

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.

The designs of coats have improved over time, becoming more stylish and comfortable. One example of such an improvement is the way sleeves are designed with articulation cut in for more freedom of movement. The length of coats is also carefully considered to prevent discomfort when mounted on the horse. Vents in the back of the coats allow for good positioning over saddles. Designs feature double-ended zippers in the front, often with an extra flap of 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.

Features on such coats are all designed to make these garments more practical and comfortable. For example, many have fleece lined pockets that are well positioned for keeping hands warm. The hoods are two-way, adjustable and able to be removed.

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.
