All Good Equestrians Know Why ZP176 Is Among The Best

By Arline Bradley


The undeniable sense of style that equestrian practitioners have has been known to be unique for centuries now. The ZP176 jacket has now been made to look sportier than ever before. It is been made to keep people warm whether you are riding a horse or just walking around. The designer of this collection is none other than Zara Phillips.

It all started in 1964 when a sailor who was not very happy about always having to be cold and miserable while enjoying his sport. He had no idea how to start producing clothing so he went to a few different manufacturers and spoke to them about improving some designs. They were not interested in what he had to say. He and a few others then decided to make clothing that was fit to be worn in a storm, protecting one from getting wet and cold.

He later went on to introduce shoes and boots. Handbags and sporting bags were a part of his brand as well. Not only were there walking, hiking and running shoes but some for skateboarding were made as well.

Polar fleece was first created in the late 1970s by Malden Mills. This was meant to mimic wool while still being light and strong. He did not want to patent this material as he wanted it to be produced cheap and to be spread to all corners of the world.

Depending on your style, most of them sport a protective high collar and has a stripe tape zip. The front pockets are made lower and have a zipped opening. The panels and the extra wadding give it great insulation and lots of freedom to move. Worn with jodhpurs and long boots it will give any rider style.

If you do not like having a high collar on your jacket, one can always get a fleece neck tube. They are not expensive and have a composition of 260g polyester fleece. One size fits all and the color is of a light green. Different styles of gloves are available as well, depending on what one will need them for. Leather shooting gloves are made of 100% leather and are close fitting. They are water repellent and have a light elastic knitted cuff. They come in brown and have different sizes.

If it is held up to a naked flame it tends to melt and not burn. It does have some disadvantages: e. G. It doesn't allow for perspiration to pass through and evaporate like wool would. It is not windproof and does tend to create static electricity. This will mean that it will be like a magnet to dust, pet hair and lint. Do not tumble dry it at high temperatures and for some of the cheaper quality it will cause piling.

The fleece competition glove is made with horse riding in mind. They are made from PU material which will keep ones hands from slipping off the reins. The back is covered with polyester fleece and will protect one even in the coldest weather. They are not expensive and come in black and blue.

The designers of these items have gone out of their way, so that whoever wears their product will still look chic and stylish. It is made so that those who love the outdoors do not have to be stuck inside on those bitterly cold days. Life is all about exploring, so bundle up and enjoy.
