Looking Good In Musto Zara Phillips

By Kenya Campos


Sportsmen and women all over the globe have trusted the Musto brand for the past fifty years. It was originally developed for sailors who wanted to enjoy their sport and stay dry. Riders feel the same way, they need to spend a lot of time outdoors in all weathers and need clothes that are up to the challenge.

Keith's new clothing line met with immediate success in the sailing world and it was not long before the equestrians were looking for similar products for themselves. As both sports are outdoors and at the mercy of the weather they had a lot in common. The company the Keith started back in the early sixties has grown and flourished. One of the latest additions to the line is the Musto Zara Phillips line of riding clothes.

Growing up in the royal family Phillips has been around horses since she was a small child. Both her parents were champion riders with highly successful careers in their own right. She has gone on to emulate their achievements and was the world eventing champion in 2006, as well as being voted British Sports Personality of the Year.

The Musto company has been around for almost fifty years. The began as a manufacturer of sailing clothes. As time on the water is just as challenging as time in the saddle the company quickly developed its own brand of riding and barn clothes. With the same attention to detail and high quality fabrics that have made them famous in the nautical world, they had every bit as much success with the equestrian apparel.

Many local tack stores carry the ZP 176 line of clothes. They can be a great place to compare and contrast the different features of the items. For example there are jackets that are water proof for foul weather riding and others that are merely shower repellent for spring and fall wear. Getting the right fit is also very important.

The Synergy Jacket combines many of these features and has quickly become a top seller. It is extremely warm and comfortable. The colors are classics and the sizing cut to fit. The air pocket technology works in a simple but efficient way to trap air and keep the rider warm. The light weight non bulky design is another valuable feature.

The Soft Shell Jacket is loaded with great features. One of the nicest things about it is the close fit that allows for ease of movement both in and out of the saddle. The elastane cuffs help to keep the rider snug in even the coldest weather. The focus is on comfort and functionality. The wonderful design is flattering and the micro fleece lining is delightfully warm.

For warmer weather the zip front sweater is perfect. It can be worn alone or as an additional layer under a jacket. The one hundred percent polyester fabric is light and easy to care for. It is also water repellent and fast drying. This is an essential feature for outdoor use. Riders often have to spend many hours outside at horse shows and need to stay warm and cozy.
