Musto Fleece For Superb Outdoor Wear

By Jeannie Chapman


Now there is a way to stay warm and still look great during all your winter activities. Musto fleece is designed with equestrians, sailors, and skiers in mind, but every man and woman who wants to keep the winter chill out while making a fashion statement should know about this line of sportswear. Now you can have the warmth of wool in a carefree synthetic fabric.

For centuries, fleece was found on the backs of sheep. The animals' woolly coats were sheared to make yarn which could be knitted or woven into warm blankets, coats, sweaters, hats, and scarves. Natural wool was valued because it stayed warm even when wet and was soft and flexible. For countless generations, this natural material was the best defense against cold weather.

Taking care of woolens was never easy. Moths ate them, improper washing could shrink them small and stiff, and many people were allergic to wool. As washers and dryers became part of life, people became impatient of things that needed hand washing and air drying. Blends, in which the natural material was combined with synthetics, helped bring wool into the twentieth century.

However, a synthetic facsimile has come forward to challenge the long-time winter favorite. Usually made all or mostly of polyester, this versatile material has improved over the last few years until it is virtually perfect for indoor and outdoor cold weather wear. Moths don't eat it, machine washing doesn't hurt it, and even dryers do OK, although tumble drying is not recommended by manufacturers.

This modern synthetic alternative to wool is very warm and wicks moisture away from the body, making it perfect for strenuous exercise. Being quick drying, it is great for quick dashes from car to barn, and it's so lightweight that it can be layered with waterproof material for rain gear. It's not windproof, but again a shell of impermeable fabric solves that problem. Sailors, equestrians, skiers, and lovers of the outdoors are pushing the popularity of this new kind of weather protection.

Musto is a line of durable garments that offers superior protection without sacrificing fashion sense. Their jackets and accessories will make you look good while they keep out the winter chill. Take their riding jackets, for instance. They come in many designs to suit the different needs horse people have. Four way stretch is one feature that makes for unrestricted freedom of movement in the saddle or on the ground.

The company website is a good place to go to see all that this company offers in high quality outer wear. Notice that the jackets are not bulky and the accessories make the wearer look good while staying warm. There is a choice of colors as well as function in the various designs shown in full detail on the site.

Outdoor activities demand the right gear. Musto fleece is top of the line for winter activities. This modern material is fast replacing more traditional natural materials such as wool as the way to combat the chill of winter.
