Winter Is Easier With Musto Fleece

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.

Fleece used to refer to the wool on the back of a sheep, which was sheared and turned into yarn. The yarn was knitted or woven into fabric or garments to keep people warm during cold weather. Wool stays warm even when wet, and is flexible enough to allow freedom of movement. With proper care, woolen sweaters, jackets, coats, or blankets can last for years.

However, everyone is familiar with the drawbacks to wool. Many people are allergic to the natural fiber, while others find it scratchy. Moths love to eat it, so summer storage is tricky. Machine-washing is usually not a good idea, although wool can be blended with synthetic fibers for easier care. Drying with heat almost always causes shrinkage with pure wool, often making a garment small and dense.

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 warm synthetic fabric dries quickly, which is great for quick dashes from house to barn, and wicks moisture away from the body. It's not windproof, but it works well in layered clothing, being very lightweight. If you're unfamiliar with this modern marvel, you need to check out Musto's stylish and effective winter wear designed for sailors, equestrians, skiers, and others who stay active during all four seasons.

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 shows many designs in a wide choice of color. Jackets, neck 'tubes', and headbands make hours spent outside pleasurable rather than miserable. The look is streamlined, with the warmth of the fabric itself eliminating the need for bulk. From vests to hooded barn coats, these fashionable fleeces fit the needs of all who work or play outside.

If you're an outdoors kind of person, you should check out Musto fleece. This modern-day substitute for wool offers carefree outdoor wear with superior performance and fashion sense. There's no reason to spend time shivering - or hand-washing your warm clothes, either.
