The Popularity Of Musto Fleece

By Eula Nichols


Keith Musto, an Olympic sailor and engineer, was keen to develop a product that could help sailors stay dry and warm while exposed to all sorts of weather conditions at sea. He decided to import synthetic fabric from America to make his first garments. The brand became so popular that it spread from sailing gear to garments suitable for other outdoor pursuits like horse riding. A Musto fleece is a popular addition to the wardrobes of stylish, sporty personalities.

Natural fibers such as cotton and wool have been used for centuries for making garments. Wool was used for cold weather items like jumpers and coats. It proved to be resilient, warm and soft. However, it also had some disadvantages, particularly for those spending much of their time outdoors. If it became wet, it did not dry easily, feeling heavy and uncomfortable. Washing and drying woolen garments has to be done with caution as it shrinks easily.

There has been great progress made in the manufacture of fabrics over the years. The fleeces made of synthetic fibers, like polyester, offer the advantages of natural fabrics, like wool, without its disadvantages. Washing and drying is easy and shrinkage is minimal if not totally avoided. The fact that synthetic fabrics can be blended has added further versatility.

The fact that fabrics made from synthetic fibers can breathe is one of their big advantages. For those involved in outdoor activities like skiing or riding, this means that they stay dry even when exercising vigorously. Another great advantage is the fact that they are so light in weight. This means they are easy to pack, wear and even form a layer under other waterproof garments in very wet weather.

The development team of the company works together with well known figures in the sports world. This means that the products are designed to be as practical as possible, allowing wearers to move freely. Features like elasticized backs offer a more feminine fit for female wearers. Style and fit are tried and tested to ensure that wearers look as good as possible.

A number of the different collections, like the Evolution range, include warm fleeces. They come in a variety of colors like classic red, black, white and blue. Features on fleeces all add to their warmth and practicality, including lined pockets for warming hands and hoods that can be removed or adjusted.

On the company website one can view items according to activity, color and technology used. Images of the garments can be carefully examined. The garments are also sold by a number of other companies, including those selling equestrian gear, sailing gear and country clothing. Some of them offer deals like free delivery if a specific amount of money is spent on the site.

A Musto fleece garment offers those who spend much time outdoors the opportunity to stay warm and dry. They are able to move freely while doing all kinds of activities from yard work to riding, fishing and sailing. Add to this the fact that they are stylish too and it is no wonder they are so popular with those who both work and enjoy leisure activities outdoors in all kinds of weather.
