A Musto Riding Coat Offers Comfort And Style

By Marissa Velazquez


An innovative brand of clothing was developed in Britain in the 1960s by Keith Musto, a British Olympic sailor. He was looking for a product that would provide great protection against the elements for sailors. This brand developed over the years and an equestrian range was introduced too. The Musto riding coat is one of the products in this range and it is appreciated by riders for its quality, durability, comfort and style.

The brand has become well known in the equestrian world. Zara Phillips, daughter of Princess Ann, and well known equestrian, has collaborated in designing a collection for the brand with a new sporty look. This range incorporates technical fabrics to keep riders protected in and out of the saddle.

The riding jackets of today are very different from those worn in the past. They are made from lightweight fabrics like polyester and the inner linings are of fabrics that are breathable. Any moisture around the body is driven by chemicals through the garment so that the wearer remains warm and dry. Seams are taped, making the garment extremely waterproof too.

These garments are constructed in such a way that they are extremely durable and they are suitable for wearing even in extreme weather conditions like pouring rain. A water repellent finish means that drops of water do not penetrate the fabric, reducing weight and drying time. So not only do they let unwanted moisture out but they do not allow the garment to become sodden from the outside either.

The designs of coats have improved over time, becoming more stylish and comfortable. One example of such an improvement is the way sleeves are designed with articulation cut in for more freedom of movement. The length of coats is also carefully considered to prevent discomfort when mounted on the horse. Vents in the back of the coats allow for good positioning over saddles. Designs feature double-ended zippers in the front, often with an extra flap of fabric.

These products may be bought at various local stores and from online suppliers. Online sites have sizing guides to assist with choice of the correct size and most sizes from small to large are available. The fit of the garments can be altered in some ways. For example, an adjustable drawstring allows one to nip in the waist, creating a good shape and fit. Studs on outer cuffs are also able to be adjusted.

Features on such coats are all designed to make these garments more practical and comfortable. For example, many have fleece lined pockets that are well positioned for keeping hands warm. The hoods are two-way, adjustable and able to be removed.

A Musto riding coat is valued for its comfort, quality and stylish appearance. It is made of innovative fabrics that are waterproof, windproof and breathable. The problem of a leaking, heavy jacket is a thing of the past. An item like this is well worth the cost as it lasts for many years, makes one look good and offers comfort and freedom of movement at the same time.
