A Musto Fleece For Winter Warmth

By Eula Nichols


The Musto fleece was developed by a British Olympic sailor and engineer. His aim was to develop a garment that could protect sailors exposed to all sorts of weather conditions whilst out at sea. He decided to use synthetic fabric that he had to ship from America. His first garments proved to be so popular that the range grew to include those suitable for all types of outdoor activities.

For centuries natural wool was regarded as the best defense man had against cold weather. Sheep were sheared and the wool was made into yarn. The yarn was used to make jackets, coats, hats, gloves and other items that proved to be durable, resilient and soft. However, natural wool had a number of disadvantages too. It required great care when washing and drying to prevent shrinkage. The bulky garments were also heavy to wear, particularly when wet.

The manufacture of synthetic fibers brought about a complete revolution in fabrics. Synthetic fiber fleeces offered many advantages over natural fabrics. Initially, the fabrics produced were not as soft or luxurious as natural wool but this improved over the years. Washing and drying these fabrics was very easy. Advances in technology meant they could be blended to add to their versatility.

The breathable nature of synthetic fibers is of great benefit to those who are active outdoors like riders and skiers. This quality means that moisture surrounding the body is wicked out, leaving them dry. If they get wet in showers of rain, they dry extremely quickly. The fact that they are lightweight means that they can form a layer under another protective coat.

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 is a top of the line garment that ensures warmth, comfort and stylishness at the same time. It allows for freedom of movement while engaging in any kind of outdoor activities, from work to play. Those who spend hours outdoors in cold weather appreciate these garments that offer real protection from the cold and damp of winter.
