Outstanding Quality With Zara Phillips Clothing

By Eula Nichols


Riders today expect the very highest performance from their riding jackets. Gone are the days when spending time outside meant coming home wet and cold. Serious equestrians have nothing but praise for the ZP 176 line of Zara Phillips clothing. Working in conjunction with the well known outdoor outfitters, Musto, the well known rider and member of the royal family has also lent her talents to designing a functional yet stylish line of outdoor clothes.

This talented rider is in a unique position to design the clothes. As a member of the royal family it is not surprising that she has grown up in the saddle. Both her parents were Olympic riders and she herself has also competed at this level in the highly demanding sport of eventing. Her first hand knowledge of the horse world has been vital to knowing exactly what riders need.

The Musto company has been in business since 1964 when founder Keith Musto decided to produce his own line of sailing gear. At that time sailors had no practical clothing to wear and were resigned to coming home soaked and freezing. Keith felt there had to be a better way and set about designing water proof jackets, hats and trousers. His efforts were so successful that the company is still running today and doing better than ever.

One of the major factors concerning riding wear is that it must be water proof. Horses must be exercised no matter what the weather and riders are just tired of coming home soaked. Knowing there is a jacket that will live up to all the promises is something they take very seriously. By incorporating all the features of their sailing jackets, Musto have been able to make a truly water proof, yet breathable jacket at a very affordable price.

In addition to the water proofing, the jackets are also tailored to the needs of a rider. They are not bulky and do not restrict movement. Carefully placed vents allow for comfort in the saddle and are perfect for those who spend most of their day riding, such as professional trainers. Even the shirts have amazing attention to detail, including micro polyester pique fabric that wicks moisture away from the body to keep riders comfortable in all weathers.

There is also a complete line of Musto manufactured clothing for children. This includes wonderfully designed sweaters, polo shirts and riding jackets. The colors are bright and appeal to the youngsters, yet are practical enough to make any parent happy. They can be assured the clothes will stand up to even the toughest little boy who practically lives out doors and loves to get dirty.

Children have not been left out of the line at all. As a mother herself Phillips knows just how important it is to offer parents some fun yet functional clothes for their children. Jackets are made to the same exacting standards as the adults, and sweaters combine fun colors with rugged construction.

Equestrians all over the country are loving the new Zara Phillips clothing line. At last they have found a designer who has successfully combined style with function. Each garment is of only the highest quality and guaranteed to perform to the very highest standards. Riders know they are getting real value for money.
