The Development Of The Musto Fleece Range

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.

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.

The introduction of synthetic fibers changed things considerably. Now fleeces could be made with fabrics like polyester. These fabrics had a number of advantages over natural fabrics. For example, they could be washed and dried very easily without shrinkage. Synthetic fibers can be blended together as well, offering great 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 designs of these garments are created in consultation with top sportsmen and women. This means that they are extremely practical and allow complete freedom of movement without sacrificing style. Various features, like elasticized backs, make them body fitting without being restrictive in any way.

There are a great selection of warm fleeces in red, white, blue, classic red and black from the Zara Phillips, Signature and Evolution collections. The features on these garments are all designed to add to their practicality, such as hoods that can be adjusted or removed, front zippers with roll over chin guards and lined hand warmer pockets.

The company website offers information about styles, colors and sizes of all garments as well as providing an insight into the origins of this brand and the innovative technologies it uses. The garments are also available at other online stores. It is important to check whether these are reputable suppliers with satisfactory terms and conditions before placing orders. It is possible to find special offers and sales of these garments online.

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.
