Winter Is Easier With Musto Fleece

By Jeannie Chapman


Now there is a way to stay warm and still look great during all your winter activities. Musto fleece is designed with equestrians, sailors, and skiers in mind, but every man and woman who wants to keep the winter chill out while making a fashion statement should know about this line of sportswear. Now you can have the warmth of wool in a carefree synthetic fabric.

Fleece used to refer to the wool on the back of a sheep, which was sheared and turned into yarn. The yarn was knitted or woven into fabric or garments to keep people warm during cold weather. Wool stays warm even when wet, and is flexible enough to allow freedom of movement. With proper care, woolen sweaters, jackets, coats, or blankets can last for years.

However, everyone is familiar with the drawbacks to wool. Many people are allergic to the natural fiber, while others find it scratchy. Moths love to eat it, so summer storage is tricky. Machine-washing is usually not a good idea, although wool can be blended with synthetic fibers for easier care. Drying with heat almost always causes shrinkage with pure wool, often making a garment small and dense.

However, a synthetic facsimile has come forward to challenge the long-time winter favorite. Usually made all or mostly of polyester, this versatile material has improved over the last few years until it is virtually perfect for indoor and outdoor cold weather wear. Moths don't eat it, machine washing doesn't hurt it, and even dryers do OK, although tumble drying is not recommended by manufacturers.

Synthetic fleeces are warm. They wick moisture away from the body and dry very quickly, which is great for drizzling days or quick dashes from one shelter to another. Although they are not windproof, they are so lightweight that they can be layered with wind and water impermeable shells that stand up to the weather. They are so good at what they do that they're becoming standard winter wear for sailors, skiers, equestrians, lumberjacks, and others who work and play outside.

Musto makes high quality outerwear for those who want to look great while staying warm. Their stable and riding jackets are good examples of functional fashion, with features like four way stretch to make both riding and ground work safe and comfortable. There is a special waterproof line for foul-weather sailing, as well. The jackets are tailored and are long enough to keep you warm while bending and stretching.

The company website shows many designs in a wide choice of color. Jackets, neck 'tubes', and headbands make hours spent outside pleasurable rather than miserable. The look is streamlined, with the warmth of the fabric itself eliminating the need for bulk. From vests to hooded barn coats, these fashionable fleeces fit the needs of all who work or play outside.

If you're an outdoors kind of person, you should check out Musto fleece. This modern-day substitute for wool offers carefree outdoor wear with superior performance and fashion sense. There's no reason to spend time shivering - or hand-washing your warm clothes, either.
