Great Value Musto Zara Phillips

By Kenya Campos


Back in 1964 avid sailor Keith Musto realized that there had to be a better alternative to the traditional sailing clothes he had been wearing. Finally sick of coming home soaking wet and cold, he began to research the possibility of producing a line of sailing gear that was waterproof, comfortable, stylish and affordable.

In the old days riding apparel was bulky, difficult to wash and rarely waterproof. All that has changed with the advent of the latest technology. New fabrics are weather resistant, light weight and above all easy to keep clean. The Musto Zara Phillips line of equestrian clothing has been extremely popular over the past few years because this is a line that really delivers.

Phillips is a well known name in the horse world. As not only a member of the royal family, but an accomplished equestrian in her own right, Zara really knows what riders need. When she began to design the clothes her aim was to create something she would wear herself, and not just a line that would carry her name.

Despite the glamorous image of equestrian sports the reality is that a lot of hard work is involved. Horses have to be cared for, exercised and shown in all kinds of weather. Having the very best clothes not only makes life more comfortable but also helps the riders and grooms to feel stylish in even the worst circumstances.

One of the best sellers from the ZP 176 line is the Synergy Jacket. This exceptionally well made jacket combines many features that riders love. It is super warm and utilizes air pockets within the lining to keep the rider warm. The close fitting Lycra cuffs ensure a snug fit and cut down on draughts. It is a very lightweight, yet extremely warm jacket that is perfect for winter wear.

The Warm Up jacket is another favorite. It is available in a dark blue or black and sizes eight to eighteen. The roll up hood is a great feature that really helps to keep the rider warm and snug. The outer shell is waterproof, windproof and breathable.

For those who have to be outside in all weathers the Warm Up Jacket is a perfect fit. It has a hood for those really cold days, but this can easily be rolled up when not in use. The outer fabric is wind and water proof, and also blocks the wind. The polyurethane and polyester blend is easy to wash and care for, which is another nice feature as being around horses is messy work.

For warmer weather the zip front sweater is perfect. It can be worn alone or as an additional layer under a jacket. The one hundred percent polyester fabric is light and easy to care for. It is also water repellent and fast drying. This is an essential feature for outdoor use. Riders often have to spend many hours outside at horse shows and need to stay warm and cozy.
