Sportsmen and women all over the globe have trusted the Musto brand for the past fifty years. It was originally developed for sailors who wanted to enjoy their sport and stay dry. Riders feel the same way, they need to spend a lot of time outdoors in all weathers and need clothes that are up to the challenge.

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 Synergy Jacket combines many of these features and has quickly become a top seller. It is extremely warm and comfortable. The colors are classics and the sizing cut to fit. The air pocket technology works in a simple but efficient way to trap air and keep the rider warm. The light weight non bulky design is another valuable feature.

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.

The fleece jacket is also a great wardrobe staple. The zip front makes it very versatile and it can be used alone or as an extra layer for added warmth in winter. The 100% polyester fabric is great to wash and dry quickly and it also repels water. The fit is very flattering and riders can be confident they look good and are getting outstanding value for their money.
