Zara Phillips, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and daughter of Princess Ann, is a well respected equestrian in Britain. She has had an illustrious riding career to date, reigning as Eventing World Champion from 2006 to 2010. She won a silver medal at the Olympics hosted in London in 2012 which was presented to her by her mother. Her dedication and success in the equestrian field made her a natural fit with the Musto brand and a Zara Phillips clothing range was developed.
The development of a range of equestrian garments by Musto was just a matter of time. Like sailors, riders too are exposed to the elements and need to remain as warm and dry as possible. Phillips was a great ambassador for the brand and her collaboration in production of this range was a logical one. She is known on the world stage for her equestrian successes, including winning the Eventing World Championship in 2006 and a silver medal at the Olympics in 2012.
Who better to collaborate with the development of a range of equestrian products than someone who had made a name for herself in this popular sport? In 2009 an announcement was made that Phillips was to be involved in producing a range of equestrian garments for Musto. These products would carry the logo ZP176, which was the team number she rode under when first representing Britain.
All the practical experience she acquired in her many years as a rider could now be utilized in making these products as comfortable as possible. Stylishness was also important to her and this shows in the cut of the garments, with articulation built in to the sleeves and other features allowing for free movement. The garments were also well tested, making sure of their quality and durability.
The range developed consists of items such as a training jacket, a soft shell jacket, a gilet, a hooded top and a fleece lined jacket. It was launched in 2010 and the photo shoot showed this lovely young equestrian wearing the garments and looking extremely stylish. The attractive designs and quality fabrics used for these garments have made them a favorite in equestrian circles.
Waterproof jackets provide reassuring protection on early morning rides, whether it is raining or not. The rain is kept out by a water repellent finish and taped seams. The fabrics used are breathable too, enabling any body moisture to be wicked out.
This range is available from a number of suppliers, most of which have online websites where photographs of items can be viewed. One can compare items with regards to design, color, features and prices. The right size must be selected and sizing guides are included to help with this.
In recent years, the features on these garments have increased their practicality without taking away from their style. For example, fleece lined pockets may be included, well positioned for keeping hands warm. A hood may be removed and adjusted. Cuffs have adjustable studs. Vents at the rear of the garment make it fit well over the saddle. Zippers with a pommel flap in front help with fit and comfort too.
The decision to combining the expertise of the Musto brand with the practical experience of a dedicated equestrian to produce the Zara Phillips clothing range was inspirational. These garments are extremely comfortable, keeping riders dry and warm in any conditions. However, at the same time the distinctive designs allow one to look stylish at the same time.
