Musto Backpack

Advantages: Washes well, keeps you warm and looks ok too
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...I spend a lot of time outdoors, both through work and in my leisure time, so the approx. £100 investement for my Musto was well worth it. I have had it since xmas 2006 and it has been treated pretty badly throughout that time! I am a large animal and equine vet and wear my coat for work most days, so it really has had a tough time! This means my coat has to be relativly smart but also practical in any situation. In the last year it has been used to pad the floor under lame horses, as a foal blindfold and, more than once, to mop up blood! It has washed well everytime (in my normal washing machine) and dries within 24hours inside. I would think it has been washed over 25 times since I have had it. All the zips are still perfect and there is no signs of wear and tear at all. Despite all the washing, it has never let in the rain yet... Read review

Advantages: snug, good range of colours, good fit
Disadvantages: quite pricy,

...Expect to pay around £100 for this coat. I used to sail but now my time is spent mostly riding and looking after horses and i adore my SNUG blouson! Apart from being very fashionable in both sailing and riding the coat is extremely warm for both sports. The coat is only showerproof so not much use on extremely rainy days however, it is windproof and does an excellent job. The coat comes in several colours and also available with inner lining colour and outershell combinations. I practically live in my coat as it looks good with jeans, jodhpurs and i have been spotted wearing this with denim skirts..... i think that this is the best blouson around and is well made and of course has musto's reputation of excellent products to support it....

Advantages: Good waterprrof suit
Disadvantages: None

...I am a keen sailer and I needed a drysuit when i came to the UK, as i wasn't prepared to get cold and wet all the time whilst dinghy sailing. A trip to the local yacht chandlers revealed a host of drysuits, but the one that caught my eye was a "last years stock" Musto Yachting drysuit. As you can guess, as it was last years stock - the new ones were coming in soon, and the price had been dropped in expectation of recieving new stock. It turned out to be a good buy. I've had it for over 3 years, and having looked after it well, it is still waterproof. A good buy overall.... Read review
