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...

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....

When trying to keep my 5 year old amused I often take her to the libarary and let her choose her own books. She always chooses books thats really stand out and I can see instantly why this book appealed to her.
