Musto

Musto began in 1964, when Keith Musto, a British Olympic sailor, set out to make high-performance sailing clothing. In 1979 the brand introduced its three-layer system, and it has since added shooting clothing to its range, with equestrian clothing and accessories alongside.

The fabrics are what to look at. BR1 gives breathable waterproofing, GORE-TEX appears in some pieces, and reinforced stitching is there for longevity. You'll find weatherproof jackets, breathable fleece and baselayers, plus bags and luggage, for men and women.

The pieces are built for countryside sails and active outings, and they work in town too. Layer a lightweight fleece with chinos for the city, or put a weatherproof jacket over a baselayer for countryside walks.
