Musto is here to kit you out for all your post-lockdown adventures
Be it your daily walk to stretch your legs or a full-blown expedition, Musto’s Evolution collection is defined by an agility that will prepare you for anything
Summer 2021 is going to be a celebration like no other. With lockdown set to ease and the prime minister announcing 21 June as a date to keep in mind after which we may be able to return to our old lives (if various goals have been met), never has the great outdoors appeared so liberating.
From Land’s End to John O’Groats, across the Scottish Highlands, Lake Windermere and the coasts of the UK, adventures and holidays are just around the corner.
But this is still the UK – and being prepared for all environments is always a good idea.
Sportswear brand Musto works with leading fabric specialists, including Gore-Tex and Primaloft; with sportspeople from top-class athletes to Olympians; and combines their expertise with 50 years of clothing engineering, to create garments that protect the body from the elements.
In 1964 after he took home a silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics, sailor and engineer, Keith Musto, turned his hand to building sails. After years of taking the cold and wet as part and parcel of the sport, the sailor soon expanded his work, creating apparel that would protect the next generation of athletes. An autodidact, Keith learnt to manufacture clothes and began selling performance sailing wear that was endorsed by top sailors across the globe. From there, the Musto brand expanded into other performance sports and activewear, providing versatility for any adventure.
The versatility of the Musto kit, born from their routes in extreme sailing conditions and the need to protect the wearer whatever the weather; encompasses sailing, technical lifestyle, adventure-wear and country product – is a testament to the technology behind the garments, designed to take its wearer from sea to shore and to their next adventure.
