The ZP176 Brand Is Very Popular In Equestrian Circles

By Arline Bradley


The undeniable sense of style that equestrian practitioners have has been known to be unique for centuries now. The ZP176 jacket has now been made to look sportier than ever before. It is been made to keep people warm whether you are riding a horse or just walking around. The designer of this collection is none other than Zara Phillips.

It all started in 1964 when a sailor who was not very happy about always having to be cold and miserable while enjoying his sport. He had no idea how to start producing clothing so he went to a few different manufacturers and spoke to them about improving some designs. They were not interested in what he had to say. He and a few others then decided to make clothing that was fit to be worn in a storm, protecting one from getting wet and cold.

He later went on to introduce shoes and boots. Handbags and sporting bags were a part of his brand as well. Not only were there walking, hiking and running shoes but some for skateboarding were made as well.

Polar fleece was first created in the late 1970s by Malden Mills. This was meant to mimic wool while still being light and strong. He did not want to patent this material as he wanted it to be produced cheap and to be spread to all corners of the world.

Depending on your style, most of them sport a protective high collar and has a stripe tape zip. The front pockets are made lower and have a zipped opening. The panels and the extra wadding give it great insulation and lots of freedom to move. Worn with jodhpurs and long boots it will give any rider style.

It supports all of wools best qualities but weighs much less. They are made in different thicknesses from 100 to 300 micros. It is hydrophobic, which repels water but still keeps its insulating powers. When washed it dries in half the time normal wool would and does not stretch like its counterpart does when wet.

If it is held up to a naked flame it tends to melt and not burn. It does have some disadvantages: e. G. It doesn't allow for perspiration to pass through and evaporate like wool would. It is not windproof and does tend to create static electricity. This will mean that it will be like a magnet to dust, pet hair and lint. Do not tumble dry it at high temperatures and for some of the cheaper quality it will cause piling.

This is a surface defect on textiles and is not very pleasing to the eye. It occurs while washing and wearing and gives the effect of little balls on the fabric. It creates loose fibers that are pushed to the surface of the material over time. Normally this would happen where the clothing receives the most day to day wear, thighs, collars and cuffs. Fabrics that are most likely to do this are wool, nylon, acrylic and polyester. Some of them will however fall off over time. The longer the fiber the more they will tend to have this characteristic.

This specific make of jackets comes in different sizes, ranging from 8 to 18. The color is of a pepper chilli and is available for either male or female. If one so wishes, they will deliver to your doorstep or even overseas.
