Henri Lloyd

Specialist marine clothing, footwear and accessories brand Henri Lloyd, has partnered with the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing as their official clothing supplier for the 2011/12 Volvo Ocean Race, an event where we have supplied crews for several decades.

The key to successful sailing gear is to offer protection that maximises the wearer's comfort and performance in the varied conditions experienced on the different legs of the race. Henri Lloyd’s aim is to ensure every crew member has the specific clothing requirements to enhance their performance during this gruelling race.

The team will be kitted out in the Henri Lloyd Ocean Pro range; constructed using GORE-TEX® Pro Shell with OCEAN TECHNOLOGY, they have all the qualities you’d expect for extreme ocean sailing, while the next to skin and mid layer clothing play an equally important role to ensure the crews long term comfort and performance as well as UV protection.
