Henri Lloyd brings Gore-Tex to the Harbour

by Henri Lloyd Australia on 3 Jun 2013 Gore-tex® fabric has been synonymous with round-the-world yacht races, arctic expeditions and the like, all grueling endeavors pitting man against the worst that nature has to offer. The reason simply being that it is a wunder fabric, unparalleled in levels of protection, breathability and durability. But now, in Henri Lloyd’s new Gore-tex® Prism Inshore Jacket, all this technology is available to Inshore/Light Coastal sailors in Australia – at a more than accessible price (RRP $399).

Always pushing the barriers in marine textile technology, Henri Lloyd’s design team has utilised the Gore-tex® fabric technology in a two -layer construction with the tough high performance Gore-tex® membrane bonded to a robust, breathable lining. This combines to provide the user with superior protection from the wind, rain and the elements without compromising climate control and durability. The all-weather shell has been ergonomically contoured to reduce windage and weight.

Other key features of this versatile jacket include articulated body panels for ease of movement, shock cord adjustments at back and hem, quick-drying brushed mesh collar, shaped hood pod containing a Hi-vis fold-away hood, reinforced seat panel, micro fleece lined side pockets with water resistant zip closures, two way storm flap, internal storm cuffs and retro-reflective trims.

The Henri Lloyd Prism Inshore Jacket is available from leading marine retailers in Red, Optical White and Black, in both men’s (S-XXL) and women’s (XS-XL) styles. RRP: $399
