Henri-Lloyd’s GORE-TEX Ocean Racer Jacket is 25% lighter than its predecessor. Made with the super strong GORE-TEX Ocean Technology® membrane, this garment does not need a lining which reduces water retention and maximises breathable performance. It’s inherent strength and weight minimises wind profiling and prevents conductive heat loss.

The Extreme Hood is constructed from 3 layer GORE-TEX and stows away into the articulated ‘Ocean Hood Pod’ which allows for an improved fit and greater comfort. The Extreme Hood provides ‘Owl Vision’ with 3 adjustment options to give a close fit that moves with the wearer’s head. To reduce water absorption and increase long term comfort, the collar is lined with Rentex® quick drying mesh.

The sleeve construction is ergonomically contoured to be close-fitting and features internal Dartex® storm cuffs and adjustable outer cuffs. There is a fast draining E.P.I.R.B. or knife pocket on each outer sleeve and quick access front stow pockets with water resistant Riri® Aqua Zips.

The jacket uses a waterproof Riri Storm Zip which eliminates the need for a double storm flap. The back adjustment facility helps contour the jacket to the wearer’s profile and removes any excess bulk at the front. Schoeller Keprotec® tear and abrasion resistant fabric is used to reinforce the front pockets and lower back of the jacket. This breathable fabric uses Kevlar® thread and is five times stronger than steel, gram for gram – with a Nanosphere Super DWR (durable water resistant) finish impregnated into the fabric to minimise water absorption whilst allowing water vapour to escape.
