Equipment

Clothing

- Polar Breeze Hooded Jacket: a lined technical jacket with a 10,000 mm water column, Dri-Pro membrane and designed for cooler, wet conditions.  
- The target audience comprises sailors such as regatta organisers and support crews in changeable weather conditions involving low levels of physical exertion.  
- Sherling Cosy lining, recycled insulation in the sleeves, ergonomic fit; men’s model available in four colours, sizes S–3XL, price £195.

Henri Lloyd Polar Breeze: Cosy even on cold days

- Henri-Lloyd is launching two merino ranges: AirWool, a warm mid-layer for sailors, and Merino 160, lightweight shirts for on board and everyday wear.  
- AirWool utilises a knitted, internally brushed 3D structure from Janus to create air pockets for insulation whilst simultaneously wicking away heat and moisture.  
- Merino 160 bridges the gap between functional base layers and casual shirts; both ranges emphasise temperature regulation, moisture-wicking and odour control.

- Gill Savona 2.0: a lightweight, quick-drying sailing shoe with a grippy, non-marking sole and reinforced toe and heel areas.  
- Upper made from mesh, synthetic fabrics and ripstop; Air-Cell insole for shock absorption and compatibility with external insoles.  
- Available in Navy and Quarry, sizes 39–47, priced at 95 euros, making them more affordable than comparable models from Musto and Zhik.

- The Turbulence is designed for sporting use with anti-fog ventilation, whilst the Lightflow A combines lifestyle design with an adjustable fit suitable for everyday wear.

YACHT 12/2026: Prepared for all weathers!

- Offshore oilskins offer maximum protection in cold and strong winds, but are heavy, expensive and usually oversized for typical summer cruising.  
- Inshore models are lightweight, breathable, space-saving and sufficient for most cruising sailors in summer, but require additional midlayers in cold weather.  
- The test winner offshore is the Henri-Lloyd Ocean Pro, in the inshore sector the Musto LPX Gore-Tex 2.0; the price-performance tip is the Helly Hansen Pier 4.0.

Oilskin test: we tested eleven bad weather suits

- Ocean Pro includes jacket, high fit bib and smock made of 3-layer, waterproof DRIpro material for offshore and extreme conditions.  
- Key features: padded knees, detachable storm flaps and cuffs, hood with viewing windows, lots of pockets, close-fitting cut.  
- Smock with tight neoprene cuffs and safety button, ladies' version with dropseat; high prices, but test winner offshore and maximum functionality.

Henri Lloyd Ocean Pro: Technical oilskins with sophisticated details

- Lightweight, three-layer inshore oilskin with hood and basic reinforcements, but does not look high quality overall.
- The biggest drawback is the narrow, non-elasticated shoulder straps with a hard plastic buckle, which cut into the skin when squatting.
- The fit is too wide and not close enough to the body, looks like it is one size too big and remains unsatisfactory despite the adjustment options.
