The functional clothing is not waterproof but is made from a robust 4-way stretch fabric with 92 per cent recycled polyester. A PFC-free water-repellent coating protects against spray and light rain. The trousers are breathable, quick-drying and crease-resistant.
The Henri Lloyd Explorer Range is designed for active users who expect style, comfort and functionality, whether on board or ashore. Inspired by hiking and climbing trousers, the collection combines technical performance with casual design. At its heart is a double weave 4-way stretch fabric that moves effortlessly with the body while retaining its shape.
Recycled material with water-repellent coating
The fabric is made from 92 per cent recycled polyester with spandex content. A PFC-free water-repellent coating (DWR) protects against spray and light rain, while the material remains breathable and quick-drying. The highly abrasion-resistant coating ensures durability - the Explorer pieces can withstand repeated wear on deck and on land.
The material weighs 260 grams per square metre, light enough for summer and robust enough for everyday use. A practical advantage: the trousers and shorts are crease-resistant. No ironing necessary, even after days in the duffle bag.
Explorer Skort: shorts under the skirt
The Explorer Skort offers the functionality of shorts with an integrated stretch mesh inner short concealed under an outer skirt. A laminated waistband with belt loops and press stud fastening ensures a comfortable fit. A concealed zip pocket at the front and a patch pocket at the back offer storage space, while two slanted side pockets complete the features.
The skort is available in sizes XS to 2XL and comes in four colours: Navy, Ice, Black and Titanium. The price is 110 euros.
Explorer Short: For men and women
The Explorer Short also costs 110 euros and is available in both women's sizes (XS to 2XL) and men's sizes (30 to 40 inch waist). It has a secure zip pocket on the back and a waterproof zip pocket on the side - practical for a smartphone, keys or wallet. Two slanted hand pockets, belt loops and an embroidered Henri Lloyd logo on the central belt strap round off the design.
The shorts are available in Navy, Ice, Black and Titanium. The comfortable fit and secure pockets make them a versatile choice for sailing, hiking or everyday wear.
Explorer 3.0 Trouser
At 156 euros, the Explorer 3.0 Trouser is the top model in the range. It has a patch pocket on the back and two waterproof zip pockets on the sides. Concealed hem adjusters at the ankle allow for a customisable fit. The stylish comfort cut and secure pockets make the trousers so versatile that they should also work for everyday wear beyond the bar.
The trousers are available in waist sizes from 30 to 40 inches and come in five colours: Ice, Titanium, Navy, Black and Charcoal. The price is £135.
For an active life on and off the water
The Henri Lloyd Explorer Range is aimed at sailors with an active lifestyle. Anyone who not only needs functional clothing on board, but also wants to look good ashore, will find a practical solution here. The trousers are robust enough for everyday life on board, but stylish enough for the restaurant or bar.
The recycled material and PFC-free coating show that Henri Lloyd is committed to sustainability. The collection is now available via the Henri Lloyd website and selected retailers.
