The range was also shortlisted for the prestigious Dame Award 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe id=\"gkstfcayky\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisingworld.dragonforms.com\/gkstfcayky\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"width:100%;height:165px;border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed over three years in collaboration with brand ambassadors, including Vend\u00e9e Globe and Ocean Race sailors, Ocean PRO is engineered to redefine extreme-weather protection through innovation and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core technology is the world\u2019s first 4-Layer Hybrid Membrane Stretch Fabric, which delivers enhanced waterproofness, breathability, and flexibility compared to traditional offshore textiles. The fabric is rated for survival-grade waterproofness (35K) and exceptional breathability (14K). Overall, the unlined Ocean PRO garments are 17% lighter than comparable competitor products, offering easier packing, storage, and faster drying times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ocean PRO represents a major leap forward in offshore protection,\u201d said Knut Frostad, Executive Chairman at Henri-Lloyd. \u201cIt\u2019s not just built to withstand the ocean \u2014 it\u2019s built to empower sailors to perform at their peak, sustainably and comfortably, for longer than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features and Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ocean PRO range includes specialized Offshore Jackets (men\u2019s and women\u2019s), a Hybrid Smock (unisex), and Hi-Fit Salopettes (men\u2019s and women\u2019s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hybrid Smock:<\/strong> This innovative design is the first fully-zipped offshore smock with a removable collar, providing the protective seal of a smock but the ventilation and accessibility of a jacket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offshore Jacket:<\/strong> Features include the Optivision Hood System, a removable face mask, photoluminescent safety details, and a removable inner jacket neoprene skirt to prevent wind and water ingress in extreme conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fabric Composition:<\/strong> The technical specifications include a 100% recycled Polyamide Face Fabric, PFOA-free and PFC-free microporous coating and hydrophilic membrane, and Cordura stretch reinforcements at high-wear areas like the seat and knees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability and Testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Henri-Lloyd emphasized sustainability, noting that the range\u2019s face fabric and mesh backing are sourced through pre-consumer recycling and verified by the Global Recycling Standard (GRS). The gear minimizes environmental impact by removing PFOA, PFOs, and other &#8220;forever chemicals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ocean PRO line was extensively tested across multi-day ocean passages. Vend\u00e9e Globe sailor Sam Goodchild, one of the ambassadors who provided feedback, commented, \u201cI\u2019m very proud to be a part of the Henri Lloyd team who have a great heritage and experience in Offshore Sailing. It is great working with the team who are all enthusiastic and motivated to get Henri-Lloyd back to the top of the offshore race world. I\u2019m excited to be part of this ambitious adventure!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ocean PRO range will be available for purchase starting in March 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new line boasts the world\u2019s first 4-Layer Hybrid Membrane Stretch Fabric, featuring 35K waterproofness and a 17% weight reduction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":61557,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"BS_author_type":"BS_author_is_guest","BS_guest_author_name":"Cruising World News Desk","BS_guest_author_url":"","hydra_display_date":"","hydra_display_updated":false,"arc_story_id":"","arc_website_url":"","arc_subtype":"","arc_exclude_from_feeds":false,"sponsored":false,"sponsored_label":"Sponsored Content","sponsored_display_label":false,"post_right_rail":true,"post_right_rail_ad_1":true,"post_right_rail_ad_2":true,"post_right_rail_ad_3":false,"post_right_rail_ad_4":false,"post_right_rail_recirc":true,"fixed_anchor_ad":true,"post_top_ad":true,"post_off_ramp":true,"post_taboola":false,"labels":true,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","ad_settings_ads_on_this_page":true,"ad_settings_automatic_ad_injection_into_the_content":true,"ad_targeting":"","alternate_title_newsletter":"","alternate_content_newsletter":"","sponsored_image":false,"sponsored_url":"","social_share":true},"categories":[163],"tags":[336,665,157,1280],"class_list":["post-61556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gear","tag-apparel","tag-foul-weather-gear","tag-gear","tag-offshore-sailing"],"acf":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
