O que este vídeo aborda
Knut Frostad, former Volvo Ocean Race CEO, presents Henri Lloyd's new Ocean Pro collection after three years of development, targeting offshore racers and cruising families alike.0:05 The range was tested across 35,000 hours with roughly 14 active testers, including offshore sailor Sam Goodchild, the Barba expedition crew, and family sailors.1:05 Key design goals were reducing weight by 30 percent versus competing products while matching their waterproofing ratings, and eliminating all PFC, PFCA, and C-Zero chemical water-repellent treatments — a first for an offshore jacket line.7:35 The collection uses sailmaker-style 45-degree bias panels for stretch, a split wrist cuff to eliminate bunching, and full reflective seam strips for night-watch visibility.1:45 A standout piece is a dry top with a waterproof front zipper and removable collar, designed with Class 40 and Imoca sailors who needed faster on/off than latex-seal drytops allow.5:12 The mid-layer perforates its fleece lining for ventilation, and base layers blend merino wool with synthetic fiber to prevent the snagging on winches that pure merino caused.4:03 A complete three-layer set is priced around 11,000 Norwegian kroner, launching in March.8:34
