Three jackets under one new range
Henri-Lloyd has expanded its Breeze collection with the Breeze, Cool Breeze and Polar Breeze jackets, all intended for marine organisations and working teams. The company announced the expanded range on 16 October ahead of displaying the garments at Metstrade in November.
All three jackets use a consistent outline but offer different levels of insulation. That approach is intended to let marina teams and yacht crews maintain a recognisable uniform while choosing garments for varying conditions.
The Breeze provides a waterproof outer shell
The basic Breeze is described as a lightweight shell with 10,000mm TP1 waterproof protection and fully taped seams. Henri-Lloyd states that the garment uses a PFC-free construction and can be supplied with a hood that packs away into the collar.
For people working on decks or around marinas, a lightweight shell can suit changing conditions without becoming unnecessarily bulky. The maker's waterproof figure is a laboratory rating, however, and actual comfort will also depend on how the jacket is used.
Cool Breeze and Polar Breeze add warmth
Cool Breeze retains the same overall styling but incorporates fleece lining through the body. The aim is to provide more warmth without changing the appearance of the uniform worn by colleagues in lighter shells.
Polar Breeze is intended for colder duties, adding a warmer lining and insulated sleeves while retaining waterproof construction. Teams may therefore specify different versions for deck staff, shore-based employees and event personnel.
Sizing, colours and corporate branding
Henri-Lloyd offers separate men's and women's fittings, with a variety of colours including navy, black, white and other tones. Discreet branding has been incorporated so organisations can add their own company marks.
The company has stated a starting retail price of £155 for the lightweight model, rising to £195 for warmer versions. Exact prices and combinations depend on the selected garment and configuration, so buyers should consult current supplier information.
Why marine companies are the target
Deck crews and marina employees do not all face identical working conditions, even during the same shift. One common style across several warmth levels can help operators issue garments more appropriate to each role.
The announcement is a new product-range expansion rather than a technical certification of clothing for every offshore activity. Selection for exposed or safety-critical work should still account for the relevant operating environment and protective requirements.
