The new Henri Lloyd TP2 Shadow 2G Jacket has nominated by the jury for a DAME Award 2008. This follows the success from the 2006 & 2007 DAME Awards when Henri Lloyd received a special mention for the TP2 Phantom Jacket – Women’s and Atmosphere Jacket respectively.
Since its introduction in 1991, the DAME Award has become recognised worldwide as the leading international competition of its type in the field of marine equipment and accessories.
Henri Lloyd has been nominated in Category 5 – Clothing and Crew accessories, alongside Crewsaver, Musto and On Deck – Imhoff. The announcement of the winner will take during the METS Breakfast Briefing on Tuesday 18th November 2008.
The TP2 Shadow 2G Jacket features the OPTIVISION Hood System, which is exclusive to Henri Lloyd, and offers excellent peripheral vision in racing situations. The OPTIVISION Hood System incorporates transparent TPU panels which have been engineered into each side of the high visibility hood, therefore allowing a wider peripheral vision without the loss of protection to the face. Perfect for windward or leeward peripheral vision during pre-start manoeuvring or close quarter action during mark rounding to give you that all important tactical advantage.
The jacket is constructed from Henri Lloyd’s 2.5 layer TP2 Alpha fabric technology, the fabric combines a hydrophilic laminate with a microporous coating offering dramatic performance results, whilst providing the breathability of a mid-layer alongside the waterproof protection of an outer shell. The fabric also ensures increased comfort and durability due to the inclusion of an improved Super Durable Water Repellent finish (SDWR) which has been engineered to reduce the diminishing effect that salt water has on regular water repellent finishes.
With a heavily loaded feature list as you would expect from Henri Lloyd, the full range consists of the TP2 Shadow 2G Jacket, TP2 Shadow 2G Hood Smock, TP2 Shadow 2G Smock, TP2 Shadow 2G Salopette and finally the TP2 Shadow Short. All the Shadow 2G products combine to provide the ultimate racing collection; the perfect system for all racing sailors from an SB3 to a TP52.
The jacket is available in Vivid Blue, Carbon & Light Grey in size XS – XXL and will be launched at the London Boat Show 2009 and available at retail from January 2009, RRP: £200.
