As the name suggests the Ultimate Cruiser Jacket and Hi-Fit Trousers have been engineered to be the ultimate in cruising apparel, available in both men's and ladies fits this range offers all the comfort, features and durability the serious cruising sailor demands.
Both the Ultimate Cruiser Jacket and Hi-Fit Trousers are manufactured using Henri Lloyd's unique highly breathable and 100% waterproof & windproof TP fabric.
The fabric has been further treated with a durable water repellency (DWR) finish, which helps shed surface water thus maintaining the performance and comfort of the products. The addition of reinforced Nylon on the seat and knees of the Hi-Fits and the lower back of the Jacket further improves durability.
The Ultimate Cruiser Jacket incorporates many of Henri Lloyd's unique features including the innovative OPTIVISION Hi-Vis foldaway hood that offers unrivalled peripheral vision, through the incorporation of transparent TPU panels which have been engineered into each side of the high visibility hood to offer unparalleled visibility for safety and function.
The articulated hood-pod stores the hood in such a way that the high level fleece lined collar which is ergonomically shaped fits without compromise. An adjustable throat guard ensures customised snug fit and minimal water ingress, whilst the zip is guarded with a fleece cover providing protection to the chin. The jacket also benefits from dual cargo and hand warmer bellow pockets, which feature an envelope seal closure. There is a secure zip fastening internal pocket and at the hem and back waist there are adjusters for a superior fit.
The Ultimate Cruiser Hi-Fit Trousers have been designed to offer a customised fit through the incorporation of batwing back waist adjusters and self adjusting shoulder straps. As with all Henri Lloyd Hi-Fits, they are articulated for ease of movement and contoured to reduce windage. The ladies version includes the convenient drop seat facility with inconspicuous side fastening zip openings whilst the male version comes with chest hand warmer pockets. Both versions feature a fast draining quick access leg pocket.
The range comes in a stylish range of colours including Red, Carbon, Marine and new for 2015 – Morning Cloud, and is available in sizes S-XXL (Men's) and XS – XL (Women's).
