This summer, Bermuda will be playing host to the 35th America's Cup, where the British Challenger Land Rover BAR, will be competing to bring the cup home.
As official technical clothing supplier to Land Rover BAR, we've been pushing boundaries to create some of the best in class race gear, built with speed and performance in mind, the collection, created in collaboration with the team, combines huge technical advancements in sailing clothing, and brings a sleeker look to the overall team kit.
Alongside our distinguished sailing lines comes a new line of event memorabilia; The Race to Bermuda collection and the Land Rover BAR Replica collection. Pieces designed not just with team support in mind, but fashioned with Henri Lloyd's technical expertise. This makes the collection an excellent choice for whatever sport you choose to play. Not to mention the only pieces to be seen in when supporting the British team this summer!
Race to Bermuda Collection
From the casual navy raglan t-shirt to official sponsor and graphic printed accessories, there's a huge range to choose from - our favourite is the #BRINGTHECUPHOME embossed design – patriotic and supportive!
This new line of supporters tees and polo's are fashioned in our Cool-Dri technology where inbuilt reflectors keeps you at your optimum temperature on the warmest days. The Cool-Dri technologies reflect 65% of the sun's UV rays and contain an SPF of 50 even when wet. The fabric also holds your skin temperature within 1-2 degrees, and the fast drying yarns enable sweat to dry quickly, and most importantly leave your garments low maintenance after each wash – no need for ironing so perfect for travelling with.
All t-shirt styles are made with a thin collar for a comfortable fit and modern aesthetic as well as coming with antibacterial finish. The polo shirts are fantastic smart-casual pieces and also comes in a choice of colourways, the polos feature the official team graphics and side hem vents.
The range also features the Race to Bermuda Freedom Cap; this cotton twill cap comes with the Land Rover BAR and Henri Lloyd logo detailing on the back and front, as well as having an ultra-fast drying peak. One size fits all with the slider adjuster at the back and, like the t-shirts, the cap too is UV protected, which is ideal for sun glare.
