Henri Lloyd is BMW Oracle Racing's marine clothing technology partner for their challenge for the 32nd America's Cup in Valencia.
Since October 2004 the specialist marine clothing brand has been involved in intensive joint development to provide a total clothing and footwear program for the BMW Oracle Racing team.
The company says this partnership has been the most extensive and far reaching clothing programme it has ever undergone with a sailing team. To celebrate the association, Henri Lloyd has designed a BMW Oracle Racing merchandise collection.
The selection of technical sailing garments includes a fleece, waterproof and windproof jackets, as well as a selection of polo, rugby and T-shirts.
Top of the range is the Velocity jacket, a replica of the high performance waterproof breathable jacket worn by the BMW Oracle Racing team. Made from TP2 fabric, the Velocity jacket is 100% waterproof and windproof and is extremely breathable. It also carries the GGYC Challenger logo, representing the challenging yacht club of the team.
The collection also includes the fast draining, high support, non slip and durable Aqua Deck shoe, developed in conjunction with the team and worn by the sailors during racing.
There are accessories including luggage, wallets, beanies and belts which all carry the BMW Oracle Racing team logo. In addition there is an America's Cup Heritage range, a more “retro” collection of onshore jackets, T- shirts and jumpers.
BMW Oracle Racing merchandise is available to buy via the BMW Oracle Racing online store, Henri Lloyd retail stores and the BMW Partner network. The Collection is also available at the Henri Lloyd Store within the public area of the BMW Oracle Racing team base in Valencia.
