Some jackets tell a story, but very few carry the weight of maritime history like the Henri-Lloyd Consort. Originally designed for Sir Francis Chichester during his historic solo circumnavigation of the globe in 1966, this jacket became an instant icon of endurance and spirit. Today, exactly 60 years later, we are proud to present its modern successor: the Consort Round the World Race Jacket.
This is not just a tribute to the past. It is a contemporary re-engineering of a classic, built to deliver uncompromising protection for the modern sailor. Available in Navy, Light Olive, and Washed Yellow, it is engineered to be fully waterproof and windproof.
The durable two layer shell features an integrated membrane and fully taped seams, ensuring dependable defense against the elements while maintaining essential breathability. Every detail has been considered for your comfort, from the insulated collar and adjustable cuffs to the removable hood that allows you to adapt to changing weather in seconds.
Technical Excellence and Sustainability
What makes this jacket truly special is the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The sleeve is finished with the original Henri-Lloyd Round the World Race embroidery, a symbol of quality recognized by sailors worldwide.
Performance and Materials
Beyond its looks, the jacket is a technical powerhouse:
- Unmatched Warmth: The jacket features 250g of REPREVE® recycled PET loose-fill insulation, made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. This offers reliable warmth with a significantly reduced environmental footprint.
- Weather Protection: Finished with a PFC free durable water repellent treatment, it delivers a 10,000mm waterproof rating and a 3,000mm breathability rating for lasting comfort.
- Visibility and Safety: Reflective flecked shock cords and back webbing enhance your visibility in low light conditions, while the two way YKK® centre-front zip stays protected behind a button over storm flap.
Built for the Modern Explorer
Whether you are navigating the Adriatic or walking the coast on a stormy day, the Consort RWR is engineered for complete protection in challenging weather. It is more than a piece of clothing. It is an investment in quality, history, and performance that stands the test of time.
