 The invisible man models our jacket The jacket and polo are not exclusively sailing garments but also could be worn when walking the dog in the park, however I was most definitely sailing in the Solent when I recently tried them out to see just how good they really are. The jacket is a wind and water proof model made from a very lightweight material with an internal mesh to help wick moisture away from the skin. The jacket has two pockets on the outside, and a zipped inside pocket plus a seperate phone pouch, which I found fitted my new Nokia 6280 perfectly. The jacket performed well and its light weight ensures it packs into almost nothing (very handy when space is at a permium in a cabin) and you can choose whether to wear a seperate fleece under it or not. During our Solent sailing sessions, the jacket was perfect for those warm summer evenings right through to a force 3-4 breeze in the afternoon. It would certainly be my jacket of choice during the summer months when making small day trips. If more warmth is required, you just add a jumper or a fleece and put on the jacket over the top, which gives you a bit of flexibiltiy. The Henri Lloyd Polo has a good quality feel about it and is a very very comfortable; and the material has a quality feel to it as well. The polo is a quality product, it looks great, feels great and is a pleasure to wear. Henri Lloyd might evoke that conventional smart casual look but it seems that they are trying to reposition themselves so their apparel has more youth appeal, and I think it will be a successful move.
