About Us
Born on the Water. Built for the World.
Henri Lloyd has been outfitting adventurers, sailors, and explorers since 1963. What began as a mission to protect those who dared to push beyond the horizon has grown into six decades of technical innovation, marine heritage, and a relentless commitment to performance.
Our Heritage
Founded in Manchester, England in 1963, Henri Lloyd set out to solve a problem that had long plagued seafarers: clothing that simply wasn't up to the demands of the open ocean. Our founders pioneered the use of technical fabrics and precision construction to create weatherproof garments that could withstand the harshest marine environments — without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement.
From the earliest offshore racing circuits to the world's most demanding ocean passages, Henri Lloyd became the trusted choice of sailing pioneers. Our garments have been worn on record-breaking voyages, Olympic podiums, and the decks of vessels navigating some of the most unforgiving waters on earth.
Over 60 years on, that founding spirit remains at the core of everything we make.
Australia & New Zealand
Henri Lloyd Australia, operated by CK HULO PTY LTD, is the exclusive distributor of Henri Lloyd across Australia and New Zealand. From the rugged coastlines of the Southern Ocean to the sheltered bays of the Whitsundays, our garments are designed to perform wherever the water takes you.
We work closely with the sailing community, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday adventurers across both markets, bringing world-class technical apparel to those who demand the best from their gear.
As a family, we understand the importance of creating durable, comfortable, and stylish clothing that can withstand the demands of an active lifestyle. That's why we're dedicated to offering you the best of Henri-Lloyd's products, designed to keep you comfortable and protected in any weather conditions.
We also want to introduce you to our two sons. They are our inspiration and motivation, as they share our love for the ocean and the great outdoors. Their enthusiasm fuels our commitment to providing top-notch products that cater to the needs of sailors and adventurers of all ages.
Together, we're excited to embark on this journey with you. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a casual outdoor enthusiast, we invite you to explore Henri-Lloyd's collection and discover the perfect gear for your next adventure.
Thank you for being a part of our Henri-Lloyd community!
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Performance and responsibility are not opposing forces — they are the same pursuit. Henri Lloyd is committed to reducing our environmental footprint at every stage of the product lifecycle.
- Recycled Materials: Our Dri-Fast Polo is crafted from 100% recycled polyester, giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.
- PFC-Free Technology: The Biscay Jacket features our DRI PRO shell technology — a high-performance waterproof finish that is completely free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFCs), protecting both you and the environment.
- Responsible Innovation: Across our range, we continue to transition to recycled and responsibly sourced materials, without compromising on the technical performance our customers rely on.
We believe the ocean deserves to be protected as fiercely as it has inspired us. That belief shapes every product decision we make.
Built to Last
At Henri Lloyd, quality is not a marketing claim — it is a standard we have upheld for over six decades. Every garment is engineered to perform in demanding conditions, constructed to endure season after season, and designed with the kind of considered detail that only comes from deep experience.
We make clothing for people who take their environment seriously. Whether you are racing offshore, cruising coastal waters, or simply living an active life by the sea, Henri Lloyd is built to go the distance with you.
