Wazza's Thoughts

This is the proper offshore armour, built from Henri-Lloyd’s top 3-layer fabric, tough as hell, but still cut to actually fit women. The big win? The drop seat. Finally, you don’t have to strip off half your gear just to go for a wee mid-passage. Sounds like a small thing, but out there it’s the difference between misery and sanity.

Reinforced where it matters (seat, knees, hems) so you can slide, crawl, or plant yourself on a wet deck without shredding your kit. Pockets are in the right places, straps are adjustable, and it dries fast instead of hanging damp for days. Reflective bits for night work too.

Best for women doing proper offshore miles who need kit that actually works with them, not against them. If you’re serious about being out there all day, all year, this is the pair you want.
