Henri-Lloyd has launched two new Merino wool collections: AirWool, an advanced performance layer using award-winning Janus AirWool® technology, and the Merino 160 Collection, a range of everyday layering essentials. Both are designed to move effortlessly between the marina, the city and beyond, suitable for wearing as outer, mid or base layers depending on the conditions.
Both collections reflect Henri-Lloyd’s continued investment in merino due to its adaptability on and off the water. Merino wool naturally regulates temperature, manages moisture and resists odours, delivering lasting comfort and freshness whether you’re travelling, spending time on the water or enjoying everyday life.
AirWool: Advanced Merino Performance for Life on the Water
Developed in Norway, Janus has generations of wool expertise and spent more than 130 years pioneering high-performance wool garments for some of the world’s harshest environments. Henri-Lloyd selected Janus AirWool® for its outstanding natural performance which combines premium Merino wool with an innovative knitted construction to deliver exceptional warmth, breathability and natural temperature regulation in changing conditions. Janus’ patented technology creates an advanced knitted structure and a brushed interior holds warm air while still allowing excess heat and moisture to escape.
The Unisex range comes in a choice of black or navy/black colourways and in two sizes XS/S and M/L. The range is designed to be worn beneath technical sailing outerwear on colder days or on its own when conditions allow and includes:
- Hoody Merino retails at £160
- ½ zip Merino retails at £150
- Merino Gilet retails at £125

Tom McMullen, CMO at Henri-Lloyd, said: “Merino is becoming increasingly popular as consumers look for natural fibres that deliver performance, comfort and longevity. We’re seeing a growing appreciation for natural materials that work harder, last longer and have a lower impact. Our latest AirWool® and Merino 160 collection reflects this shift. Ultimately, the choice between merino and synthetics comes down to personal preference and intended use. Both materials perform exceptionally well at high intensity, both insulate when wet, and both can be highly breathable.”
Both the AirWool® and Merino 160 collection are available on henrilloyd.com and in-store.
