The mid layer is your insulation — the warmth that sits between a wicking base layer and a waterproof shell, trapping heat without bulk. Softshells add wind resistance for milder days when a full jacket is too much. Read more ↓

Henri Lloyd Mid Layers & Softshells

Between the base layer that keeps you dry and the shell that keeps out wind and water sits the mid layer — the part of the system that actually keeps you warm. Fleece and technical insulation trap body heat without adding bulk, while softshells bring wind resistance and water repellency for the many days when conditions don't justify full foul-weather gear. Henri Lloyd's mid layers are cut to work as part of a layering system, slim enough to sit comfortably under a jacket yet warm enough to wear on their own.

This collection includes fleece mid layers, insulated jackets and gilets, and wind-resistant softshells. Breathable construction lets moisture escape so you don't overheat when the work picks up, and articulated cuts keep movement easy whether you're layered up offshore or sailing in a softshell on a mild afternoon.

Mid layer or softshell?

Choose a fleece or insulated mid layer when warmth under a shell is the priority — on passage, in cold water, or for winter racing. Choose a softshell when you want wind protection and light weather resistance in one breathable piece for milder, drier conditions. Many sailors carry both and switch as the day changes.
