S2. Ep. 1 - Kit Without Chemicals with Henri-Lloyd

Like most things sailing, our kit has undergone massive transformation over the centuries, evolving from heavy, water absorbent natural fabrics like wool and canvas and leather to today's lightweight, high-tech synthetic materials designed ultimately for waterproofing performance and comfort. But at what cost?Our highly engineered, highly advanced laminated and membrane fabrics do undergo intense waterproofing processes to become such, and as a result, over the years have contained plenty of forever chemicals like PFC's, perfluorochemicals.So how can we be thinking about high performance and sustainability in our modern kit? Podcast host, Holly, is joined by two pros of Team Henri-Lloyd to find out.
