Helly Hansen represents Norwegian expertese in waterproof outdoor wear, be it for sailing, hiking, skiing or fishing. The manufacturer is in tight cooperation with the professionals who spend more time at sea than they do at home. Easy to recognize, iconic Helly Hansen jackets are a common sight on both land and sea.
The brand was founded by Helly Juell Hansen in 1877. He began producing oilcloth jackets, sou’western and tarps with his wife. The very next year their products were given a diploma regarding their excellent quality. Exports started briefly after.
Helly Hansen has kept developing new materials: the Helox plastic membrane came out in 1949, offering complete protection from water, while also being lighter than preceding materials. The technical LIFA material, used in sports base layers, was developed in the 1970’s. Breathable and waterproof HellyTech apparel was introduced in 1980.
Helly Hansen also produces high quality duffel bags and footwear for different uses, ranging from sailing to snowy city streets.
