Helly Hansen has been synonymous with trusted protection in rough weather for over a century. Founded in 1877 by a Norwegian sea captain, Helly Hansen began by making oilskin coats to keep sailors dry on stormy seas. The brand never stopped innovating – they invented the modern layered clothing system and developed today’s advanced Helly Tech waterproof-breathable fabric for ultimate performance. From ocean racers to ski patrollers, professionals rely on Helly Hansen gear to stay safe, warm, and dry in extreme conditions.
Helly Hansen also pairs its drive for performance with a commitment to the environment. After 140+ years, the company remains dedicated to protecting the oceans and mountains that inspire its gear. It uses recycled and Bluesign®-approved materials where possible and designs products to last for many seasons, reducing environmental impact. By advocating for responsible enjoyment of nature and continually improving its sustainability, Helly Hansen ensures its legacy will benefit adventurers and the planet for years to come.
