Helly Hansen was founded in 1877 by Norwegian sea captain Helly Juell Hansen and his wife Margrethe. They pioneered waterproof maritime apparel by soaking coarse linen in linseed oil, creating durable, flexible, and water-resistant gear for sailors facing harsh Nordic weather.

Helly Hansen produces high-performance outdoor gear including waterproof jackets, pants, base layers, footwear, and accessories. Their products serve professional sailors, skiers, mountaineers, and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide, blending technical innovation with durability and comfort.

Helly Hansen introduced groundbreaking materials like Helox in 1949, a translucent waterproof fabric, and developed the HELLY TECH system in 1984 for breathable, waterproof outerwear. Their three-layer system, comprising base, insulating, and protective layers, became an industry standard for outdoor apparel.

Helly Hansen gear is trusted by professionals in sailing, skiing, and mountaineering. Their durable and functional products have earned the brand a reputation for reliability in extreme environments, widely used in competitive sports and expeditions.

The three-layer system includes a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating mid-layer, and a waterproof, breathable outer shell. This layering approach allows users to adapt to changing weather conditions with maximum comfort and protection.

Helly Hansen’s combination of historic innovation, maritime roots, professional-grade technology, and stylish design makes it a trusted brand for serious outdoor adventurers and professionals alike.
