The brand focuses on the wear and tear of the exacting conditions exactly what the skiers and sailors need and therefore offers them protection and safety in their clothing. It does not mislead and its technology is still improving, and you too are in your hands.
In Norway in 1877, Marine Captain Helly Hansen found the way to be better protected in harsh Scandinavian conditions. Soaked cloth into flaxseed oil to obtain waterproof material. The idea took over and the material then made Hansen and his wife made big. In 1949, the material strengthened in its waterproof thanks to PVC and accompanied in 1952 by a Norwegian delegation at the Olympic Games in Helsinki. A few years later, Hansen produced the first fleece, followed by the production of other technological materials and enhancers.
Today, Helly Hansen is also committed to sustainability, thanks to its transparent supplier list, membership in the Ethical Trading Initiative and Bluesign. Additionally, their products are anti-bacterial free to avoid environmental pollution.
