It all started in 1877 when sea captain Helly Juell Hansen found a better way to stay protected from the harsh Norwegian elements. Soon thereafter, Captain Hansen and his wife Margrethe launched a business producing waterproof oilskin jackets, trousers, sou’westers and tarpaulins made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil – and the legend was born!
Helly Hansen gear is worn and trusted by professionals on oceans, mountains and worksites. Thanks to the brand’s continuous research to develop increasingly resistant products, with innovative techniques and fabrics, the brand has become number one for skiing, sailing professionals and all those who seek extra performance, protection and safety in their outerwear.
