Helly Hansen

Founded in 1877 in Norway, Helly Hansen has continuously refined its professional apparel to protect lives and help people enjoy life to the fullest.

With over 140 years of experience in technical clothing, Helly Hansen draws inspiration from the harsh Norwegian climate—designing solutions tailored to the world’s most demanding weather conditions. The brand's everyday exposure to extreme natural environments has led to a series of groundbreaking innovations, including the invention of the first waterproof fabric over a century ago.

Helly Hansen’s legacy includes other pioneering achievements, such as the first fleece fabric introduced in the 1960s, the first technical base layer made with LIFA® Stay Dry Technology in the 1970s, and the award-winning H2Flow™ system, a modern temperature regulation technology.

Today, Helly Hansen is a global leader in sailing, outdoor, ski, and workwear apparel. More than 55,000 professionals worldwide rely on its gear—including top sailors, mountain rescue teams, professional guides, and Olympic ski teams.

Its range includes outerwear, technical base layers, urban wear, and footwear, sold in over 40 countries and trusted by sports and outdoor enthusiasts around the world.
