Helly Hansen

Helly Hansen, born by the sea, raised by the mountains, and trusted by professionals the world over, has been a prominent influence in the world of outdoor apparel for well over a century. Founded by Norwegian Captain Helly Juell Hansen and his wife Maren Margarethe in 1877, their eponymous brand built products such as oilskin jackets and pants, made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil. The quality was evident from the start; after only one year of production, the brand was awarded an excellence diploma at the Paris Expo. Not only did recognition come early, but it was contagious.

Helly Hansen has been at the forefront of creative items throughout the twentieth century, with the 3-Layer SystemTM being a proud piece of technological clothing. The 3-Layer SystemTM includes a base layer, a mid-layer, and an outer layer, all of which work together to provide the best possible protection from the elements in a way only the Helly Hansen team knows how.

New decades have brought new technology, with high-quality fleece and decisively waterproof and breathable materials leading the way to provide enthusiastic wearers with the finest of the best. When you zip into a Helly Hansen jacket, you know you're getting superb athletic wear, whether you're equipping the ideal hiking coat or snuggling up in an ultra-capable parka.
