Helly Hansen

The story of Helly Hansen started in 1877. After many years at sea, Norwegian catain Helly Juell Hansen began producing oilskin jacktes, trousers, and tarpaulins made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil. The heritage from Helly Juell Hansen is still fundamental in the products they produce to date. Today their gear is used by world-class sailors, skiers, and adventurers who spend their time between human will and nature's forces, and demand full protection and performance when the conditions are at their worst.
