From Norway, Helly Hansen has been manufacturing equipment of professional quality to help people stay and feel alive for more than 140 years. It all started in 1877 when sea captain Helly Juell Hansen found a better way to stay protected from the harsh Norwegian elements. Shortly afterwards, Captain Hansen and his wife Margrethe started a company that made waterproof jackets, trousers, souwesters and tarpaulins made of coarse linen soaked in linseed oil - and the legend was born!

Helly Hansen's equipment is worn and trusted by professionals at sea, mountains and workplaces. As the number 1 clothing brand for ski professionals, you will find HH at more than 200 ski resorts and guiding activities around the world, and is worn by more than 55 ski professionals. Our sailing equipment is worn by world-class sailors across all five seas, and we are proud to collaborate with and participate in some of the sport's most iconic regattas and sailing associations. As a leading Scandinavian brand for workwear, you see us in workplaces where performance, protection and safety are most important. We continue to support Captain Hansen's legacy through a long list of innovations that are the first to the market developed through insights from those who work and recreate in the world's toughest environments.
