Helly Hansen was established in 1877 by Captain Helly Juell Hansen, a sailor from Norway who noticed that there was not enough protective gear available to people when they were battling harsh elements out at sea. In the 1900s, the brand got bigger and became more popular, not only for the protective gear that they sold but also for their fashionable leisure clothing.
Today, the company still strives to manufacture professional-grade gear for a variety of sporting activities, such as mountain sports, skiing, sailing and outdoor activities. Helly Hansen has pioneered the movement for the highest quality gear, including producing innovative and breathable products through professional construction. Over 55,000 professionals use their skiwear, some of these people include national teams and Olympians.

Helly Tech® is an innovative technological system, that helps create a strong waterproof outer layer that has been designed to cope with the toughest weather conditions. It combines DWR- treated fabric and a breathable inner lining, fabric or mesh and can be used for professional, performance and protection uses. This tech keeps you dry whilst also allowing sweat vapour to get out so that users don't overheat.
Lifa revolutionised the industry in 1970 with the introduction of technical base layers. These help to keep individuals warm and dry by taking the moisture from their skin and transporting it to the surface of the fabric. This is perfect for those spending time in the world's harshest environments.

Helly Hansen and the RNLI have set up A Guide to Water Safety to make sure that you're fully prepared to go out on the water.
Check out the guide and follow the tips included on communication, flotation and preparation to ensure you're staying safe at sea.
Helly Hansen, along with their strategic partner, the RNLI, believes it's essential that people are aware of the safety precautions that can be taken to ensure you're as safe as possible when out on the water. Their research has shown that 62% of UK paddleboarders, kayakers and canoers don't see Personal Flotation Devices as an essential piece of kit. Given the fact there have been so many accidents this summer, it's crucial that you are aware of the correct and appropriate safety equipment to have with you when you're out on the water, including Personal Flotation Devices and safety straps.
