HELLY HANSEN

Helly Hansen: a brief biography

Founded in 1877, Helly Hansen is a globally recognized producer of sportswear and accessories. Originally focusing upon creating cold-proof, waterproof, and survival clothing for use in the freezing North Sea, Helly Hansen has since applied many of its patented technologies to Alpine and Nordic sports apparel. In particular, Helly Hansen developed the original wicking technology, a range of hydrophilic fabrics that draw moisture away from the skin whilst retaining high levels of breathability. This led to the design of clothing that is 100% waterproof, a claim that Helly Hansen prides itself upon. Helly Hansen has gained a cult following amongst urban sportswear enthusiasts and is valued both for its timeless brand appeal and for its lifetime warranty.
