Snow and Rainwear

Helly Hansen From our home in Norway, Helly Hansen has been making professional grade gear 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. Soon thereafter, Captain Hansen and his wife Margrethe launched a business producing waterproof oilskin jackets, trousers, sou’westers and tarpaulins made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil – and the legend was born! 1877: Captain Helly Juell Hansen Launches A Legend Norwegian captain Helly Juell Hansen wanted to find a better way to protect his sailors from the harsh, Nordic weather. By applying linseed oil to cotton canvas, he created supple, water-proof apparel. Soon after, he and his wife Margarethe started producing “oilskin” jackets and pants in Moss, Norway. Their waterproof gear was an immediate success, landing our first product award at the World Expo in Paris in 1878. 1970: Lifa – The Birth Of Technical Baselayer HH’s LIFA revolutionized the industry with the introduction of the first technical baselayers. LIFA moves moisture away from the body allowing users to stay warm and comfortable. It has been used by professionals on every ocean, many of the world’s tallest peaks and was included in Outside Magazine’s list of The Most Influential Gear of All Time in 2012. LIFA remains the cornerstone of what we believe is the best technical baselayer available today. 1984: Helly Tech – The Waterproof And Breathable Solution Helly Tech waterproof and breathable fabric was launched in the 1980’s, winning awards and setting the new standard for performance and protection. It also provided the final layer for the 1986 introduction of the Helly Hansen 3-Layer System, an industry-first program educating people on how to dress for the outdoors. Today, Helly Tech fabrics are engineered to deliver the specific demands of professional’s skiers, sailors, and at workplaces around the world. 2012: H² Flow – A Better Solution For Temperature Regulation Helly Hansen introduced the new H2 Flow Technology in 2012 with the H2 Flow Jacket, which won an Award for Design Excellence from the Norwegian Design Council. The patented H2 Flow Jacket features an airflow venting system and a protective barrier. It allows adventurers to efficiently regulate their body temperature. 1877 1970 1984 2012 About Helox Since 1949, Helox has been an important step in Helly Hansen’s rain-wear history. The transition from oil garments to plastic started. The very successful Helox garments made from PVC were launched, giving Helly Hansen a head start on the competition due to extensive material research abroad. The Norwegian delegation all wore Helox during the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki. Each Helox+ purchase comes with a PU repair kit, enabling you to repair your garment rather than buy a new one. How to use the PU repair kit Cut the patch to the required size Set iron to wool setting (148 degrees Celsius) Lay the repair patch shiny side down onto the outside of the damaged area Lay a dish cloth on top of the patch Hold the iron on the dish cloth for 15 seconds Remove iron and dish cloth.
