Story time: Helly Hansen
Helly Hansen is a traditional brand with a history dating back to 1877. The Norwegian brand, founded this year, was originally a manufacturer of workwear and workwear. Founder Helly Juel Hansen invented the first waterproof work jacket and then started the company to manufacture other waterproof workwear. Helly Hansen's production focuses in particular on clothing for sailors - the brand was originally used to produce linen soaked in linseed oil! In the 20th century, Helly Hansen finally switched to synthetic fabrics and began producing higher quality workwear, sportswear and outdoor wear.
Helly Hansen today
In the meantime, Helly Hansen has arrived on the international market and is worn by many athletes. The functional clothing is particularly suitable for outdoor sports such as hiking or trekking, and Helly Hansen designed a number of products such as ski jackets and ski pants especially for skiing. In the ski clothing scene and among the skiers who like to wear Helly Hansen in competitions, the brand is known worldwide. HH remains true to its number 1 focus - and the clothing is still widespread in the sailing scene and is also worn here at competitions.
Not only in sports, but also in the workwear sector, Helly Hansen is a respected brand for all those jobs that require safety and flexibility. Clothing from Helly Hansen is also suitable for working at home, for example for gardening, garage work, work in the basement or in the house. Helly Hansen is also known for always bringing out the best in protective clothing and workwear in the production of its clothing and for continuing to search for innovative, high-quality, water-resistant and comfortable clothing solutions. Helly Hansen thus expanded its product portfolio and also entered the shoe market with a particular focus on sailing shoes. In addition, the brand now also offers a whole range of accessories such as functional backpacks and bags.
