1. The Story Of Helly Hansen
Founded by sea captain Helly Juell Hansen in Norway back in 1877, Helly Hansen and his wife Margrethe discovered an improved way to protect their sailors from the harsh Norwegian elements.
To begin with, they produced waterproof oilskin jackets, trousers, sou’westers and tarpaulins made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil. In due time, the brand won their first product award at the World Expo in Paris in 1878. From then on, the brand have continued to pave the way to successful functional everyday fashion.
In essence, Helly Hansen workwear is still worn to this day and trusted by professionals on oceans, mountains and worksites.
2. Let’s Get Technical
Impressively, for the past 140 years Helly Hansen have been developing and testing their technologies to ensure they deliver unbeatable performance. That’s right, 140 years! With this in mind, we have detailed below a few of the technologies that power their products.
LIFA®
Firstly, we have LIFA® technology which can be found in Helly Hansen base layers! In detail, the fabric is based on a yarn technology that wicks moisture away from the skin moving it to the surface of the fabric, it then evaporates, leaving the wearer warm, dry and comfortable.
LIFALOFT™
Secondly, unique LIFA® technology is combined with Primaloft® insulation to create LIFALOFT™! Creating more air pockets than standard insulation. To rephrase it, lightweight yet incredibly warm and usually found in Helly Hansen puffa jackets.
HELLY TECH®
Finally, Helly Tech® can often be found in Helly Hansen waterproof jackets! Crafted with a unique membrane designed to keep water molecules out, while allowing sweat vapor to pass through. In other words, keeping you dry from the outside and comfortable on the inside.
