HELLY HANSEN - ALIVE SINCE 1877

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!

Helly Hansen gear is worn and trusted by professionals on oceans, mountains and worksites. As the #1 apparel brand for Ski Professionals, you’ll find HH at more than 200 ski resort and guiding operations around the world, and worn by more than 55,000 ski professionals. Our sailing gear is worn by world-class sailors across all five oceans, and we’re proud to partner with and participate in some of the sport’s most iconic regattas and sailing associations. As a leading Scandinavian workwear brand, you’ll see us at work-sites where performance, protection and safety matter most. We continue to support Captain Hansen’s legacy through a long list of first-to-market innovations developed through insights from those working and recreating in the world’s harshest environments.

MOUNTAIN

Since 1877 Helly Hansen has worked with professionals in Norway to create gear so people can stay and feel alive in the beautiful but harsh Scandinavian outdoors.The insights drawn from outdoor professionals, their knowledge and experience have been instrumental in creating our mountain line of today.

SAILING

As the recognized global leader in sailing, our gear is worn by world-class sailors across all five oceans on anything from dinghies to 100ft foiling catamarans. In the Spring of 2020 we take another big leap and partner with the professionals on the American Magic team to change, shape and create the future technologies of sailing and win the 36th America’s Cup.

SKI

Since 1877 Helly Hansen has been delivering product solutions for those working in the outdoors. We believe that by focusing on the needs of the outdoor professional that we will exceed the needs of the recreational user and improve both of their experiences outdoors. Working with over 55,000 professionals in the ski industry, we utilize their feedback and experience to drive our product development process to consistently deliver products that meet the demands of the professional environment.

Toasty warm!
I wore the shirt during my first half marathon Just happen to be 30° With up to 24 inches of snow in many places. I stayed perfectly toasty the entire time I was on the trail. I would definitely buy that shirt again.

    This men's base layer, from Helly Hansen, is designed to be like a second skin, wicking moisture away from the body and helping to keep you dry and comfortable- and it lives up to the hype! The top is of typical Helly Hansen quality. BUT- as I have found for all HH gear, it runs small (my husband is normally a Large and the X-Large is a good snug fit). It's super lightweight and breathable. Warm when standing still but breathable during activity. The top is a nice slim cut and looks good too. He is currently wearing it in the snow in Niseko Japan and it's keeping him very warm under a standard fleece. Machine washable and quick drying, so it's versatile as well.

    This base layer top would have been rated 5 stars with the exception being that the cuffs on the shirtsleeve were a little loose as my wrists measure 8-1/2 inches. I prefer the sleeve's cuffs to be a good snug fit so air and snow cannot travel upwards. I have several older base layer tops and the sleeves' cuffs are a bit longer and tighter.

    Both items (the white T shirts and the Helly Hansen top) stink. I can't be sure what the smell is but it is extremely offensive. I can't wear them it makes me want to vomit. Please replace them.

    I have been using this skiing and working out in our basement. I cannot believe how well it removes sweat from your skin. I usually get very sweaty and cold after a good work out. Now I am not as cold, and the sweat dries really quickly. On the expensive side . Large is nice and comfortable, medium is a little tight for me in the chest, but completely fine. I am 165 lbs, 5'10, 32" waist, 40" chest.

    Great system by HH, 3 layers to keep warm in any kind of weather. Base layer, fleece mid, and water proof outer layer! Used this on a recent trip to Norway, and it worked great in all kinds of weather, from sea level, up to the top of the mountain, going through a place called Snowy Road, trapsing on the ice and tundra, way above the tree line.

    I bought this for my husband, fits him like a second skin for under his ski gear and he really likes it and finds it comfortable. Absorbs any sweat and helps keep him feeling dry and thus, warmer. Only problem is the material can snag easily but since it's "under wear" no one sees it, but me.... ;)
