Celebrating more than 140 years of innovation, Helly Hansen began 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, and other sailing gear, and the legend was born! Whether you are a sailor, skier, snowboarder, you will appreciate the rugged durability of Helly Hansen. Whatever your island pursuit may be, Helly Hansen will help you stay warm and dry!
