HELLY HANSEN

The Helly Hansen story started over 140 years ago when a Norwegian sea captain and his wife decided to launch a clothing range for those facing the harsh weather of the fjords and mountains. The hostile climate of the Norwegian Sea and Arctic Ocean gave birth to his idea to produce clothing to face the changeable weather conditions. In 1877, aged 35, he ended his sailing career to create the brand that is recognised by professionals today as the benchmark for mountain gear.
