Helly Hansen Heritage

The story of Helly Hansen started in 1877. After many years at sea, norwegian captain Helly Juell Hansen and his wife Maren Margarethe began producing oilskin jackets, trousers, sou'westers and tarpaulins, made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil.

They certainly struck a nerve in the market, because over the first five years they sold approximately 10,000 pieces. In 1878 the company won a diploma for excellence at the Paris Expo, and began exporting its products.

In the 20th century, Helly Hansen made several breakthroughs in product development to complete the layering principle today known as the 3-Layer System™. In 1949 the Helox, a thin sheet of translucent PVC plastic sewn into waterproof coats, took over for the oilbased outerwear and became the must-have protection for outdoor use. With a production of 30,000 coats each month the success was almost immediate.

The original fleece, the fiberpile, was developed in 1961 and has been perfected for almost 50 years since. This new insulation layer was warm, lightweight and fast-drying, ideal for wearing under the protective layer. It was soon embraced by workers because it offered extraordinary insulation against the cold, and ventilated well during hard, physical work. It even protected against snow and light rain, staying extremely durable and warm after many washes.

The layering story was completed in the 1970s, with the development of LIFA. This wonder-fiber, used in LIFA, kept the skin dry and warm by pushing moisture away from the body, making it the ideal baselayer fabric for outdoor and workwear use. The latest generation of LIFA is still used in our baselayers today.

In 1980, the Helly Tech technology was launched, using both hydrophilic and microporous technology, which meant the apparel was both waterproof and breathable. This meant that anyone who participated in high-activity outdoor sports could expect their clothing to work with them, not against them. The evolution of breathable, waterproof jackets had a profound effect on the outdoor industry. Helly Hansen now produced technical outerwear garments.

The heritage from Helly Juell Hansen is still our cornerstone. Today our gear is used by world-class sailors, skiers and adventurers who spend their time between human will and nature’s forces, and demand full protection and performance when the conditions are at their worst.

 

Comment prendre soin de vos articles Helly Hansen/How to take care of your Helly Hansen gear?

Baselayer: For best results wash HH Dry and HH Cool in 40 degree water with a mild detergent and hang to dry. For HH Warm wash on wool program using wool detergent and hang to dry.

Do not dry Clean. Do not tumble dry. Do not Iron. Keep away from heat source.

Fleece: Wash in warm water with mild detergent and hang to dry. Tumble drying puts unnecessary wear and tear on garment and causes premature pilling. Do not dry clean or iron. Should be washed with other synthetic clothing (polypropylenes, polyesters, nylons, etc) so lint does not build up on it during washing.

Helly Tech & Other Shells: Wash in maximum 40 degree water with a technical wash product. Make sure to secure all Velcro® adjustments, zip up all zippers including main zipper and adjust all draw cords to minimize ability to tangle around wash machine agitator.

Do not use fabric softener as it breaks down Helly Tech and do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean or iron.  

You will need to apply an after market water repellency treatment as required.

Footwear

Leather –  Dry the shoes with a dry cloth to absorb moisture. Never dry in unnatural conditions or direct sunlight. Apply an oil based, neutral leather cream to the shoes, in order to retain the value of the grain. Do a patch test in a discrete area before applying all over. If discoloration occurs, remove cream immediately.

After being exposed to salt, clean with a brush or wet sponge as soon as possible to maintain the integrity of the product.

Synthetic – Wash away any stains with water and a brush.  Some synthetics can be washed in a washing machine at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (refer to the care instructions provided in the box).  Dry shoes at room temperature using paper to absorb moisture. Never use a dryer."
