Founded in 1877 by Captain Hansen and his wife Margreth, Helly Hansen made vests, pants and tarpaulins with linseed oil. Today Helly Hansen is worn and approved by professionals on oceans, mountains and yards. The brand continues to support Captain Hansen's legacy through a long list of innovations suitable for the most hostile environments.

The brand has also been adopted by urban peoples. Highlighted by the french rap group NTM in the 90s, the brand is now back on the streets!
