Helly Hanson Workwear
Helly Hansen Founded in 1877 by Norwegian sea captain Helly Juell Hansen and his wife Maren Margarethe, Helly Hansen began with a mission to protect sailors from the harsh Nordic climate. By soaking coarse linen in linseed oil, they created the first supple, waterproof oilskin jackets and trousers, which quickly earned recognition at the 1878 Paris World Expo.
Throughout the 20th century, the brand pioneered key protective technologies, in 1970, establishing a signature three-layer, moisture-wicking, and protective workwear formula. Over 140 years later, the company has evolved from its maritime roots to become a global leader in professional-grade workwear.
