From Norway, Helly Hansen has been developing professional-quality equipment for over 140 years.
It all began in 1877 when Captain Helly Juell Hansen found a better way to protect himself from the harsh Norwegian elements.
Shortly afterwards, he set up a company producing waterproof jackets, and the legend was born!
