Helly Hansen coastal and mountain gear

Helly Hansen began in 1877 in Norway to outfit sailors against North Sea storms. That legacy led to waterproof jackets, insulated parkas and ski pants, among many others. Many outdoor guides and sailing crews trust its tested designs on decks and slopes.

Professionals and adventurers choose this gear because it's highly rated for heavy spray and sub-zero climbs. There are waterproof membranes and taped seams to keep you dry on the deck and ridge, and the lightweight shells pack into backpacks easily.

The different cuts range from slim ski jackets to relaxed expedition parkas by Helly Hansen with fixed hoods, and most of them have venting zips to regulate heat. Think about layering a gilet over fleece or slip into men’s designer hoodies underneath a hardshell for icy conditions.

Clothes by HH for the base and mid layers

Clothes by HH offers LIFA base layers and Merino wool tees that wick sweat on long hikes. You'll also find long-sleeve tops and crew-neck shirts that resist chills.

Some mid-layers include zip-up fleece pullovers, insulated gilets and softshell jackets with stretch panels. A Polartec fleece suits dawn surf sessions and coastal walks, while the designer fleece suits cool evenings by seaside chalets.

The base and mid-layers come in slim, regular and relaxed cuts. The slim zips hug your torso on rapid ascents, while regular pullovers rest at the hip, giving you more room for pack straps. The relaxed crew-neck models from Helly Hansen work for post-adventure downtime around campfires.

Pair Helly Hansen pieces for any forecast

Attach a waterproof shell to tapered waterproof trousers and lace up your boots when the rain looms. Add a fleece hood under a shell jacket for wind defence on exposed ridges, and secure your gloves to a utility loop to keep your hands free for rope work.

For unexpected evening events, you could layer a softshell over breathable tees or slip into a black shirt dress as an alternative layer and still feel elegant under your protective layers by Helly Hansen.
