I have at least four HH suits. This like two others are shell suits without any insulation. Great for warm weather days!
Helly Hansen(HH) is a Norwegian manufacturer and retailer of clothing and sports equipment and a subsidiary of the Canadian retail chain Canadian Tire. Currently headquartered in Oslo, it was previously headquartered in Moss, Norway from its founding in 1877 until October 2009.
Helly Juell Hansen had been at sea since the age of 14 and in 1877, at
the age of 35, he and his wife Maren Margarethe produced their first oilskin jackets, trousers, sou'westers and tarpaulins, made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil. Over the first five years they sold around 10,000 pieces.
During the 1970s the company developed survival suits for offshore oil workers in the North Sea. In 1980 the company's breathable, waterproof fabric system, called Helly Tech, was launched. Helly Tech garments use both hydrophilic and microporous
technology. Hydrophilic garments have water-loving molecular chains
which pass water vapor to the outside. Microporous garments have tiny
pores that allow water vapor to pass out of the fabric without letting
rain droplets in.
Helly Hansen clothing developed a following among urban youth in the late 1990s, particularly in North England and with the hip hop culture in the US.[3] The brand developed a mass appeal and is now sold in sports shops, not only the hiking and specialized clothing shops of before.
In 2008 they launched Odin, a 3-Layer materialization system made for mountaineers. The Odin collection won the Red Dot Design Award the same year.[4]
In 2012, Helly Hansen introduced their H2 Flow Technology with
the H2 Flow Jacket. The H2 Flow Jacket allows the wearer to regulate
their body temperature.[5]
