The Story of Helly Hansen<\/h2>\r\n\"Winter\r\n\r\nHelly Hansen is over 140 years old. Suffice it to say that the Norwegian brand has considerable expertise - and a true heritage, even. Quite simply, it is a pioneering brand in the outdoor clothing and equipment field.\r\nThe story began with Captain Hansen and his wife Margarethe, who founded a company manufacturing oilskin jackets<\/a> and pants<\/a>, using cloth soaked in linseed oil to make them waterproof. Initially designing gear for the nautical world<\/a>, with sailors and navigators in mind, the brand soon developed a range for mountain lovers: skiers, explorers, mountaineers\u2026 Helly Hansen aims to equip all those who face harsh climatic conditions, whether on the water or the mountainside.\r\nSince then, the company has never ceased to innovate, to the point where it now offers high-performance, sturdy technical garments that are ready for the harshest weather conditions. Helly Hansen has developed several proprietary technologies, such as LIFA\u00ae, perfected in 1970, which at the time revolutionized the world of base layers with its ability to wick sweat outwards. Two decades later, LIFA\u00ae MERINO technology was another breakthrough, preserving maximum body heat when the mercury is well below 0 degrees.\r\nToday, the brand is a hit with ski<\/a> and sailing professionals, but it is generally aimed at all those who enjoy the great outdoors even when it's cold. Its product ranges have a rather simple, highly technical style and often include bright colours, making them instantly recognizable. Among other things, Helly Hansen is renowned for its lines of jackets for men<\/a>, women<\/a> and kids<\/a>, as well as for its down jackets, snow bibs<\/a> and ski pants<\/a>. They're all yours to discover!"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"What is Helly Hansen's \"Ski Free\" program?","text_content":"

What is Helly Hansen's \"Ski Free\" program?<\/h2>\r\nThe Norwegian brand's \"Ski Free\" program is quite simple.
