Helly-Hansen Sailing Glove for Long Voyages

For over 140 years, Helly Hansen has been producing professional-grade gear from our home in Norway to help people stay and feel alive. It all started in 1877 when sea captain Helly Juell Hansen sought a better way to protect his sailors from the harsh Norwegian elements. Captain Hansen and his wife Margrethe launched a business producing waterproof oilskin jackets, trousers, sou'westers, and tarpaulins made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil – and the legend was born.

Helly Hansen gear is trusted by professionals on oceans, mountains, and worksites. As the apparel brand for Ski Professionals, you'll find HH at more than 200 ski resort and guiding operations around the world, and worn by more than 55,000 ski professionals. Our sailing gear is worn by world-class sailors across all five oceans, and we're a proud partner for some of the sport's most iconic regattas and sailing associations.

We continue to support Captain Hansen's legacy through a long list of first-to-market innovations. In 1949, we introduced Helox, a revolutionary waterproof fabric featuring a thin sheet of translucent PVC plastic sewn into coats. In 1961, we partnered with Norwegian Fiber Pile Inc. to develop the original Fiberpile – the first fleece. Our LIFA technical baselayer, introduced in 1970, revolutionized the industry by moving moisture away from the body. In the 1980s, we launched Helly Tech, a waterproof and breathable fabric that set the new standard for performance and protection.

The Prowool (now HHWarm) baselayer, launched in the late 90s, combined Lifa Stay-Dry Technology with Merino wool for moisture transport and added warmth. In 2004, we expanded into professional-grade footwear, and in 2008, we introduced the award-winning Odin gear for serious mountaineers and athletes.

In 2012, we unveiled the H2 Flow Technology, featuring an airflow venting system and a protective barrier to help adventurers regulate their body temperature. In 2015, we launched the Magni line, setting a new standard for protection, durability, and performance in the workplace. Our most award-winning jacket, the Elevation, was introduced in 2016, combining a new Helly Tech Professional fabric with unparalleled breathability, protection, and temperature regulation.

To commemorate our 140th anniversary in 2017, we introduced The 140 Collection, featuring the key technologies of our history with retro stylings. Helly Hansen continues to be a trusted brand for professionals and enthusiasts alike, staying true to Captain Hansen's vision of helping people stay and feel alive.
