Helly Hansen holds the title as maybe the most common brand seen on working ski patrollers on slopes everywhere. That should be enough to tell you about the kind of gear they like to make. With a long history in making garments for sailors working in nasty conditions, Helly Hansen knows how to create extremely high performance pieces for the worst weather conditions you can find.
Instead of relying on other companies to produce waterproof membranes or breathable fabrics, Helly Hansen committed to create their own. Helly Tech offers high level waterproofing performance in the worst conditions, and their Lifa fabric was one of the world's first breathable fabrics to be used in technical base layers as an alternative to wool. You'll also find insulated ski gear with their Lifaloft series. Partnering with Primaloft insulation and combining it with the Lifa fabric construction, they can build insulated pieces that are both lighter and warmer than your typical insulated ski jacket.
Helly Hansen offers a wide selection of ski equipment. From insulated resort pieces to backcountry freeride kits, there's something for everyone and how they explore their mountains. Check out their shells for lightweight and more versatile use, and insulated pieces for bomber gear in the coldest, windiest, wettest, and gnarliest of weather.
