Helly Hansen - The pioneer in tough conditions apparel

Helly Hansen has been a pioneer and explorer in the world of professional apparel for the world’s toughest climates ever since captain Helly Juel Hansen invented soft, waterproof clothing made with flaxseed oil in 1877.

We have worked in partnership with Helly Hansen for many years. Among other things, Helly Hansen has produced the tailor-made apparel that our on board teams use on our expedition cruises all over the world for their work in demanding weather and windy conditions.

Their products are used by over 55,000 professional skiers, olympic athletes, national teams, ski resorts, rescue companies, and mountaineering operators all over the world.
