What makes Helly Hansen gear a good choice for sailing and offshore boating?
Helly Hansen gear is trusted by professional sailors and outdoor enthusiasts because it combines waterproof protection, wind resistance, and breathable comfort. Their Helly Tech® fabrics help keep you dry in harsh marine conditions while allowing moisture to escape during active use.
What is Helly Tech® fabric technology?
Helly Tech® is Helly Hansen’s proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric system designed for wet and demanding environments. It protects against rain, spray, and wind while helping regulate body temperature and comfort during sailing, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
How do I clean and maintain Helly Hansen foul weather gear?
For best performance, follow the care instructions on the garment label. Most Helly Hansen jackets and foul weather gear can be machine washed with mild detergent on a gentle cycle.
