130 years ago captain Helly Juell Hansen started to produce waterproof clothing for sailors.
Since then Helly Hansen has been a pioneer in the development of high quality protective technical wear for work and leisure activities.
Our experience and competence allow us to create and produce clothing to be worn in extreme work situations, where quality and functionality directly affect the wearer’s well being, health and safety.
Helly Hansen Workwear also provides a wide range of tailor made solutions within textile engineering.
How to avoid sweating and freezing during high energy work at cold temperatures?
Polypropylene baselayer fibres do not absorb moisture. Body Perspiration is transported away from the body. The body stays dry and warm.
WELL-BEING, PRODUCTIVITY AND CONCENTRATION ARE ALL ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE GET TOO WARM OR COLD. DRESSING CORRECTLY STARTS BY CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE UNDERWEAR. HELLY HANSEN WORKWEAR HAS DEVELOPED THE LARGEST AND BEST COLLECTION OF WORKWEAR UNDERWEAR TO KEEP YOU DRY, WARM AND COMFORTABLE IN ALL CONDITIONS.
When you are physically active your body produces heat and moisture. If your body becomes too hot, it feels uncomfortable and your ability to concentrate is impaired. At the same time, if you perspire and your underwear becomes wet, the risk of excessive heat loss is high. So during varied activities in cold conditions you are likely to become too warm and then too cold, depending on the intensity of activity.
In summertime, too
This also happens in summer when temperatures are higher. Heat and perspiration can often feel uncomfortable and irritating. Reduced comfort at work will affect your well-being and efficiency. At the same time we know that your ability to concentrate is impaired even by small changes in body temperature. Keeping comfortable, warm and dry is therefore also important for safety reasons.
Years of experience
For several decades Helly Hansen Workwear has developed underwear for extreme sports and expeditions. Based on this experience we have launched Helly Hansen Bodywear, a unique workwear underwear collection. Helly Hansen Bodywear is made from polypropylene and absorbs no moisture, provides excellent ventilation and pushes perspiration away from the body. As a result you avoid cooling down during breaks or periods of lower work intensity – and you stay dry, warm and comfortable.
Let conditions guide your choice
Not all underwear is equal, and different fabrics perform well in different conditions. You should take into account temperature, intensity of physical activity and the duration of the job when choosing underwear. Helly Hansen Base layer Bodywear’s ability to transport moisture makes it the best choice for hard and varied activity in moderately cold conditions, or for those who move regularly between indoors and outside work.
Wool absorbs more moisture than polypropylene, but has excellent insulating properties. Helly Hansen Wool base layer is recommended for moderate to low activity in severe cold.
HH Crafter Fleece is extremely hardwearing and durable. Insulates. Ventilates. And looks smart at work.
IN WINTER IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE EXTRA INSULATION BETWEEN YOUR UNDERWEAR AND OUTER CLOTHES. DURING STRENUOUS ACTIVITY YOU SHOULD ALSO DRESS TO AVOID PERSPIRING AND BECOMING TOO WARM. CRAFTER FLEECE PROVIDES GOOD INSULATION, ALONG WITH EFFICIENT MOISTURE TRANSPORTATION AND WIND RESISTANCE.
Fibre pile, which provides very good insulation, is recommended for cold days with a low or moderate activity level. However many people find that they become too hot and start to perspire when temperatures are moderate and the work is intensive. On days like this Helly Hansen Workwear’s Crafter Fleece comes into its own.
Warm and dry
Fleece jackets and sweaters form the thermal layer under the protection layer.
They can also be used as outer clothing on cool days. Crafter Fleece garments keep you warm by trapping body heat between the fleece fibres. At the same time, the fabric releases excess heat and provides good ventilation.
High comfort
Crafter Fleece is made of spun polyester yarn which has been brushed and heat processed. Because the fibres are synthetic, they do not retain moisture so the garments dry quickly and resist light rain and snow. Warmth in relation to weight is very good, resulting in light, functional garments. Our attention to design and comfort also makes Crafter Fleece™ suitable for indoor use.

Can 100% waterproof clothing let moisture from the inside evaporate and escape?
HH Helly Tech work clothing has a membrane that lets moisture evaporate from the inside, while water molecules on the outside will not pass through the waterproof membrane.
THERE IS A GROWING NEED FOR WATERPROOF WORKING CLOTHES THAT ALSO TRANSPORT PERSPIRATION. THE REASON IS OBVIOUS: THEY ARE IDEAL FOR WORKING OUTDOORS. THEY KEEP YOU DRY AND COMFORTABLE ALL DAY – IN THE SUN, THE SNOW AND THE RAIN. AT HELLY HANSEN WORKWEAR, WE HAVE BEEN MAKING CLOTHING LIKE THIS FOR YEARS, USING OUR UNIQUE HELLY TECH FABRIC SYSTEM.
Everybody who works outdoors knows the challenge. You want to keep dry in rain, snow and sleet, yet avoid perspiration and condensation. That is why Helly Hansen Workwear developed Helly Tech®, the unique fabric system used in our collection of waterproof, breathable garments. Today Helly Tech® garments are worn by workers in large and small companies all over the world. They include the Italian Railways, the Danish Postal Service and the Norwegian Police and Armed forces.
Keeps you Dry
The garments in the Helly Tech collection release condensation and perspiration, while keeping rain and snow out. More than 20 years of experience with waterproof clothes that transport moisture, in addition to a thorough knowledge of materials and design, has ensured the production of first-class garments.
Helly Tech®-fabrics are constructed either with a thin film that transports moisture or by applying several thin layers of polymers to the reverse side of the fabric. For all practical purposes both systems work well. They are equally efficient at releasing body moisture. At the same time the micro pores in the fabric are too small for water molecules to penetrate from outside. All seams are sealed to ensure that the whole garment is waterproof.
Superior in Tests
Our know-how is demonstrated in our choice of the best materials and most advanced construction techniques. Yet it is still important for us to adapt the clothes to different working conditions and requirements from the various industries. So, we offer Helly Tech®-garments with different degrees of functionality at varying price ranges
