Outerwear should be stylish, comfortable and of high quality. Therefore, when choosing jackets, many men prefer proven brands. This includes Helly Hansen. The brand can be called a legend, because it has been on the market for many years.

About the brand

Norway's climate is rather harsh. Humidity, frequent rains and cold winds always forced to choose special clothes. In the 19th century, this issue was especially acute, because commercial fishing was at the peak of development. One of the workers in this field, Juel Helly Hansen, invented a raincoat made of a unique fabric that protects against damp and cold. In 1877, together with his wife, he organized the production of such clothes for everyone.

In addition to raincoats, a small company began producing jackets, trousers and even hats.

By treating the fabric with linseed oil and drying it in a secret way, the garment was considered the best waterproof product in the world.

In 1924, the brand delighted customers with a new discovery. The Linox fabric was invented. She also did not leak water. At the same time, the material had a glossy sheen and was completely non-sticky. A couple of years later, the company presented the Helox material. During this period, Yuel's son was already in charge of the production and research center. The innovative fabric was composed of the thinnest transparent layer of PVC. This further boosted sales.

In 1961, the world was shocked by another discovery. The soft, soft-touch material Fiberpale has become a reliable insulation for the brand's outerwear. A few years later, a line of underwear appeared. The three-layer LIFA fabric was recognized as the best for the production of such garments. She perfectly removed excess moisture from the body and kept warm.

The brand grew in popularity. The company became a sponsor of the Winter Olympics in the 90s. Hip-hop stars loved her. The brand's specialists continued to experiment with fabrics, creating new and improved versions.

Then the unique H2 Flow technology was created. The ventilation system allowed the person to adjust the temperature at will. Outerwear has recently appeared, equipped with a special Life Pocket. A certain temperature level maintained in it allows you to carry electronic devices without fear of their condition in any weather

Today the company's assortment includes a variety of products for everyday wear and outdoor activities. These are thermal underwear, T-shirts, sweatshirts, shoes, hats, accessories and outerwear. When creating collections, not only comfort is taken into account, but also the appearance of products. The brand follows fashion trends, allowing customers to stay stylish in any situation.

    • The brand's down jackets are also made of wind and moisture resistant fabric. In this case, natural fluff is used.

    Selection and combination rules

    When choosing a jacket you need to decide on a few points.

    • The season for which outerwear is needed.
    • The purpose of the thing. If you need equipment for alpine skiing, you should choose a model from the appropriate section. If you wear a jacket in winter in the city, you can buy a parka. A down jacket is a versatile option that will come in handy for city walks and for country trips.
    • Colour. The style and color are chosen to taste.
    • The size. Outerwear must be bought strictly in size. The jacket should not dangle on the figure, but it should not be tight either. The option is considered ideal, which provides complete freedom of movement. Men who wear jackets buy outerwear 1 size larger than what is indicated on their regular clothes. The shoulder seam should be just below the shoulder edge. This serves as a guide when choosing the right size and allows you to create a harmonious silhouette.
    • If you decide to buy a product from an official online store, be sure to look at the special table.It takes into account all the main parameters: height, bust, waist and hips. From this data, you can easily determine the size you need.

    As for the combinations, it depends on the situation. If you go outdoors, a down jacket, waterproof pants, and high boots are the best options. For skiing, a special uniform is provided: a jacket and trousers made of membrane. In the city, windbreakers, down jackets and parkas can be combined with jeans, chinos, sweatpants. You can wear sneakers or boots on your feet.

      If desired, a park or raincoat can even be correctly fitted into a classic wardrobe. But in this case, it is better to choose an elongated model of calm colors. Bright, outrageous down jackets and jackets in combination with formal trousers will look rather strange. But in casual style, they are always appropriate.
