To understand the quality of Helly Hansen clothing, suffice it to say that the brand traces its roots back to 1877, when Captain Hansen found a better way to withstand the dire Norwegian conditions by making waterproof clothing. Today the famous Norwegian brand dresses sailors around the world with its oilskins and accessories. And at the TAG Heuer VELAFestival he brought all his “goodies”: not only oilskins, dungarees, boots, jackets and accessories.
We were very impressed with the new LIFA Active Light baselayer collection that is even better and environmentally friendly with the addition of S.Café coffee grounds technology that increases sun protection to 50UPF (Ultraviolet protection factor). By adding S.Café grounds to the structure of LIFA fibers, sun protection is greatly increased. Coffee grounds are part of the LIFA filament, and thus remain in the fiber even after repeated washings. The technology is featured in the HH LIFA Active Light Short Sleeve Polo for men and the HH LIFA Active Light Short Sleeve Shirt for women for sailing. https://www.hellyhansen.com/
