Helly Hansen has become a top name in outdoor technical apparel thanks to its emphasis on keeping people dry and warm in harsh, wet conditions.

　　Over the years, the brand has made its mark by developing in-house technologies like Helly Tech Professional, a waterproof outer layer that can withstand harsh weather conditions and rigorous abuse. The pinnacle of its apparel, the Odin Collection, combines Helly Hansen’s tch with premium ingredients like PrimaLoft insulation.

　　The main takeaway? Helly Hansen has built its reputation on high-end apparel, and some of that know-how trickles down to its less technical offerings, too.

　　Anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor wardrobe for alpine adventures or summer hikes will find the brand makes insulated midlayers, wicking baselayers, four-season pants, and other gear suited to the task.
