HELLY TECH® PERFORMANCE is a proprietary technology used in Helly Hansen outdoor clothing that combines waterproof and breathable fabrics. This means that while the fabric keeps water out, it also allows sweat and moisture to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable during activities like skiing or snowboarding. This technology is essential for maintaining comfort in varying weather conditions.

PrimaLoft BLACK Eco insulation is made from recycled polyester and is designed to mimic the warmth and softness of traditional down feathers. It provides excellent insulation while being environmentally friendly, as it utilizes recycled materials. Unlike down, it retains its insulating properties even when wet, making it a great choice for outdoor activities in unpredictable weather.

RECCO technology is a safety feature found in some outdoor gear that helps locate individuals buried in avalanches. Gear equipped with RECCO contains a small reflector that can be detected by searchers using a special RECCO detector. This technology significantly enhances safety in backcountry and avalanche-prone areas, giving you peace of mind while enjoying your outdoor adventures.

DWR treatment is applied to fabrics to make them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, helping to keep you dry in wet conditions. While DWR is effective, it may need to be reapplied over time to maintain its performance, ensuring your gear continues to protect you from moisture.

Mesh ventilation features in clothing, such as mesh panels or openings, allow air to flow through, helping to regulate your body temperature. This is particularly beneficial during high-intensity activities like skiing or snowboarding, as it allows heat and moisture to escape, preventing overheating and keeping you comfortable throughout your adventure.

Yes, HELLY TECH® PERFORMANCE gear is specifically designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. Its waterproof and breathable properties ensure that you stay dry and comfortable, even in heavy rain or snow. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection in challenging environments.
