Helly Hansen 48800 Olive Lifa Baselayer
Features:
In order to be comfortable, your skin needs to stay dry. LIFA base layers help this
happen: they are made from polypropylene, which pushes moisture away from the
body to keep it dry and warm.
Polypropylene is a hydrophobic fibre. This means that polypropylene - unlike cotton
or wool - does not absorb moisture so the fabric stays dry next to your skin.
Polypropylene is soft on the skin and lightweight to wear. It is non-allergenic and a
good insulator. It also retains its shape, which allows the best fit for each individual.
A close-to-body fit, combined with excellent elasticity, prevents any moisture being
trapped between skin and LIFA, and allows free passage of perspiration and heat.
More good news - LIFA is permanently resistant to bacteria so, even after prolonged
use, it does not retain odour
-Base layer ideal
for use whilst on duty or high intensity activities such as tabbing
-Unique polypropylene yarn gives superior moisture movement
-Designed to keep you dry and comfortable

Olive/Black

Helly Hansen History:
The story of Helly Hansen started in 1877. After many years at sea, Norwegian captain Helly
Juell Hansen and his wife Maren Margarethe began producing oilskin jackets, trousers, sou'westers
and tarpaulins, made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil.
They certainly struck a nerve in the market, because over the first five years they sold approximately
10,000 pieces. In 1878 the company won a diploma for excellence at the Paris Expo, and began
exporting its products. In the 20th century, Helly Hansen made several breakthroughs in product
development to complete the layering principle today known as the 3-Layer System™.
In 1949 the Helox, a thin sheet of translucent PVC plastic sewn into waterproof coats, took over
for the oilbased outerwear and became the must-have protection for outdoor use. With a production
of 30,000 coats each month the success was almost immediate.
The original fleece, the fiberpile, was developed in 1961 and has been perfected for almost 50 years
since. This new insulation layer was warm, lightweight and fast-drying, ideal for wearing under the
protective layer. It was soon embraced by workers because it offered extraordinary insulation against
the cold, and ventilated well during hard, physical work. It even protected against snow and light rain,
staying extremely durable and warm after many washes.
The layering story was completed in the 1970s, with the development of LIFA. This wonder-fiber, used
in LIFA, kept the skin dry and warm by pushing moisture away from the body, making it the ideal baselayer
fabric for outdoor and workwear use. The latest generation of LIFA is still used in our baselayers today.
In 1980, the Helly Tech technology was launched, using both hydrophilic and microporous technology,
which meant the apparel was both waterproof and breathable. This meant that anyone who participated in
high-activity outdoor sports could expect their clothing to work with them, not against them. The evolution
of breathable, waterproof jackets had a profound effect on the outdoor industry. Helly Hansen now
produced technical outerwear garments.
The heritage from Helly Juell Hansen is still our cornerstone. Today our gear is used by world-class sailors,
skiers and adventurers who spend their time between human will and nature’s forces, and demand full
protection and performance when the conditions are at their worst.
