Helly Hansen’s new watersports collection
Helly Hansen has launched its Summer 2026 watersports collection, combining technical protection with marine-inspired design, shaped by nearly 150 years of development with professional athletes.
Koster 2.5L Jacket highlights range
A key piece is the Koster 2.5L Jacket, a waterproof and breathable rain jacket built with HELLY TECH® Performance fabric. Designed for durability, it features a replaceable front zip, adjustable hood, elastic cuffs and recycled fabric construction.
Helly Hansen was founded nearly 150 years ago by a sea captain who wanted to protect his crew from the harsh Norwegian elements. That commitment to protection and performance has driven our innovation ever since and it’s why we continue to be trusted by professionals around the world today. With this jacket, we wanted to bring that trust and technical expertise into a design built for everyday wear, while also paying tribute to our maritime heritage.”
Alida Landbakk, Product Manager for Lifestyle at Helly Hansen
