Helly Hansen has rolled out their Spring/Summer 2025 Collection, including a fresh take on their costal line in the Pier 4.0 jacket and bibs.
Integrating recycled materials with Helly Tech performance fabric, the company aims to reduce the environmental impact of their products. To that end, they also use a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellant) for waterproofing, since health concerns have been raised about perfluorochemicals. Helly Hansen has also removed the shoulder seam from the jacket, eliminating a key area for leakage if the seam degrades, which could improve the lifespan of the garment.
The Pier 4.0 Jacket is made with a high, protective collar and a built in fluro-yellow hood for improved visibility in the event of an MOB situation. The hood is not fixed on, so wearers should be conscious that it can come detached. High-vis patches on the forearms will also aid visibility.
The Helly Tech fabric is designed to be maximally breathable while maintaining high quality waterproofing, and the jackets have a three-layer construction, with a mesh lining that will slow the friction degradation of the waterproof layers. The bibs also feature abrasion patches on the seat and knees to help mitigate wear and tear. Velcro-sealing cuffs for maximum weather protection are also continued through this line.
The men’s bibs feature a two-way zipper for easy access when hitting the head (or transom), but they’ve omitted a corresponding drop seat on the women’s pants.
Pantone’s color of the year might be Mocha Mousse, but Helly Hansen is betting on more vibrant colors for their 2025 jacket. The men have a host of nautical colors to choose from including red, navy, yellow, orange, and light blue, while the women get bubblegum pink or pastel green. Both also have the option of black bibs.
Helly Hansen is known for tough gear that lasts and looks good while doing it, and this costal line will surely slot right into their market.
