[sponsored] With the hottest of the summer months behind us, we are moving into the cooler months of autumn on the jobsite. While Helly Hansen is frequently seen on snowy slopes and high seas, their tradition of quality and protection actually originated in premium workwear.
Helly Juell Hansen (age 35) in 1875 began producing oilskin jackets, trousers, and other waterproof gear made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil. After winning many awards throughout the years, Helly Hansen has evolved into one of the world’s most trusted apparel from skiing to sailing and everything in between.
With their illustrious history and unparalleled quality in the outdoors, Helly Hansen Workwear (HHWW) makes it easier for you to get the job done regardless of the conditions.
The Chelsea Collection has been talked about before on this blog with the introduction of the Chelsea Construction Pant. There are plenty of combinations through Helly Hansen’s workwear collection and below are just a few that will thrive through the end of 2017 and on.
CHELSEA SHORTS
Reinforced by Cordura, these shorts will give you the toughness expected from Helly Hansen while also providing reprieve from the unrelenting heat of summer. Known for its durability and resistance to scuffs and scrapes, Cordura ensures strength in products from backpacks and performance apparel to military wear. In addition, Cordura protects against abrasion resistance extremely well while still keeping you light during those long, hot days. With two large thigh pockets (w/ flaps), a velcro closure for accessories, and belt loops with click-on functionality, you’ll have the convenience of the Chelsea Construction Pant but with more mobility and venting.
CHELSEA BIB
Use an industry standard employed by working professionals for over 140 years with Helly Hansen’s Chelsea Construction Bib. The bib has a lightweight and highly durable cotton mix construction for everyday comfort. Sporting a Cordura reinforced knee, bottom hem, and hanging pockets for long lasting durability, this bib is meant to last. Effective, integrated pockets for knee pads offer convenience not seen in other workwear bibs while reflective details and a raised back will give you the comfort you’re looking for with a perfect fit for any situation.
CHELSEA LINED JACKET
With fall/winter approaching, the Chelsea Lined Jacket will be a necessity when temperatures drop and the work continues! This jacket will keep you protected and dry from whatever conditions while also keeping you warm with its pile interior when the weather goes awry. With insulated shoulders, brushed polyester inside the collar and cuffs, and reflective elements, you’ll feel safer and warmer than ever in one of Helly Hansen’s top workwear jackets.
Construction workers rely on power tools to do their jobs every day. Working with power tools is also inherently dangerous, but compounding that risk with a manufacturers defect could be a recipe for disaster. Product recalls on tools, thankfully, don’t happen very often, but it’s extremely important to find out about them before you put yourself at risk for potential injury.
