OUR MATERIALS &#x2013; PERFORMANCE WITH PURPOSE At Helly Hansen, we engineer our garments using materials that are built to perform and made to last. From nature-derived fibres like cotton and wool to high-tech synthetics like LIFA&#xAE;, our material selection is driven by performance, durability, and our responsibility to reduce environmental impact. Below is a summary of the fibres and fabrics used in our products &#x2014; and our approach to sourcing and sustainability.<hr data-start="827" data-end="830"><h3 data-start="832" data-end="844" id="cotton">COTTON</h3>Cotton is one of the most commonly used fibres in the world, known for its softness and breathability.Our Approach: We use cotton in casual t-shirts, hoodies, and workwear jackets. While it&#x2019;s a natural and biodegradable fibre, cotton production can be climate intensive &#x2014; which is why we&#x2019;re transitioning to organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.Ideal for: Low-intensity activities, casual wear, and comfortable everyday apparel<hr data-start="1321" data-end="1324"><h3 data-start="1326" data-end="1345" id="wool-merino">WOOL (MERINO)</h3>Merino wool is soft, breathable, odour-resistant, and naturally insulating &#x2014; making it an ideal performance fibre.Our Approach: We use only ZQ-certified Merino wool, which meets high animal welfare and environmental standards. Merino helps regulate temperature and manage moisture while staying light and durable.Ideal for: Base layers and next-to-skin layers in all-season outdoor use<hr data-start="1751" data-end="1754"><h3 data-start="1756" data-end="1766" id="down">DOWN</h3>Down offers superior warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, perfect for alpine and lightweight insulation layers.Our Approach: We only use RDS-certified (Responsible Down Standard) down &#x2014; which ensures that no birds are live-plucked or force-fed. All down is 100% traceable.Ideal for: Insulated jackets and midlayers where warmth and packability matter<hr data-start="2144" data-end="2147"><h3 data-start="2149" data-end="2162" id="leather">LEATHER</h3>Leather is strong, durable, and long-lasting when treated properly.Our Approach: We&#x2019;ve phased out leather in all apparel. Where necessary &#x2014; such as gloves and select footwear &#x2014; we use LWG-certified leather and are moving toward 100% certification.Ideal for: Gloves and footwear where abrasion resistance and flexibility are critical<hr data-start="2519" data-end="2522"><h3 data-start="2524" data-end="2538" id="faux-fur">FAUX FUR</h3>We do not use real fur in any of our garments.Our Approach: Since 2006, we&#x2019;ve exclusively used faux fur, chosen to perform like real fur around the hood &#x2014; reducing windchill and freezing from breath moisture.Ideal for: Hood trims on winter jackets and parkas<hr data-start="2817" data-end="2820"><h3 data-start="2822" data-end="2841" id="polypropylene">POLYPROPYLENE</h3>This fibre is the foundation of our LIFA&#xAE; base layer technology.Our Approach: Polypropylene is inherently water-repellent, lightweight, and low-conductivity &#x2014; making it ideal for moisture management. We improve sustainability through solution dyeing, long-lasting construction, and increased use of recycled polypropylene.Ideal for: Base layers, performance underwear, and lightweight insulation<hr data-start="3261" data-end="3264"><h3 data-start="3266" data-end="3289" id="polyamide-nylon">POLYAMIDE (NYLON)</h3>A tough synthetic fibre used for rugged, high-performance outerwear and gear.Our Approach: We use both virgin and recycled polyamide, including Ocean Bound materials. While recycling polyamide is still developing, we&#x2019;re committed to expanding its use in sailing and mountain wear.Ideal for: Technical shells, waterproof bags, high-durability garments<hr data-start="3664" data-end="3667"><h3 data-start="3669" data-end="3684" id="polyester">POLYESTER</h3>Polyester is used across our insulation, fleece, linings, and synthetic shells.Our Approach: We&apos;re shifting toward recycled content, with nearly all of our nonwoven insulations now using 80% post-consumer recycled polyester, and over 70% of fleece replaced with recycled materials. We&#x2019;ve joined the Textile Exchange 2025 Recycled Polyester Challenge.Ideal for: Insulated jackets, fleece midlayers, linings, and rainwear<hr data-start="4132" data-end="4135"><h3 data-start="4137" data-end="4164" id="ocean-bound-materials">OCEAN BOUND MATERIALS</h3>These are recycled fibres made from plastic collected within 50 km of coastlines or major waterways, preventing ocean pollution.Our Approach: We use Ocean Bound polyester and polyamide in sailing, marine, and lifestyle gear. This program enables shore-to-door traceability and keeps plastic from entering marine ecosystems.Ideal for: Customers seeking gear made from environmentally recovered plastics &#x1F517; <a data-start="4594" data-end="4651" rel="noopener" target="_new" href="https://hellyhansen.com.au/pages/ocean-bound">Read more</a><hr data-start="4653" data-end="4656"><h3 data-start="4658" data-end="4674" id="primaloft">PRIMALOFT&#xAE;</h3>Premium synthetic insulation that mimics down but performs better when wet.Our Approach: We use multiple versions &#x2014; including Ocean Bound, Gold, Bio, and Silver &#x2014; to deliver warmth, compressibility, and moisture resistance. It also powers our LIFALOFT&#x2122; insulation, co-developed with PrimaLoft&#xAE;.Ideal for: Lightweight warmth in alpine, wet, or high-output environments &#x1F517; <a data-start="5082" data-end="5137" rel="noopener" target="_new" href="https://hellyhansen.com.au/pages/primaloft">Read more</a><hr data-start="5139" data-end="5142"><h3 data-start="5144" data-end="5159" id="polartec">POLARTEC&#xAE;</h3>Breathable, soft, and durable &#x2014; used in our fleece and midlayer range.Our Approach: Polartec&#xAE; fabrics offer excellent insulation and many include recycled content and are bluesign&#xAE; approved.Ideal for: Midlayers and performance fleece &#x1F517; <a data-start="5421" data-end="5461" rel="noopener" target="_new" href="https://www.polartec.com">polartec.com</a><hr data-start="5463" data-end="5466"><h3 data-start="5468" data-end="5482" id="pvc-free">PVC-FREE</h3>Helly Hansen does not use PVC in apparel.Our Approach: We&#x2019;ve transitioned to PVC-free waterproofing materials to reduce chemical exposure while maintaining performance.Ideal for: Rainwear and workwear that require safe, long-lasting water protection &#x1F517; <a data-start="5756" data-end="5806" rel="noopener" target="_new" href="https://hellyhansen.com.au/pages/pvc">PVC Policy</a><hr data-start="5808" data-end="5811"><h3 data-start="5813" data-end="5835" id="synthetic-fibres">SYNTHETIC FIBRES</h3>Synthetics like polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene are the backbone of our performance fabrics.Our Approach: We continuously improve these fibres by using recycled content, solution dyeing, and high-quality construction to extend product life and reduce impact.Ideal for: Shells, linings, base layers, insulation, and accessories &#x1F517; <a data-start="6210" data-end="6287" rel="noopener" target="_new" href="https://hellyhansen.com.au/pages/synthetic-fibres">More on synthetic fibres</a><hr data-start="6289" data-end="6292"><h3 data-start="6294" data-end="6330" id="waterless-dyeing-of-synthetics">WATERLESS DYEING OF SYNTHETICS</h3>This refers to solution dyeing, where colour is added before the fibre is even spun.Our Approach: We use solution dyeing to reduce water usage by up to 90%, cut CO&#x2082; emissions, and improve long-term colour durability.Ideal for: Any synthetic gear where environmental impact matters &#x1F517; <a data-start="6639" data-end="6715" rel="noopener" target="_new" href="https://hellyhansen.com.au/pages/waterless-dyeing-of-synthetics">More here</a><hr data-start="6717" data-end="6720">SECTION: MATERIALS IN OUR TECHNOLOGIES Many of our product innovations are built on the materials above:<ul data-start="6834" data-end="7226"><li data-start="6834" data-end="6927">LIFA&#xAE; fibres (polypropylene) &#x2192; used in base layers, LIFALOFT&#x2122;, and LIFA Infinity Pro&#x2122;</li><li data-start="6928" data-end="6992">Recycled polyester &#x2192; used in fleece, linings, insulation</li><li data-start="6993" data-end="7072">Polyamide &#x2192; used in outer shells, Ocean Bound gear, sailing collections</li><li data-start="7073" data-end="7143">PrimaLoft&#xAE; + LIFA&#xAE; &#x2192; used in co-developed LIFALOFT&#x2122; insulation</li><li data-start="7144" data-end="7226">Solution dyed synthetics &#x2192; used across categories for lower-impact colouring</li></ul><hr data-start="7228" data-end="7231">SECTION: QUESTIONS ABOUT MATERIALS?
