Pirelli & Helly Hansen: A Perfect Pairing for Peak Performance, On & Off the Road
Pirelli Tire LLC, based right here in Rome, Georgia, has always been about pushing boundaries. For over 150 years, we’ve been engineering tires that aren’t just about getting you from A to B – they’re about how you get there. We're talking precision handling, superior grip, and relentless durability. And now, we’re thrilled to announce a collaboration that extends that same philosophy to your outdoor adventures: a partnership with Helly Hansen, the legendary Norwegian brand known for its professional-grade outdoor apparel. For those who don’t know Helly Hansen, they started back in 1877 making oilskins for sailors. Seriously, waterproof clothing born from the rough seas of Norway! Over the years, they've evolved into a powerhouse providing gear for professionals in some of the toughest environments – from Olympic skiers and mountaineers to oil rig workers and, increasingly, adventure seekers like you. They live performance, just like we do at Pirelli. So, what does this collaboration actually mean? It means bringing together two brands completely focused on uncompromising quality and pushing the limits of what’s possible. It’s not just slapping a logo on something; it's about a shared commitment to innovation and creating products that perform when it really counts. Think about it: you've got your vehicle equipped with Pirelli tires – maybe the Scorpion All-Terrain Plus for those weekend getaways or the P Zero All Season for everyday driving. You’re ready to tackle any road, any weather. But what about you? Are you prepared for the elements? That's where Helly Hansen comes in. They've got everything from waterproof jackets and pants to base layers that keep you comfortable in freezing temps and breathable gear that prevents overheating on tough hikes. They’ve really thought through every detail. Let’s talk specifics. What kind of Helly Hansen gear are we highlighting? Helly Hansen Verglas Insulator Jacket: This isn’t your grandpa’s puffy jacket. This is a seriously warm, lightweight jacket packed with PrimaLoft® insulation. It's perfect for layering under a waterproof shell when the weather turns, or wearing on its own for crisp autumn days. Think of it as the 'all-season' companion to your Pirelli All Season tires - dependable and ready for anything. Helly Hansen Garibaldi Waterproof Jacket: Need something to handle a torrential downpour? The Garibaldi is Helly Hansen's legendary waterproof, windproof, and breathable jacket. Built for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, or just battling the elements, it's a workhorse. It's like having a set of Pirelli Winter Sottozero tires – unwavering grip and control, no matter the conditions. Helly Hansen Lifa® Base Layers: These aren’t just comfortable; they're engineered to wick away moisture and keep you dry and comfortable, even during intense activity. They’re the foundation of any good outdoor layering system, and just like the robust construction of a Pirelli tire, they’re built to last. Consider it the underlying foundation for your comfort, just like the tire carcass provides the foundation for a safe, smooth ride. Helly Hansen Edge Waterproof Pants: Pair these with the Garibaldi jacket, and you've got a full waterproof system. Durable, comfortable, and built to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures, they're a must-have for anyone who spends time in wet or muddy conditions. They're the equivalent of our robust tire sidewalls - protecting you from the elements. Why Pirelli and Helly Hansen? It's about the shared DNA. We both obsess over the details. We both use cutting-edge materials and technology. And most importantly, we both believe that performance isn't just about what you do, but how you do it. At Pirelli, we’re constantly innovating, developing new compounds and tread patterns to improve grip, handling, and durability. Helly Hansen does the same with fabrics, insulation, and construction techniques. They've even developed their own waterproof technology, HELLY TECH® Professional, which is comparable to the advanced rubber compounds we engineer for maximum performance. What's next? We’re excited to explore more opportunities to collaborate with Helly Hansen, bringing together our expertise to create even more innovative products for outdoor enthusiasts and drivers alike. We're talking potential co-branded gear, exclusive promotions, and maybe even some exciting events. We envision a future where your vehicle – equipped with Pirelli tires – and you – equipped with Helly Hansen gear – are ready to tackle any adventure, anywhere. Where to Find More?
