Capsule 221 is Helly Hansen's latest apparel collection. The SS22 uses some of the brand's core components to encapsulate its 140-year history of technical sailing apparel and mountain gear. Additionally, the AGIR Offshore Collection had a role in creating the foundation of the SS22 range.
The collection uses professional-grade fabrications and technologies in combination with a refined visual aesthetic and color palette to create pieces suited to the modern urban environments. Details throughout the range include a three-layer shell technology, ultrasonic taped seams, reinforced webbing load eyelets, and modular interchangeable spray hoods. In terms of color and print, the hood is painted in a subtle but surreal dusty pastel camouflage tone. More of this print is used throughout the collection, including on its lynch-pin ARC Waterproof Storm Jacket, ARC Vest, Technical Rain Hats, and more.
