We’re highly focused on the importance of baselayers in snow season. But it’s just as important in our lengthening summers, even if (or especially if) the base is the only layer you’re wearing. Finding a material that offers moisture management, breathability, sun protection, sustainability and comfort is a really tall order. Helly Hansen’s Solen collection may be the answer.

It is made of Helly Hansen’s longstanding high-performance fabric, LIFA Active, combined with a recent innovation called S.Café. Through a low-temperature, high-pressure, energy-saving process, recycled coffee grounds are infused during fiber creation to boost UPF protection to 50+. (UPF = Ultraviolet Protection Factor.) And it will never wash out.

What’s more, the micro-pores on S.Café coffee grounds absorb odors and maintain the UPF value both when wet and dry. They also offer up to 200% faster drying time when compared with cotton. And S.Café technology obviates the need for any chemical treatments that can harm the environment.

The HH LIFA Active Solen T-Shirt (women’s or men‘s) and Hoodie (women’s or men’s) provide all-day comfort and natural, everlasting 50+ UPF sun protection. This is the go-to collection for any sun-exposed activities such as sailing, paddling, spring skiing, hiking and beyond. In our testing we found the Solen T-Shirt and Hoodie to be all-day comfortable and never itchy.

More tech innovations! Find out why Helly Hansen’s new chemical-free LIFA Infinity Pro fabric is a game-changer.

Weekend motivation with @skifelix + @yankaczynski #mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK! @jasonhardrath has spent his entire life in motion: whether that was on sports teams as a young boy, as a triathlete through his early adulthood, or in the mountains, through today.
#ThrowbackThursday 👉Rhythmic raindrops pounded on the truck’s canopy. Wet snow avalanches growled down the slopes, and the river echoed its roar—evidence the Nass Valley’s spirit was very alive. According to the Nisga’a people, K’alii-Aksim-Lisims (the Nass River, one of BC’s richest river systems) is as much a part of them as their own flesh and blood, flowing through their land and lives.
Join us to hear from the Squamish Search & Rescue on trip planning, outdoor safety, outing ideas, and tips for backcountry travel while enjoying local beer and good company at @hellyhansenwhistler tomorrow eve! #Linkinbio to register!
@jamiemocrazy’s traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurred on her second competition run in slopestyle skiing at the finals of the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler in April, 2015.
Reel Rock 16 is coming to #Squamish! There are two showings 👉 May 20th and June 1st at the Eagle Eye Theatre, Howe Sound Secondary School, in beautiful Squamish supported by @climbonsquamish! #Linkinbio to get your tickets! #climbing #film #filmfest #climbers #adventure #climbon #adventure #squamishbc #tickets
Finding that picture perfect moment with @sweenyj #mountainlifer
The winter that just keeps on given-er! 🤘#mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK 💥 This past March, speed mountaineer Benedikt Böhm @benediktboehm rocked a five-hour sea-to-summit expedition up Mount Parnassus in central Greece. Starting at sea level on his road bike at the village of Itea on the Gulf of Corinth, he climbed up to an altitude of 2.414 metres. #linkinbio to watch the film!
I had no idea what to expect from this trip, neither from bikepacking, a fancy term for cycle touring and a sport I’d never done before, nor from Kyrgyzstan, a country most people cannot find on a map. Carl, who I’d only just met recently after moving to Canada—I’d flagged him down after backcountry skiing after seeing his Montana license plate—had invited me on this trip while on a mountain bike ride. I said no. A few weeks later I figured, “Why not?”
