Helly Hansen Workwear (HH Workwear) in Canada
Cleanflow stocks Helly Hansen workwear from waterproof Helly Tech® shell jackets and PrimaLoft®-insulated winter jackets to Heritage pile coveralls, hi-vis CSA-rated outerwear and bib pants, Gale and Storm rainwear, FR-rated rainwear, Polartec® fleece mid-layers, LIFA® thermal base layers, and the Service and Construction work pant lines, and ships them from Winnipeg across Canada and the USA.
Helly Hansen has been making professional workwear since 1877, when sea captain Helly Juell Hansen and his wife Margrethe started producing oilskin jackets and trousers in Moss, Norway, to protect Norwegian sailors from North Sea weather. The first product won an award at the 1878 Paris World Exhibition. The brand is still headquartered in Norway and has been owned since June 2025 by Kontoor Brands (the parent of Wrangler and Lee), which bought it from Canadian Tire Corporation, its owner from 2018 to 2025.

Top Picks from Helly Hansen Work Jackets at Cleanflow
The Luna line is the women's fit, listed in the insulated and shell sections below.
Insulated Winter Work Jackets
Insulated work jackets combine waterproof Helly Tech® shells with synthetic PrimaLoft® or Lifaloft™ insulation for cold-weather outdoor work, a standard choice for Canadian winter construction and outdoor trades.
An insulated winter work jacket built on Helly Tech® ripstop fabric with PrimaLoft® insulation. The ripstop construction resists tearing on rough job sites, and the waterproof breathable shell handles wet snow and rain. Available in sizes S-4XL.
An insulated waterproof winter work jacket using Lifaloft™ insulation, Helly Hansen's lighter alternative to standard synthetic fill. Engineered to deliver cold-weather warmth without the bulk of heavier insulated jackets. Available in sizes S-4XL.
A CSA hi-vis winter work jacket, poly insulated, waterproof and breathable, with reflective tape and an adjustable fit for construction and road work.
A CSA hi-vis insulated parka on a Helly Tech® waterproof, breathable shell, with reflective tape, for winter protection on utility and road sites. Pairs with the Alna 71516 polar bib pants.
A women's-fit winter work jacket with PrimaLoft® insulation and a waterproof breathable shell. Designed with adjustable details for a comfortable fit across base layers. Available in sizes XS to 2XL, limited sizes.
Shell Work Jackets
Shell jackets (also called hardshells) provide waterproof and windproof protection without insulation, designed to be worn over base and mid-layers for customizable warmth. Built around Helly Tech® waterproof/breathable membrane technology with sealed seams.
A standard men's shell work jacket built on Helly Tech® waterproof technology with reflective details and adjustable hood and cuffs. The all-weather layering piece across construction and outdoor trades. Available in sizes S-4XL.

Softshell Work Jackets
Softshell jackets balance water-repellency, breathability, and flexibility for active work in mild and shoulder-season weather. Stretchier and more breathable than shells, but not waterproof in sustained rain, best for light rain, wind, and high-output work.
An OEKO-TEX® approved men's softshell with waterproof breathable construction, reflective details, and adjustable fit. OEKO-TEX® and bluesign® approved with a PFC-free water-repellent finish; it ships from the manufacturer, so allow extra delivery time. Available in sizes XS-4XL.
Fleece Work Jackets
Fleece work jackets provide breathable insulation for cool, dry weather or as a mid-layer under a shell. Polartec® fleece technology offers warmth with breathability in active conditions. The Heritage pile hoodie sits in this category as a recycled-poly cold-weather option certified to EN 14058 Class 2.
A men's Polartec® Wind Pro fleece work jacket adds wind-resistance to the traditional fleece layer. Multi-pocket construction and YKK zippers make it the fleece choice when wind is a factor on the job site. Available in sizes S-4XL; limited sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a shell jacket and a softshell jacket?
Shell jackets (hardshells) are fully waterproof and windproof but less breathable and less flexible. Softshells are water-repellent and more breathable but not waterproof in sustained rain. For all-weather job sites, choose a shell; for active work in milder conditions, choose a softshell.
Should I choose an insulated work jacket or pair a shell with a fleece?
An insulated work jacket gives you a single all-in-one solution for cold weather and is easier to manage on the job site. Pairing a shell with a fleece is more versatile across temperature ranges and lets you adjust warmth as conditions change. Many buyers own both: an insulated jacket for the coldest months and a shell-plus-fleece system for the rest of the year.
What does the Helly Tech® rating on a jacket mean?
Helly Tech® is Helly Hansen's waterproof and breathable membrane, offered in three levels: Protection for everyday weather, Performance for active outdoor work, and Professional for the harshest conditions. All three are seam-sealed with a durable water-repellent finish. The Manchester 2.0 shell is Helly Tech Protection and the Luna 71304 is Helly Tech Performance; each product page states its level.
How do I size a Helly Hansen work jacket?
Helly Hansen work jackets generally fit true to size, but consider what you'll wear underneath: shell jackets need room for a fleece or sweater layer, while insulated and fleece jackets are designed to be worn directly over base layers. Check each product page for specific sizing charts. If you're between sizes and plan to layer, size up.
Are Helly Hansen work jackets certified for high-visibility or cold-weather work?
Several models in this collection carry specific certifications. The Heritage 72183 pile hoodie is EN 14058 Class 2 rated for cool-environment protection. The Manchester 2.0 softshell is OEKO-TEX® and bluesign® approved. For Hi-Vis CSA-rated jackets, see Cleanflow's separate Hi-Vis Jackets collection.
Does Cleanflow stock Helly Hansen coveralls?
Yes: the Heritage 72182 pile coveralls, plus the Alna 71516 hi-vis polar bib pants and the Berg 76400 insulated bib pants. Insulated one-piece Helly Hansen coveralls are not stocked online; call 1-866-335-1078 to ask about ordering them.
