10 February marks the fifth anniversary of the initiative that invites mountain-goers everywhere to honour and recognize their local ski patrol

On 10 February 2026, Helly Hansen, the leading global ski brand trusted by professionals around the world, will celebrate the fifth annual International Ski Patrol Day (ISPD). Established to recognise the incredible work of ski patrollers globally, ISPD encourages communities worldwide to show their thanks on and off the mountain.

The crew led by Thomas Coville, Helly Hansen ambassador and skipper of the ocean trimaran Sodebo Ultim 3, set a new nonstop round-the-world sailing record, winning the prestigious Trophée Jules Verne. 

Since 1877, leading global ski brand Helly Hansen has been trusted by professionals, working closely with them to ideate, test and validate their designs. With a focus on innovation, the Norway-based brand is motivated to continue improving, never settling for less than the highest quality, performance and protection. For Winter ’25, Helly Hansen launches the upgraded Ridge Infinity Shell Jacket 2.0 (£700), featuring an enhanced fit and design based on feedback from professional freeride skiers and ski patrollers.

Since 1877, Helly Hansen has worked closely with outdoor professionals to provide gear that enables performance and comfort, whether on or off the job. For Spring/Summer ‘25, the Norwegian-based brand took feedback and test results from partner mountain guides in Squamish, BC to create the Odin Rock Insulated Shell Jacket (£320), with features to directly support activities in the mountains requiring a harness and helmet, in a lightweight, durable, yet flexible design.

Helly Hansen, the leading global sailing brand trusted by professionals around the world, and The Ocean Race, known as sailing’s toughest team challenge, are proud to announce the renewal of their long-standing partnership. With the extension of the partnership, Helly Hansen will provide professional grade apparel for the entire race organisation, including partners and the on-water race management team, for 2 consecutive race cycles through 2031, with the first race cycle to include The Ocean Race Europe in 2025, The Ocean Race Atlantic in 2026 and The Ocean Race (around the world) in 2027.

Global sailing brand, Helly Hansen, announces the continuation of its support to charity partner, RNLI's Mayday campaign – by donating 25% of all UK online sales during May to the RNLI, as it has done since 2018.
