Helly Hansen’s Olympic bet
Sailing specialist Helly Hansen is the official supplier of athletes Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló who will be representing Spain in the 49er FX class at the upcoming Paris Olympics. This is the second Olympic cycle in which the Norwegian brand has equipped the duo.

The high-speed discipline requires great freedom of movement and close-fitting clothing, so stretch fabrics are key in the styles that Helly Hansen developed with help from the young Spaniards. They also expect temperatures to be high, which the brand has taken into account in the competition kit that was revealed this week.

Due to the wind conditions in the race that will take place off the coast of Marseille, the event will be a very special one, says Ms Echegoyen. And it means that every detail counts, including equipment.
