To find your Helly Hansen size, measure your chest, waist and hips, then match them to the Helly Hansen chart for that garment type: jackets, pants, plus size, kids, gloves or shoes. Helly Hansen publishes its apparel charts in inches, so every table below shows centimeters and inches together (cm / in), with the centimeters converted.

Frequently asked questions
What if I'm between two sizes?
Helly Hansen does not publish a between-sizes rule. Compare your chest, waist and hip to the chart for your garment type and check the sleeve or inseam too.
Are Helly Hansen men's and women's sizes the same?
No. Men's, women's, plus size and kids each have their own chart. Use the chart that matches the garment.
Which pants length do I need?
Helly Hansen lists pants in Short, Regular and Long for letter sizes. Measure your inseam, from the top of the inside thigh to the bottom of the ankle with straight legs, and match it to the inseam column.
Are Helly Hansen sizes in inches or centimeters?
Helly Hansen publishes its apparel charts in inches. This guide adds centimeters, converted and rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm. Gloves and shoes are listed by Helly Hansen in both units.
How do I size Helly Hansen gloves?
Measure the circumference of your hand behind the knuckles and match it to the glove chart for men, women or kids.
What sizes does Helly Hansen offer for young sailors?
Kids sizes run from 86 (1.5 years) to 176 (16 years), with separate charts for boys and girls from 9 years up.
