Helly Hansen is as tough as the competition will be during the week-long race through some of Canada’s more diverse terrain. Helly will be providing performance Lifa shirts for all competitors and volunteers as well as outfitting race staff, medics, and the television production crew with appropriate apparel to stay warm, dry, and safe.

“Helly Hansen has long been an integral part of the gear closet for most adventurers, and their association with Raid the North Extreme solidifies the quality of their product. They understand the value of integration with an event of this magnitude,” says race director Geoff Langford. “We will be giving Helly products a chance to perform on the backs of competitors, as well as race management and safety teams, and the television production crews.”

Helly will also be sponsoring a team competing in this year’s race. Team MOMAR/Helly Hansen from Vancouver Island, who have been performing well on the race circuit, and finished Primal Quest last year will all be wearing the latest Helly Hansen performance wear.

Helly provides high quality, protective technical gear for work survival and sport. They work and play in the harshest environments on the planet to learn what\'s needed to create the best mountain riding gear possible. Combining athlete input with environmental research, Helly designs accordingly and the result is superior gear for riders on all sides of the mountain.
