Developed with insights, feedback and test results from ocean racing professionals, including round the world record breaking sailor Thomas Coville, Helly Hansen’s new and upgraded Ægir Ocean Smock Top delivers high performance for the most extreme offshore sailing conditions. Featuring a waterproof, windproof and breathable HELLY TECH® Professional fabric construction, the smock top guarantees the highest level of protection without compromising comfort, ideal for high-intensity offshore racing.

Helly Hansen’s designers, materials and R&D teams, and pattern makers worked together closely to deliver the brand’s most waterproof fabric construction and a more refined articulation of the garment allowing for improved movement and comfort.

The advanced HELLY TECH® Professional 4-ply fabric construction features a multi-layered composite membrane that is highly protective and fully waterproof, and the fabric incorporates premium quality recycled nylon yarns originating from recycled fish nets. With added waterproof protection from the latex-sealed neck and cuffs, the Ægir Ocean Smock Top is also built with CORDURA reinforcement fabric on the elbow, lower back and hem for durability while Solas reflective elements and neon color details enhance visibility and safety in harsh conditions.

The smock top also features a secure, zipped waterproof pocket to keep essentials dry and the adjustable neoprene storm skirt prevents water from seeping in. Tested and trusted by professionals, the new Ægir Ocean Smock Top offers unparalleled performance and protection for the harshest and most demanding conditions at sea.

Additional features include articulated sleeves and elbows for optimal mobility and an adjustable elastic bottom hem for customised fit and protection.
