It might not look like winter outside, but it’s time to start thinking about ordering your new Helly Hansen (HH) uniform for this patrol season. Now is the time to start looking at what uniform options are available to purchase. Get your orders into your patrol leader (or zone uniform officer as applicable) early, so you can be sure to get your new duds in time for your resort’s opening day.

 

Ordering deadlines and product quantities

Be sure to have your uniform order into your patrol leader by November 25, 2021 for two reasons:

  1. Stock (of each style and sizing) is limited, and once a style and size sells out, we won’t have any again until the fall of 2022.
  2. The sooner an order goes in, the sooner your item will ship. We would love every patroller who orders a Helly Hansen uniform to have it in hand, ready for the first patrol shift of this season.

Product offering for the 2021/2022 winter patrol season

You can find the updated catalogue of soft goods available on the pro deals section of the member site here, including item description and pricing. You will also find info about the Helly Tech used in their patrol products.

Note: The new HH uniforms accommodate a different-sized name badge. If you order a new HH jacket, you will also be required to purchase a new name badge. Check with your patrol leader about the pricing of the appropriate-sized name badge for the HH jackets.

Ordering process and shipping

Provide your uniform order (style number and size) to your patrol leader or identified patrol team member. Patrol uniforms are not available for purchase on the HH website, and zones must submit uniform orders. 

Returns and reimbursement considerations

All patrollers must refer to the measurement sizing charts in the catalogue to identify their appropriate item size. This will limit the number of exchanges required.  

If you need to make an exchange for a different size, please reach out to your patrol leader to coordinate the exchange. If you decide to return an unworn (tags still attached) product, it can take up to two weeks for reimbursement to be processed. Your patrol leader can help you with the return.

Nordic uniforms from Helly Hansen

We are currently structuring a demo program for Nordic uniforms and looking for input from our Nordic patrol membership. Kirstie Simpson, the CSP national Nordic coordinator and I will gather ideas and information via a comprehensive online survey to help identify ideal uniform options. Please keep an eye out for that request in the coming weeks.

This winter, the Nordic uniform demo program will take place in key regions with a select group of Nordic patrollers. An entire Helly Hansen Nordic uniform product catalogue will be available to all in the fall of 2022 for the 2022-2023 winter patrol season.

Questions?

Are you looking for more info about the current HH uniform offering? Please reach out to Kerri Loudoun (kerri.loudoun@skipatrol.ca) or national office manager Renee Thivierge, (renee.thivierge@skipatrol.ca), and we’ll be happy to help.
