Helly Hansen Swimwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• What materials are used in Helly Hansen women's swimwear and how sustainable are they?

  Helly Hansen swim pieces are typically made from an 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane blend, often using Oceanbound recycled polyester to divert coastal plastics. The recycled polyester delivers quick-drying, durable performance while the elastane provides the ultra-stretch needed for active movement, reflecting the brand’s eco-focused material choices.
• How does the Women's Hydro Power Cropped Swimwear Top fit, and how should I choose a size?

  The Women's Hydro Power Cropped Swimwear Top is designed with an active, water-based fit and an ultra-stretch construction that accommodates movement and feels secure during activity. Stick to standard Helly Hansen sizing and consult the brand size chart and customer reviews; if you’re between sizes, choose based on desired coverage and support level.
• Are Helly Hansen swim pieces suitable for active water sports like surfing and swimming?

  Yes, Helly Hansen swimwear is built for active water use: quick-drying fabrics and a high-elastane content offer mobility and recovery for swimming, surfing, and other beach activities. Cropped tops and secure bottoms are good for most active pursuits, though higher-coverage one-pieces may be preferred for very choppy surf or prolonged impact sports.
• How should I care for my Helly Hansen swimsuit to keep the recycled fabric performing?

  Rinse swimwear in fresh water after salt or chlorine exposure, hand wash with mild soap, and hang dry out of direct sunlight to preserve elasticity and color. Avoid machine drying, harsh detergents, and rough surfaces that can accelerate wear to the recycled polyester/elastane blend.
• How does the Women's Hydro Power Cropped Swimwear Top compare to Helly Hansen one-piece swimsuits for performance and coverage?

  The Hydro Power Cropped Top offers quicker drying, mix-and-match versatility, and greater freedom of movement thanks to its cropped, ultra-stretch design, making it ideal for active paddling and swimming. Helly Hansen one-piece swimsuits provide more integrated coverage and often better full-torso security for heavy surf or activities where you want minimal shifting.
