How To Get The Helly Hansen First Responder Discount

We couldn’t read Helly Hansen’s own pages, and ID.me says it isn’t aware of a first responder offer, so the route that checks out is cash back through Rakuten. That’s an honest “not confirmed,” not a flat no: if Helly Hansen runs a program on a page we couldn’t reach, ask the company before you assume.

Rakuten describes Helly Hansen as a premium performance apparel brand for sailors, skiers, hikers and anyone else who loves to be out in the elements, with coats, pants, base layers and footwear. For a winter on the hill, a shell and a set of base layers are the pieces most people come for, and a jacket is the kind of purchase where getting a little back is worth the extra click.

How To Get The Helly Hansen First Responder Discount

Helly Hansen’s US site answered every one of our requests, including one to an address that doesn’t exist, with a 403 and a note asking us to enable JavaScript. A read in a regular browser came back as an empty page too, so nothing on Helly Hansen’s own site was read, for or against a program. ID.me, which many retailers use to verify first responders, says it isn’t aware that Helly Hansen offers first responders discounts. That covers only the ID.me side, and a program could run another way. There’s no code to enter and no badge to show that we could confirm, so here’s what does work:

  1. Create a free Rakuten account, or sign in if you already have one.
  2. Open Rakuten’s Helly Hansen store page.
  3. Click Shop Now, which takes you to Helly Hansen’s site.
  4. Pick your gear in that same visit and check out normally.

Rakuten is the first partner on our list that carries Helly Hansen with a store page of its own, so it comes first.

What Rakuten Leaves Out

Read this part before you order. Rakuten’s terms for Helly Hansen say cash back won’t be awarded on any Helly Hansen Pro Program sales, or if voucher or promotional codes are used that haven’t been posted or approved by Rakuten. They also say that using coupon codes not listed on Rakuten may void the cash back. So if a code lands in your inbox, decide which saving you want before you check out, and don’t mix a Pro Program purchase with this route. We don’t print a cash back rate here because the figure moves; open Rakuten’s page that day and read what it shows.

Another Place That Carries It

TopCashback also has a Helly Hansen page, titled Helly Hansen Offers, Cash Back, Discounts & Coupons. If you already use it, compare the figure on the day you buy. Rakuten stays first because it ranks ahead on our list.

Q&A

Q: Does Helly Hansen have a first responder discount?
A: We couldn’t confirm one. Helly Hansen’s own site wouldn’t open for our checks, and ID.me says it isn’t aware of an offer.

Q: Why couldn’t you read Helly Hansen’s site?
A: It returned a 403 to every request we sent, including one to a made-up address, and a regular browser read came back as an empty page.

Q: Which cash back partner carries it?
A: Rakuten has a Helly Hansen store page with a Shop Now button, and TopCashback has a page too.

Q: Does cash back work on a Pro Program order?
A: No. Rakuten’s terms say cash back isn’t awarded on any Helly Hansen Pro Program sales.

Q: Which winter brand does give first responders a discount?
A: Burton does, through SheerID. See our Burton first responder discount page.
