Helly Hansen Odin Everdown Hooded Jacket Review
Testing Helly Hansen’s lightweight Everdown jacket for warmth, weather resistance, and packability in the mountains.
The Helly Hansen Odin Everdown Hooded Jacket is comparable to synthetic insulated jackets like the Rab Xenon and the Keela Solo, but with a key difference: it's filled with down, making it lighter, more breathable, and warmer.
The author tested the jacket in stormy conditions, including Storm Amy, and on a campout on Carnedd Llewelyn, where they stayed outside in freezing conditions to enjoy a sunset and cloud inversion.
The jacket is very snug, with an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio, but has a short cut at the hem, which may not suit everyone's taste.
The Helly Hansen Odin Everdown Hooded Jacket reminds me of many synthetic insulated jackets I’ve tried in the past.
Author's summary: Lightweight down jacket for mountain use.
- Warmth-to-weight ratio is impressive
- Very snug fit
- Short cut at the hem
