Helly Hansen Odin Breeze Hooded Fleece Jacket - Women's Ignite Orange, S

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the Odin Breeze Hooded Fleece Jacket on a big ski touring day with a lot of gain, and it was the first fleece I've used that genuinely kept up with the effort without turning into a sauna. The slick face fabric layers so cleanly under a shell that I barely registered the transition when the weather came in on the descent.""Most fleece layers make a quiet bargain with you: stay warm or stay comfortable on the move, but not both at the same time. The Odin Breeze Hooded Fleece Jacket tears up that agreement. Built from a slick-face fleece construction that breathes aggressively through sustained effort, it stays with you from the first kick turn to the last pitch of a long alpine day without trapping heat or soaking through. At 170 grams, it asks almost nothing of the pack, and when conditions shift, it stuffs into its own chest pocket with a clip loop ready for a harness or strap. The fit is technical without being restrictive. Raglan sleeves and thumbholes keep everything locked in and layered cleanly under a shell, and the helmet-compatible hood sits close enough to stay put on exposed terrain without fighting you for position. Tested by professional mountain guides in the conditions this jacket was made for, the Odin Breeze is a rare piece that solves a real problem at a weight that makes the solution feel almost unfair. Made from recycled polyester, it brings that performance with a lighter footprint on every objective."
