Helly Hansen Odin Breeze Hooded Fleece Jacket - Men's Black, XXL

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I skinned in the Odin Breeze Hooded Fleece Jacket on a long touring day with a lot of vertical and it handled the full range of the effort better than anything else I've tried at this weight. The breathability kept me from soaking through on the climb, and the helmet-compatible hood was ready to go the moment I transitioned for the descent."The problem with most fleece on a hard alpine day is that it works against you the moment the effort picks up. The Odin Breeze Hooded Fleece Jacket was built specifically to solve that, using a slick-face fleece construction that breathes hard enough to keep pace with a sustained skin track or a long approach without letting the cold back in when you stop. At 190 grams, it nearly disappears in the pack, and when it comes out, it stuffs back into the chest pocket with a clip loop ready to go on a harness or pack strap. The 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 through technical terrain without getting in the way. Tested and refined with professional mountain guides, the Odin Breeze is the kind of piece that earns its place not by doing everything but by doing its specific job better than anything else at this weight class. Made from recycled polyester, it carries that performance with a lighter footprint.
