When we launched the first edition of the Odin 9 Worlds Jacket in 2017, it won the Gear of the Year for Shell Jackets in Outside Magazine’s Buyer’s Guide. It soon became a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts and a go-to jacket for mountaineers who need to tackle rough terrain in unpredictable weather conditions.
Now, it’s time for the next level. Our award-winning, all-time favorite 3L shell jacket is back in a cleaner and lighter version – The Odin 9 Worlds 2.0 Jacket. This high-performing and durable 3L shell jacket will keep you protected and comfortable in all outdoor conditions. Fully waterproof, windproof and breathable, it has the hardshell fit to provide maximum protection while giving space for layering pieces on colder days, making for the perfect year-round outdoor piece.
“We wanted to create the ultimate shell jacket with no compromise between design and function. Every little detail, from the reinforcement panels to the shape of the zipper-pulls, is designed for optimal functionality and protection throughout the harshest conditions,” says Helly Hansen’s Product Manager, Sarah Randall.
This meticulous attention to design is apparent in every detail of The Odin 9 Worlds 2.0. The jacket has a harness and backpack compatible fit and is equipped with improved 2-way entry pockets that function both as pockets and extra venting. These zippers open from top and bottom for optimal access flexibility.
The Odin 9 worlds Jacket is named after the Norse God who journeyed through the Nine Worlds of Yggdrasil in search of wisdom. Odin was known to travel across the 9 worlds for extended periods of time. Therefore, we designed a jacket that holds up to its namesake, allowing excellent protection in sudden foul weather storms and during extended expeditions.
Like Odin, Helly Hansen is in relentless pursuit, but our journey has been towards creating perfect gear for outdoor professionals. After years of continuously improving the Odin series, we are proud to introduce The Odin 9 Worlds 2.0 Jacket, updated with new features like an added chest pocket (featuring the 11-degree angle), improved CF zipper puller, wired hood brim and flush internal cord adjustments.
If you liked the original Odin 9 Worlds Jacket, you’ll love the 2.0 with its cleaner and lighter design and improved fit and function.
