Odin Hooded Insulated Belay Jacket - Men's

Sitting on a belay ledge, watching your partner run it out on some tenuous gear, you don't really have the option to yell "Hey bud, hold on a sec, I need to change my jacket!" Luckily, the Helly Hansen Odin Hooded Insulated Men's Belay Jacket is as versatile as ... well, it's more versatile than anything else we can think of, so you can throw it on when your hermano's starting a tough pitch, and stay comfortable no matter how long it takes him. 

Loaded up with super-compressible PrimaLoft One insulation, the Odin's lightweight but warm, and will keep you properly heated even if it gets wet. It'll hold up to water reasonably well, courtesy of a DWR coating, and, with super-lightweight Pertex Quantum ripstop nylon fabric, it packs down small enough that you won't even notice it in your pack. Pertex is also tough enough to stand up to rocky scrapes and snags, but the shoulders are still reinforced to stay strong under packs and in tight corners. The hand pockets are pack- and harness-compatible as well, and there's even a draft skirt to keep the cold from sneaking up when you're focusing on other things, like not letting your partner fall onto that ledge.
