What are the Odin Mountain Shell Bib Pants?
The Odin's are waterproof, windproof, breathable, feature-packed overtrousers designed primarily for hiking and ski touring. Designed and tested alongside mountain guides, Helly Hansen have left no stone unturned in the pursuit of the perfect pair of protective trousers.
What are they made of?
The Odin Bib's features Helly Hansen's own Helly Tech Professional fabric. This is made using a 3-layer construction — a super tough nylon outer, a fully waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane in the middle and a breathable inner to protect the membrane. Helly Tech features millions of tiny little holes in its fabric; these holes are so small that water droplets cannot pass through (rain, to you and me), but water vapour (sweat) can pass through. This means you're kept at a more consistent temperature as your sweat can evaporate rather than being trapped inside. The outer fabric is given a durable water repellent coating to further enhance breathability and weather resistance.
To increase breathability even further, the Odin's feature super-tough kick patches on the inner leg to deal with crampon strikes and general abrasion.
What are its features?
The features of the trousers include three beacon pockets (two on the thigh, the other on the chest) for your safety equipment, removable suspenders to keep the Odin's firmly in place and large side zips to get in and out easily.
