Testing Helly Hansen’s lightweight Everdown jacket for warmth, weather resistance, and packability in the mountains.
The Helly Hansen Odin Everdown Hooded Jacket is compared to synthetic insulated jackets like the Rab Xenon and the Keela Solo, but it's filled with down, making it lighter, more breathable, and warmer.
It has been tested through stormy sessions in the mountains and on a campout high up on Carnedd Llewelyn, where it performed well in freezing conditions.
The jacket is very snug, with an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio, but has a short cut at the hem, which may not suit everyone.
