Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Odin Stretch Insulator 2.0 is a premium mid-layer jacket engineered for active adults who engage in high-output mountain activities like hiking, climbing, and skiing. Its core strength lies in the combination of PrimaLoft Gold Active insulation and a highly breathable, stretchy ripstop fabric that ensures both warmth and unrestricted movement; however, users should note that as an active insulator, it is designed for layering and may require a protective hard-shell jacket during extreme weather or heavy precipitation.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is designed for breathability and warmth. It is water-resistant, but you should wear a shell over it in heavy rain or snow.
Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?
Yes, it functions well as an outer layer in dry, cold conditions or during moderate activities.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods to maintain the integrity of the insulation.
Does the hood fit under a climbing helmet?
The low-profile, elastic construction of the hood is designed to fit snugly, making it suitable to wear under most climbing or ski helmets.
Is the fabric prone to tearing?
The jacket uses a durable ripstop fabric specifically designed to resist snags and tears common in mountain environments.
Troubleshooting
Jacket losing loft or warmth
The insulation may be compressed due to oils or dirt. Wash the jacket following the care instructions to restore the loft of the PrimaLoft fibers.
Zipper is sticking
Clear any debris or fabric snagged in the YKK zipper tracks. If the zipper is dry, you can lubricate it slightly with a graphite pencil or a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the technical performance of your Odin Stretch Insulator 2.0, follow these care guidelines. Always wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer fabric. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the insulation of its loft and breathability. For drying, tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation back to its original state. When layering, this piece is best worn over a moisture-wicking base layer and underneath a technical shell jacket to maximize the weather protection system.
