FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter skiing?
While it is waterproof and windproof, it is designed as a minimalist shell. You will need to wear appropriate insulation layers underneath for cold-weather skiing.
Does it have pit zips for ventilation?
The Odin Infinity Minimalist focus is on weight reduction, so it does not feature traditional pit zips, relying instead on the high breathability of the Lifa Infinity membrane.
Can the hood be adjusted while wearing gloves?
Yes, the hood is designed with intuitive adjustments to allow for quick sizing changes even when wearing technical mountaineering gloves.
How do I use the RECCO reflector?
The RECCO reflector is passive and does not require batteries. It is always active, allowing rescue teams equipped with detectors to locate you in the backcountry.
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable using mild technical soap. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing; wash with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate.
Condensation buildup inside the jacket
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers and adjust your ventilation if the exertion level is too high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Odin Infinity Minimalist Jacket, always zip all pockets and close all fasteners before washing. Use a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof shells to maintain the membrane's breathability. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish, or follow the manufacturer's care tag instructions precisely. When storing, avoid compressing the jacket for long periods; use the provided attachment loop to keep it accessible or fold it neatly to protect the fabric integrity. This garment is designed to be highly compatible with standard mountaineering layering systems, including mid-weight fleece or synthetic insulation.
