Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Odin Ultimate Infinity is a hardshell jacket designed for protection against the elements. It provides no inherent insulation and should be worn over appropriate mid-layers.
Can I wear this for everyday rain protection?
Yes, while designed for mountaineering, its waterproof capabilities and features make it an excellent choice for any wet-weather outdoor activity.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger. Avoid leaving it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods, as this can affect the seam sealing and membrane longevity.
Does the hood fit over a helmet?
Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible and fully adjustable for a secure fit with or without a helmet.
What is the RECCO system used for?
RECCO is a search-and-rescue technology that allows professional rescuers to use a detector to find the location of the RECCO reflector embedded in your garment.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
Clean the jacket thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is often caused by condensation from over-layering; open the underarm vents to increase airflow or remove a mid-layer.
Zipper is sticking or stiff
Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or debris using a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's technical properties, proper care is essential. Always close all zippers and fasten all velcro tabs before washing. Use a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent, as standard detergents can leave residues that degrade the waterproof membrane. Machine wash on a warm, gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat; the heat from the dryer helps reactivate the water-repellent performance of the outer fabric.
Regarding compatibility, the jacket is designed as part of a modular layering system. It works best when paired with high-wicking base layers and either fleece or lightweight synthetic/down mid-layers. Avoid wearing it directly against the skin for extended periods to prevent oils from clogging the breathable membrane.
