HH ODIN MINIMALIST INFINTY SHELL JACKET. HIGHLIGHTS.
This jacket seeks, according to the brand, to provide us with a professional performance with innovative and responsible technology that pays tribute to waterproofness and breathability. Let’s see what arguments they rely on.
- INFINITY LIFA MEMBRANE: The Odin Minimalist Infinity Shell Jacket features the revolutionary LIFA INFINITY membrane, waterproof and breathable, achieved without chemicals. The veteran’s LIFA technology is the Helly Hansen’s patented fiber in the 1970s, lightweight and hydrophobic. The new LIFA INFINITY membrane developed from 2019 is fully waterproof and breathable. It is based on durable water-repellent performance that is achieved without chemicals. Thus, it achieves eternal water-repellent protection that never needs to be re-waterproofed with a chemical treatment after use.
- DEPERLANTE DWR. In addition to the membrane, the deperlante is an outer surface layer that keeps the droplets compact and prevents them from heating. This way, with barely shaking the jacket those drops fall to the ground. It works in conjunction with the membrane, each in its role to combine professional grade waterproofness and breathability.
- OPTIMAL PATTERN AND FINISHES: Another of the most outstanding advantages is the functional design of the Odin Minimalist Infinity Shell Jacket. It can be quickly and easily stored in your chest pocket, has a premium hood, with co-implant fit in case of blizzard and helmet capable. Toped all with a chest pocket for mobile, keys or similar usage.
RECCO TECHNOCLOGY
It has an integrated Recco reflector. The reflector is a tiny (13 mm × 51 mm × 1.5 mm) capsule, and very light (4g) containing a pair of leaf antennas joined by a diode. It is a simple electronic method that comes standard, to find people trapped under an avalanche or lost in hard-to-reach areas. Its inventor was Magnus Granhed, in Ere, Sweden and has been operational since 1980.
The Recco system consists of two parts: A reflector (integrated into clothing, such as this and a detector in the hands of professional rescue teams. The detector sends a directional signal that bounces when hit with a reflector. Using the signal, a trained professional can determine the precise location of the buried victim.
Of course, it can never replace the usual Arva system (Avalanche Victim Detector), Shovel and Probe. But given the expensive of it and the complex of driving for many new mountain fans, any help can be vital. And in this case, the Recco allows, when rescue professionals manage to get to the place at full speed, to increase our options.
