Key Features

Durable Softshell Construction.  The Odin Huginn 2.0 Softshell Pants are crafted from a robust softshell fabric that is designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor activities. The material is not only durable but also flexible, offering excellent mobility. This makes the pants ideal for activities that require a wide range of motion, such as climbing or scrambling over rough terrain.

 

Water-Resistant and Windproof.  Helly Hansen has engineered these pants to provide superior protection against the elements. The softshell fabric is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, making the pants water-resistant and windproof. Whether you’re caught in a light drizzle or facing gusty winds at high altitudes, the Odin Huginn 2.0 pants will keep you comfortable and dry.

Breathable and Comfortable.  Despite their protective features, the Odin Huginn 2.0 pants are also highly breathable. The fabric allows moisture to escape, preventing you from overheating during high-intensity activities. This breathability, combined with the soft, brushed interior, ensures that you stay comfortable no matter how demanding the conditions.

 

Athletic Fit with Articulated Knees.  These pants are designed with an athletic fit that strikes the perfect balance between form and function. The slim cut reduces bulk, while the articulated knees and gusseted crotch provide enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement. This design makes the Odin Huginn 2.0 pants ideal for activities that require precision and agility.

 

Practical Storage Options.  The Helly Hansen Men’s Odin Huginn 2.0 Softshell Pants come equipped with several well-placed pockets, allowing you to keep essentials within easy reach. The zippered thigh pockets are perfect for storing items like maps, compasses, or snacks, while the hand pockets offer additional storage options.

 

Adjustable Features for a Customized Fit.  For added comfort and versatility, these pants include adjustable features such as a waistband with hook-and-loop fasteners and ankle zippers. These allow you to fine-tune the fit according to your preferences and the demands of your activity. Whether you need to tighten the waistband for a secure fit during a climb or loosen the ankle zippers to accommodate hiking boots, the Odin Huginn 2.0 pants have you covered.

 

Performance in the Field

I recently tested the Helly Hansen Odin Huginn 2.0 Softshell Pants on many challenging hikes in the mountains, and they performed exceptionally well. The pants provided excellent wind protection during a breezy ascent, and the water-resistant finish kept me dry when I encountered light rain showers. Despite the tough conditions, the pants remained breathable, and the articulated knees allowed for easy movement over rough terrain. The practical pockets were a bonus, keeping my essentials close at hand without feeling bulky.

 

Conclusion

The Helly Hansen Men’s Odin Huginn 2.0 Softshell Pants are an outstanding choice for outdoor enthusiasts who require high-performance gear that can stand up to the elements. With their durable construction, weather-resistant features, and comfortable fit, these pants are perfect for hiking, climbing, and other demanding activities. If you’re looking for a reliable pair of softshell pants that offer both protection and flexibility, the Odin Huginn 2.0 is a top contender.
