Helly Hansen Odin Mountain Jacket wins USA based Outside Magazine Buyer's 2011 Guide Gear of the Year Award. "Last winter we tested 50 ski jackets and the more days we skied in them the more one thing became obvious: The Odin was our favourite," said Sam Moulton, editor of the Outside Buyer's Guide. "It was the one jacket that we loved equally on both sides of the rope. It's sleek, light and stretchy enough to wear in the backcountry, with just enough resort-friendly features to make easy when riding the lifts."
