FAQs
What is Lifa Infinity™ technology?
Lifa Infinity™ is Helly Hansen's innovative waterproof/breathable technology that provides durable and long-lasting protection against the elements.
What is a Recco® reflector, and why is it important?
The Recco® reflector is a passive transponder that enhances your safety in case of an avalanche. It reflects signals from Recco® detectors used by search and rescue teams, allowing them to locate you quickly.
How should I layer with these trousers?
Layering is essential. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating mid-layer for warmth, and use the Odin Backcountry Infinity Shell Trousers as your outer layer for protection against the elements.
Can I use these trousers for other activities besides backcountry skiing?
Yes, they can be used for other outdoor activities where waterproof and breathable protection is required, such as hiking or mountaineering. However, they are specifically designed for the demands of backcountry skiing.
How do I clean the trousers?
Machine wash cold (30°C), do not use fabric softener, tumble dry low, and do not iron. Always follow the care instructions on the garment label.
What is the D-ring in the thigh pocket for?
The D-ring in the thigh pocket is designed to secure your avalanche beacon or other small essential items.
Are these trousers insulated?
No, the Helly Hansen Odin Backcountry Infinity Shell Trousers are a shell pant. They are designed to be layered with insulating garments to provide warmth.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the trousers.
Check if the trousers are clean. Dirt and grime can reduce the waterproof performance. Re-apply durable water repellent (DWR) treatment if necessary. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.
Difficulty with mobility.
Ensure you have the correct size. The articulated knees should provide a full range of motion. Check for any binding or restrictions from layers underneath.
Ventilation zippers are difficult to operate.
Check for snow or ice buildup around the zippers. Ensure the zippers are clear of any obstructions and that they are fully closed after use.
