Looking at this HH Odin jacket or Artecyx Atom Light for travel trips with light hiking and touring…thoughts on best one? Looking for the one jacket I can pack.
Hi, The odin is a bit heavier than the Atom SL, more like the Atom LT (now the Atom Jacket). However it is more breathable, so in a cool windy situation, it may not be as warm. A really nice jacket, but as with all highly breathable jackets, they allow for a air flow in and out of them, keeping you more comfortable in higher output activities, but I feel, cooler doing casual activities on cool windy days. Then, a light softshell is nice to wear over it. The Atoms have a fleece panel on the sides for breathability, but more wind resistant fabric on the rest of the jacket. Both will pack well. It all just depends on your use, and weather conditions.
I find the biggest issue with this jacket is the naming. There's two, one with much less insulation than the other, and both having the super long name but one has 'light'. Spot on with most points, feels pretty good. Water resistance is pretty epic in light showers. I've unfortunately always overdressed thinking it wouldn't be warm but it's really warm.
Nailed it..an absolute 5 star review!! Wish all reviews were this this detailed.
Thank you, I'm trying!🙂
Very good review, thank you. I ve just bought one HH Odin for 80€ on a sale, to use it like a mid layer or shell, depends on the weather.
Nice, I'm sure that you will like it! 🙂
Thanks for the review.
I just purchased the XL, my chest is 44.5, 5-10”, 205.
I found most HH jackets run small. Hopefully I made the right decision.

This is a nice jacket, I was impressed. It's great for many activities.
It's 80 g/sm for most of it with a bit less in certain areas
Thank you for clarification. Great jacket.
I don’t like how HH makes their ski jackets too slim. U can barley pair it with a hoodie. I had to return the alpha jacket. Disappointing
