Houdini Power Houdi fleece jacket

SportFits product test of the Houdini Power Houdi

The Power Houdi has been an absolute classic in the Houdini range for over 20 years. We took a closer look at this high-quality fleece jacket to see what this model has to offer. 

Product features

Those interested in high-quality and sustainable outdoor fashion are sure to have come across the Swedish brand Houdini. Several members of the SportFits team now carry the warm Houdini Power Houdi in their wardrobe. Many have worn them for several months now, so we'd like to share our experiences with you.

But before we tell you what we think, here is some general information about the product:

The key features in a nutshell

In this video, Houdini designer Sanna Söderling explains the benefits and technologies of the Power Houdi.

The hooded jacket is made from a super-soft Polartec Power Stretch Pro fleece, which has an extremely supple surface and a cosy, warm inside. According to Houdini, this high-quality fleece material offers unrestricted comfort and is extremely robust and durable. The jacket also has a high collar, a close-fitting hood and practical thumb loops.

The individual ratings

Word of the quality of the Power Houdi quickly spread among the SportFits team. Of course, with an RRP of around 200.00 euros, the high-quality fleece jacket is in the high-priced mid-layer segment, but there are numerous advantages that justify the price.

The model is particularly durable and hard-wearing thanks to the Power Stretch™ Pro material from Polartec. Editorial team member Isa also thinks this is great: "I always think sustainable products are amazing. I'd rather buy a high-quality model and enjoy it for a long time than buy a cheap jacket every year that I'm not really happy with."

We love the fact that the Power Houdi is really suitable for everyone. It's available in many different colours for both men and women. There is even an extra version for children and teenagers! So the whole family can wear the Power Houdi partner look.

 Frostbite Katrin has the Power Houdi in the colour baremark green. "My favourite thing about it is that it's so nice and warm. As I'm often cold in winter, the Power Houdi is ideal for me. I also like to wear it under my winter coat. Even if the hood looks a bit funny when it's on, it fulfils its purpose and protects you perfectly from the icy wind."

Our buyer Leo is presented with many midlayers in his job. He also has nothing but positive things to say: "The Power Houdi is by far the most comfortable fleece jacket I own. It has an excellent fit and the workmanship is great. I also like the sporty, elegant look! Whether for hiking, skiing or with jeans - the Power Houdi always fits."

As soon as you slip it on, you realise that the Power Houdi is extremely high quality and pleasantly warm. I particularly like the fact that you have complete freedom of movement despite the relatively thick material and that they have thought of comfortable details such as thumb loops and zips on the pockets.

Paulina from the social media team emphasises another aspect: "I'm thrilled that the Power Houdi also fits a size EU48! Unfortunately, you don't find that very often in this sector. I'm also a fan of the large pockets on the outside and inside. But the highlight for me is the material. It feels great and keeps you warm without making you sweat."

Our conclusion

We give the Power Houdi a thumbs up!
We give the Power Houdi a thumbs up!

The feedback from our employees shows that the advantages of the Houdini Power Houdi clearly outweigh the disadvantages. Only the price may make some people hesitate. But we think that you should often treat yourself to something. In the case of a high-quality garment, you feel completely at ease when wearing it and can enjoy it for a long time.

Best of all, the Houdini Power Houdi is particularly sustainable thanks to its bluesign®-certified material, which means that by buying it, you're making a small contribution to protecting the environment.
