Houdini Activist Balaclava
The Activist Balaclava from Houdini is the ideal choice for anyone looking for the perfect gear for outdoor activities such as skiing, climbing, hiking, or biking. Made from a high-quality blend of 60% merino wool and 40% Tencel®, this balaclava offers outstanding comfort. The wool is particularly fine (19.3 µm) and naturally regulates odors, while the Tencel® content ensures a soft feel against the skin and effective moisture wicking.
Thanks to its overlapping design, the balaclava fits perfectly on any head shape and sits comfortably under a helmet. The material’s mechanical stretch allows for unrestricted freedom of movement, making it the perfect companion for athletic activities. The slim fit also ensures that it hugs the head snugly while keeping you warm, without restricting your range of motion.
Another advantage of the Activist Balaclava is its versatility. It keeps you warm in cold temperatures while providing a cooling effect in warmer conditions. This makes it an essential accessory for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors and doesn't want to compromise on comfort and functionality.

Care instructions
- Use our wash bag to protect your clothes.
- Machine wash cold, preferably with a wool program.
- If possible, use wool detergent. Otherwise, mild, environmentally certified detergents and be sure to use the correct dosage. Choose a detergent that contains a neutral pH and no enzymes.
- Avoid the use of bleaches and alkaline substances that increase the pH. As well as the use of enzymes such as protease or amylase, as they can degrade the wool that gives the material its natural performance properties. This also applies to silk.
- Avoid fabric softener. This is not only harmful to our environment, but also negatively affects the performance of clothing, especially moisture transport and breathability.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Shape the garment after washing and lay flat to dry.
Technologies and manufacturing processes
Circular
This product is completely circularly produced. Means: It is made from either recycled and recyclable fibers. Most products in today's society have a linear life cycle where the earth's resources are extracted, used and then thrown away. This doesn't work in the long run and has a big impact on the environment. Instead, we want to close the production cycle and reuse materials we already have. But we need your help. If one day your Houdini apparel is completely worn out, please bring it back to us. We have recycling units in all Houdini stores and at many of our retailers.biodegradable
The material in this product is completely biodegradable. We never mix our natural fibers with synthetic fibers, nor do we use harmful chemicals. So you can even compost your clothing and Mother Nature transforms it back into fertile soil. Ingredients such as zippers, tags and stitching must be removed beforehand, but can often be recycled separately. If you don't have your own compost, bring your worn out clothes to us. We have recycling units at many of our retailers.Renewable
The fibers in this product come from 100% renewable sources such as wool or cellulose. We use only natural fibers that have been produced in an environmentally friendly and ethical way. Natural and synthetic fibers are used, they both have their merits. However, we never mix them in order to obtain a circularly produced product. This means that the material of all our products made of natural fibers is completely biodegradable.Recyclable
The material of this product is fully recyclable. Instead of becoming waste, the raw material can be used for new products. Our goal is to remove no more new raw materials from the earth's crust by 2030. Circular products made from recycled or recyclable materials can truly change the game of manufacturing culture. We need your help, though. If your Houdini apparel is completely worn out, please bring it back to us. We have recycling units in all of our own stores and at many of our retailers.
