Care instructions
- Airing laundry instead of washing saves water and energy and extends the life of the garment. Be sure to wash your shell if it has been used in salt water or has become very sweaty or dirty, as this will weaken the garment's performance. This can reduce the breathability of the fabric and damage the water repellent surface. The dirt can even allow moisture to seep through the fabric.
- Use our wash bag to protect your clothes and prevent fiber leakage. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure you clean it and throw the lint in the trash can. Never rinse it in water, as we don't want the fibers to end up in lakes or oceans.
- Machine wash cold
- There are special detergents for shells, but mild detergents certified as environmentally friendly work just as well. Use the right dose.
- Avoid fabric softener. This is not only harmful to our environment, but also negatively affects the performance of clothing, especially moisture transport and breathability.
- Hang the shell out to dry. Just remember to apply heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water repellent surface of the shell fabric. Use a drying cabinet, dryer or iron. Make sure that the heat is well dosed so that the garment does not melt.
- You can reapply or reinforce the water repellent treatment as needed with a wash or spray. Always use an organic DWR: You can find both a spray and a wash in the webshop or in our stores.
- Remember to apply heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water-repellent surface of the fabric.
Technologies and manufacturing processes
Loop Hardshell™
Robust material with mechanical stretch offers a high level of comfort. Resistant and quiet with a matte and supple finish. Waterproof, breathable and abrasion resistant.Atmos™
Atmos Membrane™ is a hydrophilic non-microporous membrane. It allows moisture to escape at a molecular level. The more moisture that circulates, the better it also conducts the occurring wetness to the outside. The Atmos membrane guarantees the high Houdini standard in terms of function and sustainability, with which no other membrane on the market can compete. The Atmos Membrane™ is made of polyester and is completely free of harmful PFAS.Shell product with membrane
"Our shell products with a membrane are manufactured in versions of 2, 2.5 or 3 layers. The construction of the garment varies depending on how many layers it has. Here is an explanation": "A two-layer membrane layer always has a separate lining to protect the membrane. A 2.5-layer shell is a lighter shell that has an outer fabric laminated to a membrane. A protective print is then placed over the membrane, forming the final layer that is closest to the skin. 3-layer shells have an outer fabric laminated with a membrane and a thin knitted or woven lining on the inside. This makes the 3-layer shell more durable than a 2.5-layer shell, but it is also slightly heavier."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.Recycled
At least 50% of the fibers in this product come from recycled sources. Either from recycled clothing or other origin, such as from PET bottles. We use mainly recycled polyester, which has many advantages. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water consumption compared to virgin polyester. By how much depends on the recycled type. One of our suppliers, for example, brings it to 32% reduced CO2 emissions and 94% lower water consumption for mechanically recycled polyester. In addition to the impact of production, Houdini's main approach is to reuse supposed "waste" as raw materials instead of original virgin crude.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.Bluesign
This product is certified by Bluesign®. This means production is monitored by a third party to eliminate any harmful chemicals or substances from the production process from start to finish. This benefits all: People, animals and the entire planet.
