W's Motion Pants

A true Houdini classic. Motion Pants are four season outdoor pants suitable for everything from hiking to ice skating or mountaineering. The single layer softshell is wind and water resistant, soft, stretchy and very durable.

Motion Pants have been in our range for almost ten years and they have been tested in the most difficult conditions. The slim fit, minimalist design and balanced material makes them a true multi tool and we believe that’s a big reason why so many of our customers love them.

They work just as well for hiking or mountaineering in the summer to cross country skiing or ice skating in the winter.

The fabric is a single layer soft shell called Eco Circle® Motion Comfortshell™. It’s made in pure 41% recycled and fully recyclable polyester. The fabric has a smooth, durable outside and a soft, cozy inside. It’s wind and water resistant but still highly breathable.

If you are looking for a pair of outdoor pants to use all year around for any adventure, Motion Pants are a great match. They are also completely recyclable so when you wear them out (this will take many years), please return them to us. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Shell garment with membrane

Our shells with a membrane are made in 2, 2.5 or 3 layers. The construction of the garment differs depending on how many layers it has. Let us break it down for you: A 2 layer shell always has a separate lining on the inside to protect the membrane. A 2.5 layer shell is a lighter shell that has an outer fabric, which is laminated with a membrane. Then, a protective print is added over the membrane, forming the last layer 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 a bit heavier.

• Air out clothes instead of washing them to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer. Make sure to wash your shell if it has been used in salt water or has gotten very sweaty or dirty as this weakens the performance of the garment. They can reduce the fabric’s breathability and damage the water repellent surface. The dirt can even allow for moisture to leak through the fabric.
• Use a washing bag to protect your garments and to prevent fibers from leaking. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe it clean and throw the lint in your trash can. Never rinse it in water since we don’t want the fibers to end up in lakes or oceans.
• Machine wash cold.
• There are special detergents for shells, but mild, environmentally certified detergents work just as fine. Make sure to use the right dose.
• Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
• Hang dry. Just remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the outer fabric. Use a drying cabinet, dryer or iron. Make sure you monitor the heat so the garment does not melt.
• You can reapply or enforce the water repellent treatment with a wash-in or spray when needed. Always use an organic DWR: You can find both a spray and a wash-in in the webshop or in our stores.

Recyclable

The fabric in this garment is fully recyclable. Instead of becoming waste, the raw material can be used for new products. Our goal is that by 2030, we will take no raw material to our products from the earth's crust. Circular products, made from reycled and recyclable materials are a real game changer, but we need your help for the system to work. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us. We have recycle units in all of our own stores and at many retailers.
