Aero Hat

What makes this product special?
Aero Hat is a perfect example of sustainable innovation and performance that go hand in hand. This light, airy performance hat will not only keep you warm and comfortable, but also contributes to a world with less waste and less micro plastic pollution.

How does it work?
The Polartec® Power Air™ Active fabric is engineered on a structural level to prevent microfiber shedding by trapping the airy filament fibers in small pockets in the fabric. It sheds 80% less microfibers compared to conventional fleece and is made from recycled and recyclable materials. Aero Hat is made of the new updated version of the fabric that has been completely rebuilt. Compared to the previous version, it is lighter, more stretchable, softer, faster drying and warmer. The fabric is also completely recyclable, meaning that the raw material that went into this garment never has to become waste again.

When should I use it?
Use the Aero Hat for high intensity activities in cold weather like ski touring, cross country skiing, winter running or hiking. Also works well to wear under a helmet. It is a true multitool that provides warmth and breathability for all seasons.

This garment is made with the future in mind using materials fit for recycling. Please return it to Houdini when it is eventually worn out and the raw materials can be used again. This way we reduce the need for virgin resources, decrease environmental impact and waste streams.

Synthetic materials

When washing clothes made of synthetic fabrics, the use of a washing bag becomes even more important: It prevents microplastics from entering into rivers and oceans.

• Air clothes instead of washing to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer.
• 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, max 40 °C/104 °F.
• Use mild environmentally certified detergents and 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.
• Tumble dry on low heat.
• Iron on low heat.

Bluesign®

The Bluesign® Label means that the production is vetted by a third party to eliminate any harmful chemicals or substances right from the beginning of the production process. This benefits both people, animals and our entire planet.

Circular

The Circular label means that this product is made either from recycled and recyclable or renewable and biodegradable fibers. Most products in today's society are made in a linear lifecycle, where earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This is not working in the long run and comes at a great environmental impact. Instead, we want to close the loop and reuse the material we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us through the recycling units we have in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Recyclable

The Recyclable label means that the raw material in this product can be used for new products, instead of becoming waste. 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.
