W's Mono Air Pullover

What makes it special?
Women's Mono Air Pullover takes both performance and sustainability to a new level. The fabric is engineered on a structural level to prevent microfiber shedding and it’s made from recycled and recyclable fibers. The fabric is called Power Air Light and made in the USA by Polartec®. It’s light, stretchy and has a great warmth-to-weight ratio. Women's Mono Air Pullover is the perfect choice if you are looking for a light performance fleece and at the same time contribute to a world without waste.

How does it work?
Instead of the conventional “fuzzy” fleece, the insulation fibers are trapped in small pockets of air. This way the level of insulation is kept but the microfiber shedding is reduced by up to 80% compared to conventional high quality fleece. The durable fabric and robust design will last for many years of use. The garment is designed in an athletic fit, with a snug collar, chest pocket and a minimalistic half-way zipper.

When should I use it?
Wear it as a light outer layer for running, hiking, climbing or any other outdoor adventure. It is also an excellent layering garment to wear underneath your shell jacket all year around. Women's Mono Air Pullover is the perfect choice if you are looking for a light, warm and versatile fleece jacket for 4-season use and at the same time contribute to a cleaner world. Performance and innovation goes hand in hand in this innovative garment.

Please don’t throw away this garment when it’s worn out. Mono Air Pullover is made from recycled and recyclable fibers. The raw materials are valuable and can be used again. Bring it back to a Houdini shop or one of our retailers that has a Houdini recycling unit.

Base layers, everyday garments and fleece made of synthetic fabrics

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 cold.
• 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.
• Do not dry in dryer. This exposes both the garment and the environment to unnecessary wear and tear. Most polyester garments dry quickly anyway.
• Hang dry.

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.

Recycled

The Recycled label means that this garment contains at least 50% recycled fibers (often more, see product description). The source is either recycled clothes or other sources like PET bottles. We mainly use recycled polyester, which has many benefits. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester. How much depends on the type of recycling. One of our suppliers show 32% less CO2 emissions and 94% less water use for mechanically recycled polyester. Besides the production impact, the major shift is using "waste" as raw material instead of crude oil.

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.

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.
