W's Cross Top

When Houdini was founded over 25 years ago, it started as a company making functional underwear for mountaineering. The products have gone through many iterations and improvements over the years. New materials and learnings have evolved the garments but the general idea is the same. When you feel comfortable all the way from your skin, your performance level will increase dramatically.

Cross Top is made in Liquid Flow™, a soft, stretchy and durable blend of 78% recycled polyester and 22% elastane. It offers light support. The fabric is quick-drying and works well for high intensity activities and water sports like kayaking. If you go for a spontaneous swim after your run, it can stand in as a bikini top too.

We can recommend Cross Top to anyone that is looking for a versatile and functional sports top that will last for many years. It works all year around for almost any activity.

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.

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.
