Puffy Square
Description
Puffy Square is multifunctional minimalism at its finest. The seemingly simple garment can do a lot for you. Let it keep you warm on your daily commute, wear it over your shell pants on a ski tour or when you’re belaying your climbing buddy. The wraparound construction make sure it always fits and that your movement is always unhindered. When you unfold it, you can use it as a picnic blanket or extra comforter over your sleeping bag when you’re camping. Be creative!
The wraparound construction makes is easy to adjust and put on and off. It also means that one size fits the entire family. The garment is made in Switch Woven and padded with Primaloft® Black. Switch Woven is a durable, silent and smooth fabric. It’s also wind- and water resistant. Primaloft Black is a top quality synthetic padding made with 100% recycled and 100% recyclable fibers. We only use synthetic padding from Primaloft because it’s light, warm, packable and stay warm when wet, but also because we don’t believe in stealing birds’ feathers to make clothes.
If you are looking for a versatile insulation garment to use from the mountain to the city and anywhere in between, we can highly recommend Puffy Square.
Please don’t throw away this garment when it’s worn out. Puffy Square 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.

Care instructions
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.
Sustainability
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.
