Description
What makes it special?
Cutting edge performance in combination with minimalistic and timeless aesthetics - This is the classic Houdini recipe and Ride Insulated Pants are no exception. These pants offer the perfect combination of effective weather protection and exceptional comfort. Skiing, snowboarding and everyday mountain life, Ride Insulated Pants keeps you warm through all your winter adventures.
How does it work?
Women's Ride Insulated Pants are made with the light, strong and smooth Flow 2L and insulated with Primaloft® Silver Hiloft Ultra. The face fabric is a 2-layer circular shell fabric, fully waterproof and breathable. Together with the warm, light and lofty 40 g Primaloft® insulation, you have a combination of materials that perfectly balances warmth, weather protection and comfort. You are fully sheltered from cold or wet weather but never weighed down or hindered to move freely.
Women's Ride Insulated Pants have all the features required for alpine adventures: Integrated boot snow gaiters, vent zippers, lower leg reinforcements, zippered leg pockets with internal phone pocket and adjustable waist and leg endings to ensure a perfect fit. This garment is also designed to minimize any negative impact on nature: The fabric and padding are made from recycled and recyclable fibers and the garment is completely free from PFAS.
When should I use it?
Women's Ride Insulated Pants are primarily designed for alpine skiing and snowboarding, but can definitely extend to other winter activities in cold weather. The insulation is balanced to provide good warmth but not overheat you when you are active.
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.

Care instructions
Shell pants with membrane
- 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.
- Remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the fabric.
Sustainability
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.
