W's Pace Trail Short Tights
Description
What makes this product special?
Lightweight and packable women's mid-thigh length tights for trail running that allows you to move unrestricted, featured with several pockets for storage. A fully circular product made of 100% recycled polyester. The materials can be recycled and used again and again.
How does the product work?
When different materials are mixed in the same fabric, it’s difficult to reuse the valuable materials and give them a second life in a new product. Pace Trail Short Tights are made of Circle Stretch Knit, a material made of 100% recycled polyester, without any fabric blends. This is groundbreaking, since producing a pair of stretchy and soft tights without elastane makes them fully circular by design. The stretch in this mono-material allows you to move unrestricted. Featured with several pockets for storage, they help you bring your essentials.
When should I use them?
These lightweight women's short tights are made primarily for trail running in spring, summar and fall but they also works perfectly to wear at the gym, on a hike or to yoga practice. Pace Trail Short Tights have features that will take you far.
When you’ve worn them out, they can be recycled into new tights again. And again. And again.

Materials and technology
After years of development, we can proudly present a fully circular running tights fabric. The advantage of pure polyester is that it dries much faster, is better for layering and has great moisture wicking qualities. It is also fully recyclable, which means that when traditional running tights become trash at the end of its lifespan, garments made with Circle Stretch Knit can become new products, saving resources, decreasing emissions and lower overall environmental impact. Circle Stretch Knit weighs in at 180 g/m² which is a very familiar weight for running tights.

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.
