Winter jackets for men
A good winter jacket keeps you warm in cold and wind without feeling heavy. Houdini's winter jackets are insulated with synthetic Primaloft® insulation, and several have a waterproof outer fabric for wet winter weather.
How do I choose a winter jacket?
Think about three things: how cold it gets, how wet it gets and how long the jacket should be. For dry cold, a weather-resistant insulated jacket is enough. If it often rains or the snow is wet, you need a waterproof outer fabric. A parka covers your hips and suits everyday use and standing still, while a shorter jacket gives more freedom of movement.
Synthetic insulation or down?
Synthetic insulation gives roughly the same warmth for its weight as down, but it doesn't absorb water and therefore stays warmer when it's wet. The Primaloft® Gold in Double Dunfri keeps 98% of its insulating ability even in wet conditions.
Which Houdini winter jacket is right for you?
- Double Dunfri: the warmest, for real cold. Insulated with 200 g Primaloft® Gold, weather-resistant and flexible, just as good in the mountains as in the city.
- Fall in Parka II: a long parka with a waterproof outer fabric and storm hood, for wet and cold winter weather.
- Fall in Jacket III: a waterproof insulated winter jacket in a shorter cut.
- Dunfri Parka: light and packable, in a longer cut, insulated with Primaloft® Gold.
- Ride Insulated Jacket: a waterproof winter jacket that is also built for skiing.
The outer fabrics are made of recycled polyester and are PFAS-free. If something breaks, the jacket can be repaired through Houdini Repair.
What should I wear under my winter jacket?
On really cold days, a thin base layer and a mid-layer in fleece or wool make a big difference. Read more about how to build a layering system.
