Description
What makes it special?
Women's Dunfri Guide is an extension of our beloved Dunfri Insulation Series. It is built with the same fit and features as the classic Dunfri, but features a sturdier outer fabric. The added durability makes it a real adventure workhorse, perfect for climbers, guides and others who spend a lot of time outdoors and tend to wear things down quickly.
How does it work?
Women's Dunfri Guide is insulated with Primaloft® Gold. When it comes to insulation, the thinner the fiber, the softer and more compressible the material gets, and the padding used in the Dunfri series is made of ultra-fine synthetic fibers that are inherently hydrophobic, meaning the fibers themselves are water resistant. The loft created by the fibers traps heat generated by your body in a soft, resilient layer of warm air that keeps water out but allows moisture to move from the inside out.
The face fabric Switch Woven is an incredibly strong yet light fabric that can take years of hard use and the liner fabric is an ultralight, smooth fabric called Spinner Ripstop. This combination of materials create a highly packable, durable and versatile garment that is perfectly suitable for layering and can easily be stowed in your backpack. An adjustable hood, adjustable bottom hem, zippered side pockets and built in stow pocket adds to the functionality.
When should I use them?
Women's Dunfri Guide is ideal for any outdoor activity when you need durability and warmth: Climbing, hiking, camping or simply an active everyday life. You can also wear it as a powerful insulation garment underneath a shell jacket for moderate activities in really cold conditions.
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
Padded garments
Our padded garments are made with synthetic insulation from Primaloft. There are many advantages to a synthetic padding compared to down: You don't have to tumble dry the garment with balls to regain the shape, it dries faster and it doesn't smell when it's damp.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
