M's Desoli Zip

Performance provided by nature itself - That’s the idea behind Desoli Zip. It’s a light base layer in 100% merino that will keep you warm on the mountain, in the city or anywhere in between. Works perfectly for skiing, climbing, hiking or any everyday adventure.

The Houdini design department has spent a lot of time, years in fact, finding the right fabric in pure merino wool. We never mix wool with synthetics, and finding a fabric that matched our high standards in performance, comfort and sustainability took countless fabric stroking meetings. After prototyping and extensive field testing, we decided on Solid Merino, a fantastic 100% merino wool fabric.

The Desoli Zip will keep you warm when it’s cold outside but it also has a cool touch when the weather is hot. Merino wool keeps its warmth even when it’s wet and it’s naturally odor resistant. The base layer has an athletic fit, integrated thumb loops and the back is cut slightly longer for extra comfort. It’s made from renewable fibers and it’s recyclable as well as biodegradable.

If you are looking for a minimalistic and versatile base layer that will work for everything from ice climbing to walking your dog, we can highly recommend the Desoli Zip. Our Desoli wool series consists of Zip, Crew, tee, tights and underwear. Find your favorites and mix and match as you please.

Wool material

Wool is a fantastic material with natural bacterial and dirt resistance. Therefore, wool does not need to be washed after every use. Frequent washing has a negative effect on the wool’s properties and unnecessarily wears down the garment. Instead, air your wool garments to reduce your water usage, save energy and make your 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 gentle wash max 30 °C/86 °F (cold), preferably with a wool program.
• If you can, use wool detergents. Otherwise use mild, environmentally certified detergents and make sure to use the right dose. Select a detergent that has a neutral pH and no enzymes.
• Avoid bleach and alkaline substances that raise the pH value. Also avoid enzymes such as protease or amylase since these can break down wool, which give this material its natural performance properties. This also applies to silk.
• Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
• Do not dry in tumble dryer.
• Shape the garment after washing and lay flat to dry.
• Iron on low heat.

Circular

This product is fully circular, meaning that it's 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.

Biodegradable

The fabric in this product is fully biodegradable. Thanks to that fact that we never mix our natural fibers with synthetics and don't use harmful chemicals, you can put the fabric in a compost and nature will transform the fabric into fertile soil. Trimmings like care labels, zippers, seams etc have to be removed and can often be recycled separately. If you don't have your own compost, you can return the worn out garment to us. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Renewable

The fibers in this garment comes from 100% renewable sources like wool or cellulose. We only use natural fibers that are produced in environmentally and ethically responsible sources. We use both natural and synthetic fibers, they both have their merits, but we never mix them to ensure a circular product. This means that the fabrics from all our products in natural fibers are fully biodegradable.

Recyclable

The fabric in this garment is fully recyclable. Instead of becoming waste, the raw material can be used for new products. 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.
