M's Power Air Houdi

Power Air Houdi is the result of an innovation project by Houdini and Polartec®. The goal was to solve the problem of microfiber shedding from synthetic fleece. The scientific community still don’t know the full consequences of microplastic pollution but it’s a growing problem. Synthetic fabrics is one of many sources of microplastics in our waters and that’s why we decided to do our part to stop it.

Power Air from Polartec is a fabric with a completely new fabric construction. Instead of being exposed, the microfibers that trap air and generate heat are encapsulated in small pockets. This creates a fabric that has the performance benefits of regular fleece but shed up to five times less fibers compared to the best quality fabrics on the market. It’s also primarily made from recycled polyester so besides from preventing plastic waste, it actually built from post consumer plastic.

Power Air Houdi is a light, airy and wonderfully warm insulation jacket that you can wear all year around. The low-friction surface makes it perfect to layer under your shell jacket in the winter. The breathable fabric provides the perfect temperature on its own during a chilly summer evening. The fit of the jacket is based on the Iconic Houdini Power Houdi, with slim fit, a snug high collar hood and extended sleeves with thumb loops.

This is the perfect choice if you are looking for a light, warm and breathable fleece jacket for any adventure all year around.

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 gentle 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.
• Do not dry in dryer. This exposes both the garment and the environment to unnecessary wear and tear. Most polyester garments dry quickly anyway.
• Hang dry.
• Do not iron.

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.

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.
