Description
What makes it special?
The outdoor industry is full of "bells and whistles" and superficial innovation, but sometimes new technology appears that has the potential to fundamentally change the playing field. The Lykan series is definitely one such case. The ultra-light, stretchy material takes both comfort and performance to the next level, molds to your movements and truly feels like an extension of the body.
How does it work?
The Men's Lykan Full Zip is a mid-layer pullover with a high collar and full zip, knitted with a unique, textured yarn that creates an extremely soft, lightweight and stretchy material with fuzzy texture. Details such as cuffs and collar are integrated into the garment instead of being sewn on, which improves both comfort and sustainability. The full-length zipper makes it easy to ventilate and adjust the temperature during activity. The light, airy and super soft material is ideal for insulation during high-intensity activities. It offers a level of breathability, warmth-to-weight ratio and comfort that traditional insulation garments cannot match. The material has a high moisture transport capacity and can be worn directly against the skin as a first layer or as a warming second layer.
This type of knitting basically generates no waste – we don't cut any fabric. The yarn is made from recycled and recyclable polyester, which makes the whole garment circular. Here, performance and sustainable innovation go hand in hand.
When should I use it?
Men's Lykan Full Zip is perfect for high-intensity activities in cold weather: Peak tours, hiking, Running or other type of outdoor training. The superior breathability keeps you warm without overheating, and the stretchy construction allows total freedom of movement. The high collar provides extra warmth when you need it most, while the full-zip construction makes the garment easy to ventilate and take on or off.
In conclusion, the Lykan Full Zip is a next-generation insulation garment that pushes the boundaries of comfort, performance and sustainability. Try it – and you'll never want to go back to traditional insulation garments.

Care advice
Synthetic clothing
When washing clothes made of synthetic materials, it is especially important to prevent the spread of microfibres in the water by using a laundry bag.
- Air clothes instead of washing if the clothes are not too dirty. You save water, energy and it makes the clothes last longer.
- Feel free to use a laundry bag. It protects your garments and prevents microfibers from leaking out. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe clean and dispose of lint in the bin. Never rinse the laundry bag with water as the fibers can then end up in lakes and oceans.
- Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees.
- Wash with mild environmentally certified detergents and be sure to use the correct dosage.
- Avoid fabric softener. In addition to being bad for the environment, it impairs the garment's performance, especially moisture transport and drying time.
- Tumble dry on low heat.
- Iron on low heat.
sustainability
circular
The label circular means that this product is made from either recycled and recyclable, or renewable and biodegradable materials. Most products in today's society are linear, where the earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This does not work in the long run and causes enormous strain on the environment. Instead, we want to close the circle and reuse the materials we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini products are completely worn out, return them to us through our recycling units located in all our own stores and many retailers.
Recyclable
The label Recyclable means that the fabric in this product is completely recyclable. Instead of becoming waste, the material can be used to manufacture new products. Our goal is to take no material from the earth's crust into our products by 2030. Circular products, made from recycled and recyclable materials, is a big change but we need your help to make the system work. Return your Houdini garments to us when they are completely worn out. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.
