M's Pace Split Shorts
Description
What makes them special?
The Pace series is a collection of garments designed for high pulse activities. What really sets the garments apart is how it feels to wear them. The touch of the fabrics, the fit, the way the garments move and how they sound. Men’s Pace Split Shorts are designed for elevated comfort in action because we believe that when you feel better, you will also do better.
How do they work?
Men’s Pace Split Shorts are made with C9 Stretch, an ultralight, stretchy and silent fabric perfectly suited for hot summer days. The fabric weighs in at only 67 g/m² and you will almost feel like you’re wearing nothing. The intergrated stretchy inner briefs heighten the comfort and the hidden elastic and drawstring at the waist in combination with long side slits ensure a perfect fit. A hidden pocket at the back of the waistband will hold your keys or credit card.
When should I use them?
Men’s Pace Light Shorts are designed for high pulse activities like running or training in warm, humid conditions. The ultralight, stretchy and breathable fabrics, will keep you cool and free to move.
When your Pace Light Shorts are completely worn out, please return them to Houdini for recycling. This way, none of the raw materials will go to waste and instead become new, useful products.

Materials and technology
A light yet durable woven fabric with great breathability and excellent next-to-skin comfort. The C9 fabric is a trusted Houdini classic. It takes the edge out of the wind, but not at the expense of air- or vapor transmission, perfect for high pace activities. In C9 Stretch, we took everything we love with the C9 fabric but added stretch polyester fibers to create a fabric more suitable for garments like running shorts where a non-stretchy fabric can hinder freedom of movement. The fabric is made with 50% recycled polyester, 50% stretch polyester and is fully recyclable.

Care instructions
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 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.
- Tumble dry on low heat.
- Iron on low heat.
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.
