W's Alto Wool Crew
Circular
Recyclable
Description
Design of functional and versatile midlayer has always been one of Houdini's specialties. Alto Wool Crew is a warm and cozy garment made in a natural mix of 60% merino wool and 40% Tencel®.
Merino wool provides warmth and a natural odor resistance, while the cellulose-based fiber Tencel® gives the material structure and improved moisture transport.
Let this natural fleece keep you warm during the big adventures and in everyday life. The material has effective thermal insulation when worn under a winter coat or shell jacket for skiing and other winter sports. The open structure of the material allows air to flow through, allowing you to ventilate any excess heat. This is a garment that is useful all year round.
Alto Wool Crew is a perfect choice for those looking for a warm and technical sweater for everything from skiing to hiking, or just to keep warm on cold days.
Please do not throw away the garment when it is worn out. Alto Wool Crew is made from recycled and recyclable fibers. The valuable raw materials can be reused. Feel free to drop off the garment at a Houdini store or take it to a retailer that has one of our recycling units.

Care advice
base layer, base garment and fleece
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.
- Do not tumble dry, it wears out both the clothes and the environment unnecessarily. Most synthetic garments dry quickly anyway.
- Hang dry.
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.
biodegradable
The material in this product is biodegradable. Thanks to the fact that we do not mix our natural materials with synthetic fibers and do not use harmful chemicals, you can compost the product and the only thing left is nutritious soil. Details such as washcloths, zippers, seams, etc. must be cut off and can usually be recycled separately. If you do not have your own compost, you can return the product to us when it is completely worn out. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.
renewable
The label renewable means that the product is made entirely of natural, renewable materials. We only use natural fibers that are environmentally sustainable and ethically produced. We use both natural materials and synthetic fibers, both have their advantages, but we never mix them to ensure the product is circular. This means that all fabrics in our products made from natural materials are biodegradable.
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.
