Description
What makes it special?
Houdini has been making functional insulation garments since the start in 1993. We know the difference our “spot insulation” garments can make and Women's Moonwalk Shorts is the perfect example. A pair of insulation shorts might not be what you think of when you pack for a winter adventure, but when you start using them you will wonder how you could have lived without them before. Women's Moonwalk Shorts are an upgraded version of the popular Moonwalk Shorties with fully circular fabrics and a fit more suitable to wear over tights or long johns.
How does it work?
Women's Moonwalk Shorts are made from Polartec® Power Air™ Light, a fantastic fleece fabric. It’s light, stretchy and durable. The special construction with encapsulated filament fibers reduces microfiber shedding by 80%. The garment has insulation panels padded with PrimaLoft® Gold Active+, a warm, lightweight synthetic padding made from 55% recycled fibers. The combination of fabrics make a light, stretchy and very comfortable layering garment for cold days.
What should I use it for?
Women's Moonwalk Shorts are the ultimate garment to layer over a base layer underneath the shell pants on a cold day in the ski slopes. You can also wear it over a pair of running tights on frosty days on the trails. We can recommend Women's Moonwalk Shorts to anyone that needs a little (a lot actually) extra heat on any winter adventure.
This garment is recyclable and we kindly ask you to return it to Houdini at the end of its lifetime. We can use the materials to create new products, eliminate waste and save our planet’s precious resources. Houdini recycling units can be found in all Houdini stores and at many retailers.

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.
recycled
The label recycled means that this garment contains at least 50% recycled fibers (often more, see product description). The source is either recycled clothing or other sources such as PET bottles. We mainly use recycled polyester, which has many advantages. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester. One of our suppliers shows that mechanically recycled polyester saves 32% CO2 and uses 94% less water. In addition to the footprint of production, the big difference is that we use "waste" as raw material instead of crude oil.
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.
