W's Rollercoaster Bib Pants

When the Houdini design team developed the Women’s Rollercoaster Bib Pants, the goal was to elevate the experience and feeling of wearing a shell. To achieve a feeling of full freedom of movement, we had to go beyond the basic principles of garment cutting. Instead, the design is based on our Made-to-Move draping technique, where the garment is designed from a single piece of fabric on a body in motion. Combined with the stretchy, silent and smooth fabric Loop Hardshell, you get a pair of top level performance shell pants that feels like a dream to wear.

Women’s Rollercoaster Bib Pants are designed for all types of alpine skiing and mountaineering adventures, but it is on the deep powder days they really excel. The well fitted bib will help to keep you warm and keep snow out even if you fall and tumble around (it happens to the best of us). A pair of adjustable suspenders will hold your pants in place and let you adjust the fit. The side vent zippers are harness compatible and the side pockets are constructed with an inner pocket to keep a transceiver or your valuables in place. The leg endings are equipped with a snow gaiter, a gusset to fit any boot well and a hidden metal hook for attachment to boots. The inside of the legs are reinforced with Schoeller® panels to prevent cuts from steel edges.

If you are looking for a pair of fully featured bib shell pants for skiing or snowboarding, Women’s Rollercoaster Bib Pants is your match. Maximal functionality and elevated comfort in a durable design that will last for many years. When it eventually wears out, the recycled and recyclable fabrics can go back into the loop and become new garments. Nothing goes to waste. Like all our garments, the Women’s Rollercoaster Bib Pants are made with clean technology and completely free from PFAS or other harmful chemicals.

Membrane: Atmos™

Atmos™ Membrane is a hydrophilic membrane, not micro porous, and at the molecular-level moisture moves through the fabrics. The more moisture that is in circulation the greater the ability of the membrane to move moisture away from your body. With Atmos we are sure we have a membrane that delivers Houdini standards when it comes to high performance in an environmentally sustainable way, which no other membrane at the market can live up to. Atmos™ membrane is made from recyclable polyester.

All our shell garments are 100% free from PFAS, read more here.

Shell pants with membrane

• Air out clothes instead of washing them to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer. Make sure to wash your shell if it has been used in salt water or has gotten very sweaty or dirty as this weakens the performance of the garment. They can reduce the fabric’s breathability and damage the water repellent surface. The dirt can even allow for moisture to leak through the fabric.
• 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 cold.
• There are special detergents for shells, but mild, environmentally certified detergents work just as fine. 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.
• Hang dry. Just remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the outer fabric. Use a drying cabinet, dryer or iron. Make sure you monitor the heat so the garment does not melt.
• You can reapply or enforce the water repellent treatment with a wash-in or spray when needed. Always use an organic DWR: You can find both a spray and a wash-in in the webshop or in our stores.
• Remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the fabric.

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.

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.
