Houdini W's Up Jacket

Description

Stay warm without being weighed down. Houdini W's Up Jacket is a lightweight insulation jacket padded with Primaloft® Gold Active+. Wear it under your shell for extra warmth or as a light outer layer. Perfectly suited for skiing, mountaineering, hiking or everyday use.

Why is it called Up Jacket? Because it’s not a down jacket. Get it? But besides being free from feathers, it's also so light that it will never hinder your ascent. Perfect for ski touring, climbing or hiking. Wear it as a light outer layer or bring it in your backpack to stay warm during breaks. The outer fabric Spinner Ripstop™ is extremely durable for its low weight and will last for many years of wear and tear. The jacket is lined with a super light, breathable fabric with great next-to-skin comfort.

Up Jacket is padded with Primaloft® Gold Active+, a cutting edge synthetic padding. It has excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and great breathability. It’s also highly packable. We only use synthetic padding because we don’t want to steal the feathers from any birds. It also performs better, especially in wet conditions. Primaloft® Gold Active+ is made from 55% recycled polyester and is fully recyclable.

Up Jacket is the perfect choice if you are looking for a light and versatile insulation jacket. It will keep you warm on any mountain expedition or just a cold day in the city. After many years, when the jacket is completely worn out, please bring it back to us for recycling.

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.
