Collection made with fabrics sourced from the CLASS eco-library. 

In the early 90’s Houdini were the first company to develop performance underwear in stretch fleece. While on a skiing and climbing road trip in New Zeeland we discovered stretch fleece, a, at the time, revolutionary fabric and started developing products in accordance with ours and our friends needs and desires. Products that except for keeping us warm and dry provide exceptional freedom of movement, progressive styling and the possibility to pack lighter carry less and go further. Since then we have developed the range into a complete line of Core Comfort performance products including underwear, base layers, insulation and shells. Our progressive approach to performance, style and sustainability is unmistakable. Houdini is the brand of choice among Scandinavia’s core athletes and high-end retailers. The products are worn for their aesthetic values, just as often as for their level of performance. Today a substantial part of the range is made from recycled or renewable fibers, an even greater proportion is fully recyclable or biodegradable.

SS14 Collection

On a whiteout day in the mountains or on a late fall bouldering session, the full-zipped Econ Jacket will make you stay nice n’ toasty, without having to crank up the heat. We have developed this member of the Stretch Insulation family for the moments when the cold kicks in, and the base layers need a companion. With its clean cuts and straightforward design, the versatility is just great, while still delivering all the moisture-wicking, quick-drying qualities that we believe a technical fleece should. The main fabric, recycled Econ Stretch®, has a sweater-knit face with a soft micro fleece inside that will maintain your precious body heat, provide maximum freedom of movement and next-to-skin comfort.
