HOUDINI Pace Flow Half Zip

Light and airy performance mid-layer made with an innovative mesh fabric that provides warmth and exceptional breathability at a very low weight.

What makes it special?
How do you create the perfect personal microclimate during high pace activities? Warmth, weight and breathability are the critical factors and with Men’s Pace Flow Half Zip, it's a great leap forward in balancing this equation. It’s the perfect insulation garment for high pace activities all year around.

How does it work?
Men’s Pace Flow Half Zip is made with Polartec® Power Dry® Mesh, a lightweight mesh fabric that creates insulation without trapping excess heat or vapor. When you wear it as an outer layer it will let air flow through the garment and vent out any excess heat or moisture. When you wear it underneath a shell layer it will build a powerful layer of warm air that provides an exceptional level of insulation, especially considering the low weight.

When should I use it?
Men’s Pace Flow Half Zip is a garment designed for high pace activities during all four seasons of the year. Wear it over your t-shirt for that extra warmth on a chilly morning run or workout in the summer. As a part of a layering system it’s the perfect garment for ski touring, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in the winter. High insulation, low weight and exceptional breathability, that’s the magic formula.

Pace Flow Half Zip is made with 100% recycled polyester and is fully recyclable. Thanks to its filament fiber construction, it only sheds a fraction of microfibers compared to regular fleece. When your Pace Flow Half Zip is worn out, please return it to Houdini for recycling.

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.

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, Houdini wants to close the loop and reuse the material they already have. But they need your help. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to Houdini through the recycling units they have in all their own stores and at many retailers.

Recyclable
The Recyclable label means that the raw material in this product can be used for new products, instead of becoming waste. Houdinis goal is that by 2030, they will take no raw material to their products from the earth's crust. Circular products, made from reycled and recyclable materials are a real game changer, but they need your help for the system to work. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to Houdini. They have recycle units in all of their own stores and at many retailers.

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.
