This ISPO Gold Award winning mid-layer from Swedish brand Houdini Sportswear is made from Polartec Power Air technolgy.
Not only is it super comfy, but it has a lot less impact on the environment than the material’s previous incarnation. Polartec has been making fleece from recycled plastic bottles for decades so that’s nothing new. They’ve just improved their process. Power Air is made from 73% from recycled fibers and is itself, fully recyclable. What’s more, it will release five times fewer microfibers into the environment than traditional fleece. While so many are fixated on plastic straws, that’s what has been actually showing up in fish. Finally, for those interested in the supply chain, it has a bluesign certificate for sustainable and low-emission textile production.
The Houdi will be joined by the hoodless Mono Air Halfzip in the Fall.
