W's Pace Wind Jacket
Description
What makes it special?
The Houdini Pace series is a collection of garments for high energy output activities. During the development process the Houdini design team had one thing in focus above everything else: The garments should feel amazing to wear. The shape of the garment, the light, flowy fabrics, the silent comfort. Because we believe that when you feel at your best, you will also perform better.
How does it work?
Women's Pace Wind Jacket is designed in a combination of two of our favorite fabrics: C9 Ripstop and Wish Woven. C9 Ripstop is a wind resistant but still highly breathable fabric that covers the chest and arms. Under the arms and at the sleeve endings, the soft and smooth Wish Woven provides exceptional comfort and breathability. Both fabrics are made with 70% recycled and fully recyclable polyester making the garment completely circular. The ripstop fabric over the chest and arms is coated with a biobased PFAS free water repellency treatment.
When should I use it?
Women's Pace Wind Jacket is the perfect garment if you are looking for an ultra light jacket for high intensity activities like running, training or cycling. It takes the worst edge off wind and rain but will never hinder breathability.
The jacket is completely recyclable and when it is completely worn out, please return it to us for recycling. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers. This way we can use the raw material for new products and greatly reduce the overall environmental impact.

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.
