The jacket that earns its place in every pack. Featherlight, feather-free
The challenge with an insulated jacket isn't warmth – it's warmth without bulk, and warmth without the performance failures that come from down when conditions turn wet. Most synthetic alternatives compromise on packability. The Women's Dunfri doesn't. Padded with PrimaLoft Gold – the premium tier of synthetic insulation, which retains its warmth-to-weight performance even in damp conditions, compresses for packing, and bounces back to full loft on deployment – the Dunfri sits at just 370g for a women's medium. The Spinner Ripstop face and lining are 100% recycled polyester, treated with a PFAS-free water repellency finish so the jacket sheds light drizzle without harmful chemistry. Stuff it into a pack pocket before the approach, pull it out at the summit, layer it under a shell in proper winter conditions, or wear it as a standalone on cold but dry days.

- Air clothes instead of washing if the clothes are not too dirty. You save water, energy and make clothes last longer.
- Use a laundry bag. It is important when you wash synthetic clothes as it protects your garments and prevents microfibers from leaking out. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe clean and dispose of lint in the bin. Never rinse the laundry bag with water as the fibers can then end up in lakes and oceans.
- Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees.
- Wash with mild environmentally certified detergents and be sure to use the correct dosage.
- Avoid fabric softener. In addition to being bad for the environment, it impairs the garment's performance, especially moisture transport and drying time.
- Hang dry, but add heat to the garment after washing so that the water-repellent surface of the outer fabric is reactivated. Use a heating cabinet, tumble dryer or iron, just make sure to keep an eye on the heat so the garment doesn't melt.

Since 1993, Houdini has been asking a question the outdoor industry rarely considers: does this product deserve to exist? Founded in Stockholm and shaped by the mountains and waterways of Scandinavia, the brand is resolutely anti-trend. Instead, every design idea is interrogated with a series of asks: will this product last long enough? Is it versatile enough? Does it have a next-life solution?
Often, the answer shows up in the fabric. 100% of the materials Houdini uses for its current collection are recycled, recyclable, renewable, biodegradable, or Bluesign-certified. These are not workarounds – they are the baseline, developed through years of partnerships with the best technical fabric producers in Japan, Italy, Sweden, and beyond. Take Polartec Power Stretch Pro, the legendary fleece that Houdini has used for over a decade. Or Airweb Knit – a seamless, hi-tech insulation fabric from Japan that produces zero waste in manufacture. Or PrimaLoft Gold synthetic fill, which performs like down without using a single bird's feather.
Houdini calls this circular approach “progressive performance design”. It means products are designed to be repaired, reused, or repurposed – so nothing ends up as waste. And it means garments that are genuinely better to use than anything else out there, built to become lifelong companions rather than seasonal purchases. For anyone who takes both their adventure and their responsibility to the planet seriously, this is the brand.
