Core warmth. Nothing more, nothing less

A vest's strength is its simplicity: warm the core, leave the arms free. But most insulated vests still carry more weight and bulk than necessary, with seams that create pressure points when moving. The Men's Lykan Vest solves all three problems by applying Houdini's Airweb Knit technology. Knitted seamlessly in one piece using Shima-Seiki Wholegarment 3D technology, the Lykan Vest eliminates seams entirely – which means no bulk, no pressure points, and a garment that integrates into a layering system with a frictionless ease that conventional midlayers simply cannot match. The Teijin Waveron and Deltapeak yarn combination creates an open-knit structure that traps warm air efficiently while moving moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer comfortable across a wide range of activity levels and ambient temperatures. The 100% recycled and recyclable polyester construction is fully circular – and at just 250g for a large, it adds almost nothing to your pack. A core-warmth essential for ski touring, alpine climbing, or any activity where arm freedom matters.

- Air clothes instead of washing if the clothes are not too dirty. You save water, energy and it makes the clothes last longer.
- Feel free to use a laundry bag. 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.
- Tumble dry on low heat.
- Iron on low heat.
- Ethically Sourced Materials - This product is made with recycled and recyclable polyester.
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.
