Houdini Houdi Polartec Power Air

This hooded polar fleece jacket is made with PolartecÒ Power AirÔ technology, which addresses the problem of diffusing micro polluting fibers into nature. This material also allows you to benefit from high thermal efficiency thanks to a layer of air that remains trapped in the fabric.

 

It’s a fact, you no longer see any loss of fibers, balling or deposits in the washing machine or on underwear. The other thing that the Houdini Houdi PolartecÒ Power AirÔ promises is its insulation. We wore it for months, for hiking mode and in piste/freeride skiing. It has high thermal protection, which is surprising given how thin the jacket is. We even got too hot several times…

The fabric is stretchy and very comfortable. It seems durable, which was the case as after all its use it didn’t look any different at all. It has a slender fit and therefore doesn’t cause extra thickness: you can ski or walk comfortably wearing a protective jacket over the top.
Bad smells are limited under the arms.

 

If the thermal efficiency and its commendable approach of limiting the impact on the environment are beyond question, we must point out how heavy this Houdini Houdi PolartecÒ Power AirÔ is: 600g size M. A For comparison, we have a Mountain Hardwear fleece jacket made in classic Polartec that weighs 370g. The weight ratio is therefore high. What’s the consequence? We will keep using the Houdini Houdi PolartecÒ Power AirÔ for outdoor activities where weight is not essential: skiing, hiking, lifestyle.

 

Beyond the warmth of this Houdini Houdi PolartecÒ Power AirÔ, we particularly appreciated its cut and the protection it provides with the very high neck. The zip cursor is well protected: the chin is never irritated. When it’s windy, the hood on the jacket allows you to face the most extreme elements. There is a mini-adjustment on the hood at the side of the cheeks, which is comfortable against the skin.
Ditto at the wrists, which have thumb holes to protect the tops of the hands. Usually in this zone the seams have a lot of wear and tear, but not these ones.
The size is adjusted using two elastic adjustments hidden in the pockets.
This jacket is very fast drying.

 

The Houdini Houdi PolartecÒ Power AirÔ polar fleece jacket provides significant protection and insulation thanks to its technical material. The propagation of micro fibers is also controlled in order to protect the environment. On the other hand, its high weight limits its use to activities where weight is not very crucial.
