Houdini skriver selv:
Light and durable women's performance tights for all types of outdoor adventures. Made in a recycled and recyclable polyester fabric, making the garment fully circular.
What makes them special?
Instead of blending in elastane to give the tights stretch, Women's Adventure Tights are made with pure polyester and a mechanical stretch given by the knitting technology. You get a warmer and “dryer” feeling compared to elastane tights, which is very pleasant against the skin and a lot more suitable for layering. It is also moisture wicking and dries a lot quicker. The fabric is rather firm and will feel ”tighter” compared to some tights but it will adapt to your body as you wear them.
Fabric and features
The pure polyester fabric also enables a circular design, where we use 57% recycled and fully recyclable fibers. Instead of just becoming trash at the end of their lifetime, the raw material in this product can be recycled and made into new useful things in an endless loop of awesomeness. Women's Adventure Tights have two highly useful stash pockets on the outside of the thigh, a low bulk waistband for extra comfort and a drawstring in the waist to adjust the fit.
When should I use them?
With the Adventure Tights, the Houdini design department has taken a classic garment but added layers of smartness to it, both in terms of functionality and sustainability. It’s the perfect choice if you are looking for a pair of versatile tights for running, training or hiking and at the same time do something good for our planet.
This product is recyclable and we kindly ask you to return it when it’s worn out. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.

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.
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.
