Houdini W D JACKET, True Black

Womens waterproof breathable Apex 3-layer Hardshell

Product description for Houdini W D JACKET, True Black Outerwear Female

You can never go wrong with D Jacket for women. It’s the most versatile waterproof and breathable jacket by HOUDINI.

Wear it for skiing or mountaineering, hiking, kayaking or any activity where you need full weather protection and unhindered freedom of movement.

When the design department at HOUDINI started sketching D Jacket for women, they wanted to make the ultimate “workhorse” shell jacket. Something robust enough for skiing and mountaineering, but still light and agile enough to work all year around for any type of activity. The solution was to combine a Made to Move construction with the light and durable Apex 3-layer Hardshell.

Apex 3L Hardshell is a fully waterproof and breathable shell fabric made of recycled polyester. It’s also fully recyclable, making D Jacket recyclable at the level of a soda bottle. The membrane in the jacket is the Atmos, a hydrophilic membrane completely free from harmful fluorocarbons. Both in the membrane and the water repellent.

D Jacket has armpit ventilation zips, helmet compatible hood, and a removable snow gaiter. Two side pockets, a chest pocket as well as internal chest pockets will keep your belongings in place.

If you are looking for a year around do-it-all shell jacket, HOUDINI can highly recommend D Jacket. It will accompany you on everything from ski touring to kayaking for many years to come.

• Air out clothes instead of washing them to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer. Make sure to wash your shell if it has been used in salt water or has gotten very sweaty or dirty as this weakens the performance of the garment. They can reduce the fabric’s breathability and damage the water repellent surface. The dirt can even allow for moisture to leak through the fabric.
• 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.
• Machine wash cold.
• There are special detergents for shells, but mild detergents work just as fine. Make sure to use the right dose.
• Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for the environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
• Hang dry. Just remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the outer fabric. Use a drying cabinet, dryer or iron. Make sure you monitor the heat so the garment does not melt.
• You can reapply or enforce the water repellent treatment with a wash-in or spray when needed. Always use an organic DWR.
• Remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the fabric.
