What is the Houdini Jacket?
The Houdini Jacket is a weather-resistant (but not waterproof) jacket designed for fast-paced, high-output outdoor activities. It's exceptionally lightweight and packable, making it a great all-around piece for stuffing into a backpack.
What is it made of?
The Houdini Jacket is made with 100% recycled nylon ripstop.
Despite its lightweight nature, this material is incredibly robust and has a lower environmental impact, thanks to its 100% recycled composition.
A PFC/PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent) finish enables the surface material to resist light rain and snow.
PFC-free means perfluorinated chemical-free. Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), commonly used to add water repellent to textiles, are also known as forever chemicals and cause environmental harm, similar to PFAS.
PFAS means per- or poly-fluorinated alkyl; these are a group of industrial chemicals that also cause detrimental harm to the environment, often through product and garment manufacture.
These chemicals can't break down, so once they reach nature (usually via factory water waste), they stay in the ecosystem and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFAS and PFCs are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect mammal reproduction and hormone production. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are now prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a more responsible manufacturing process.
This product is also made in a Fair Trade Factory™, giving Patagonia more control of the operations in the factories they choose to work with. Patagonia proudly offers more Fair Trade styles than any other apparel brand in the current market. But how does it work? Patagonia pays a premium for every item made in one of these factories, and this money goes directly to the factory workers. A democratically elected committee of Fair Trade workers will decide how this extra money gets spent in each Fair Trade factory.The program also promotes worker healthand safety, and social and environmental compliance,while encouraging healthier dialogue between workers and management.
