HOUDINI W's Mono Air Vest

Light, versatile and durable women's vest for every adventure and all seasons. Made with Polartec® Power Air Light, a groundbreaking fabric specifically designed to combat plastic waste. Wind and water resistant.

What makes it special?
Mono Air Vest is the latest addition to our award winning Mono Air insulation series, an innovation both in terms of performance and sustainability. The Mono Air fabric is specifically designed to combat plastic waste. It sheds a fraction of the microfibers compared to conventional fleece and is made from recycled and recyclable materials.

Women's Mono Air Vest is equipped with two super roomy zippered side pockets to stash that 450-page Stormriders Guide to the World, your climbing shoes and a lunch box. The front of the vest has a wind resistant face that takes the edge of cold gusts when used as an outer layer.

How does it work?
With conventional fleece, the cut-off fibers that create the fuzzy structure are exposed and can therefore shed from the garment during wash or when you use it. In Mono Air, endlessly long and lofty fibers are knitted into small pockets between a face and back fabric. The pockets trap warm air from your body to create insulation and at the same time protect the insulating fibers from escaping. The face of the fabric is reinforced with a hardface treatment that prevents pilling and snagging. The result is a smooth and strong fabric that will keep you warm and endure years of hard use.

When should I use it?
The women's Mono Air Vest is a versatile lightweight garment for 4-season use, giving you countless opportunities for layering and use. Mono Air Vest will be great for a hike, doing some gardening, biking, touring or whatever comes to mind. If you're aiming to live large with less, Mono Air Vest is a great choice for a well curated wardrobe.

Please don’t throw this garment away when it’s worn out. Mono Air Vest is made from recycled and recyclable fibers. The raw materials are valuable and can be used again. Bring it back to a Houdini shop or one of our retailers that has a Houdini recycling unit.
