Next generation technical knitted insulation. Men’s half zip mid-layer featuring a hi-tech knit construction providing exceptional breathability and comfort.

The Men's Lykan Half Zip is a next-generation technical insulation garment designed for high-intensity cold-weather activities like ski touring, running, and winter training. Crafted from a unique, textured recycled polyester yarn using a zero-waste 3D knitting technique, it delivers exceptional warmth-to-weight, dynamic stretch, and superior breathability. Featuring integrated seamless details and a high-zippered ribbed collar for quick ventilation, this fully circular piece functions as both a next-to-skin base layer or a thermal mid-layer, offering performance-driven comfort designed to be returned to Houdini for recycling.

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.
