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

What makes it special? The Lykan Series redefines insulation with ultralight, stretchy material that moves like a second skin. It offers next-level comfort and performance—far beyond traditional garments.

How does it work? Men’s Lykan Half Zip is knitted from a unique textured yarn, creating a soft, airy, and highly breathable fabric. Integrated hems and collar enhance comfort and durability. It wicks moisture efficiently and works as both a base or thermal layer. The open-knit structure insulates under a shell and vents heat when needed.

When to use it? Ideal for high-intensity cold-weather activities like ski touring, hiking, or running. The stretchy one-piece knit ensures full freedom of movement, while the zippered collar adds warmth and quick ventilation.

This garment is made with the future in mind using materials fit for recycling. Please return it to Houdini when it is eventually worn out and the raw materials can be used again. This way we reduce the need for virgin resources, decrease environmental impact and waste streams.

material

Main Fabric: Airweb Knit™
Seamless 3D knitting concept using a unique, textured yarn achieving an extremely soft, light and stretchy fabric with a fuzzy texture, ideal for high intensity activities. It has a level of breathability, warmth-to-weight ratio and comfort that traditional insulation garments simply cannot compete with. It is highly moisture wicking and can be worn both as a first layer next to skin or as a second, thermal layer. The open, lofty and airy structure provides great insulation when you wear a protective layer over it, and instantly allows excess heat and moisture out when you open up to ventilate.

care instructions

Synthetic materials

• Air out garments to save water, energy, and extend lifespan
• Use a washing bag to prevent microplastic pollution
• Clean lint filters and dispose of lint in the trash — never rinse

sustainability

Recycled Garments with this label contain at least 50% recycled fibers, often from old clothes or PET bottles. Houdini mainly uses recycled polyester, which significantly reduces CO₂ emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester—up to 32% less CO₂ and 94% less water in some cases. The key shift: turning waste into raw material.

Recyclable This label means the garment’s raw material can be reused for new products. Houdini aims to stop using virgin resources by 2030. To support circularity, return worn-out garments to Houdini stores or partner retailers for recycling.
