Description
Never underestimate smart accessories! Often the small pieces of clothing make the difference between being dry, warm and comfortable or cold and miserable. Wet hands have never been a good recipe for a great day outdoors. Shelter Mittens are minimalist shell mittens, which means they have no lining but are developed to withstand water and wind. Use them with an inner glove or over your regular gloves to protect against bad weather.
Shelter Mittens are designed in Loop Hardshell™, a waterproof and breathable shell material made up of high density fibers – too superior sustainability. Compared to other materials with similar wear resistance, this material has a fascinatingly low weight. Matt and soft surface with mechanical two-way stretch. Made from 70% recycled fiber and fully recyclable.
We recommend Shelter Mittens to anyone looking for a versatile and minimalist shell mitten.
And please, don't throw away the garment when it's worn out. Shelter Mittens are made from recycled and recyclable fibers. The valuable raw materials can be reused. Feel free to drop off the garment at a Houdini store or take it to a retailer that has one of our recycling units.

Care advice
Synthetic clothing
When washing clothes made of synthetic materials, it is especially important to prevent the spread of microfibres in the water by using a laundry bag.
- Air clothes instead of washing if the clothes are not too dirty. You save water, energy and it makes the clothes last longer.
- Feel free to use a laundry bag. It protects your garments and prevents microfibers from leaking out. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe clean and dispose of lint in the bin. Never rinse the laundry bag with water as the fibers can then end up in lakes and oceans.
- Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees.
- Wash with mild environmentally certified detergents and be sure to use the correct dosage.
- Avoid fabric softener. In addition to being bad for the environment, it impairs the garment's performance, especially moisture transport and drying time.
- Tumble dry on low heat.
- Iron on low heat.
sustainability
Bluesign®
The label Bluesign® means that a third party ensures that all harmful chemicals or substances are eliminated from the production process right from the start. It benefits both humans, animals and the entire planet.
circular
The label circular means that this product is made from either recycled and recyclable, or renewable and biodegradable materials. Most products in today's society are linear, where the earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This does not work in the long run and causes enormous strain on the environment. Instead, we want to close the circle and reuse the materials we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini products are completely worn out, return them to us through our recycling units located in all our own stores and many retailers.
recycled
The label recycled means that this garment contains at least 50% recycled fibers (often more, see product description). The source is either recycled clothing or other sources such as PET bottles. We mainly use recycled polyester, which has many advantages. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester. One of our suppliers shows that mechanically recycled polyester saves 32% CO2 and uses 94% less water. In addition to the footprint of production, the big difference is that we use "waste" as raw material instead of crude oil.
Recyclable
The label Recyclable means that the fabric in this product is completely recyclable. Instead of becoming waste, the material can be used to manufacture new products. Our goal is to take no material from the earth's crust into our products by 2030. Circular products, made from recycled and recyclable materials, is a big change but we need your help to make the system work. Return your Houdini garments to us when they are completely worn out. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.
