Learn the best way to wash and care for your Houdini Power Up Jacket. Follow these simple steps to keep the full zip fleece clean and performing well.
Quick answer
Wash your Houdini Power Up Jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent, then air dry flat to preserve the fabric and fit.
Why proper care matters for your full zip fleece
The Power Up Jacket is built on the same proven design as the classic Power Houdi, with a relaxed fit and no hood for easy layering. To keep the fleece soft and the full zip working smoothly, you need to avoid harsh washing habits that can break down the fibers or damage the zipper.
Step-by-step washing and care instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the jacket: Close the full zip and turn the jacket inside out. This protects the zipper teeth and the outer face of the fleece during washing. Check all pockets for loose items before turning inside out.
- Step 2: Choose your wash cycle: Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water (max 30°C / 86°F). Hot water can shrink or felt the fleece. Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent, not powder, which can leave residue. Avoid fabric softener – it coats the fibers and reduces breathability.
- Step 3: Dry the jacket properly: Lay the jacket flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Do not wring it out – gently press out excess water with your hands. Do not tumble dry or hang it in direct sunlight, as heat can distort the shape. Hanging a wet fleece by the shoulders can stretch the fabric; always dry flat.
About your Power Up Jacket
- M's Power Up Jacket: The Power Up Jacket is based on the Houdini Power Houdi, which launched in 2003 and has not changed significantly since. It removes the hood and uses a roomier fit for layering. The relaxed cut means the fabric has more surface area to collect dirt, but the proven construction makes it easy to wash without special handling.
