Women's Alpaca Base Layer Quarter Zip

I was expecting a very thin fragile base layer like I've owned in the past but knew it would give me way more warmth than they used to because of the alpaca fleece in it. This base layer is not fragile at all! The quality of the fabric and zipper are top notch and the high quality workmanship is impressive! It is a true fit and the cut is perfect - long enough in the back to keep you warm, a close fit without being snug and oh man is it soft! I can't wait for winter hiking to begin! I love my second layer and can't wait to up my game in Montana's deep winter when I combine these two sweaters. I am super happy with my investment and highly recommend this base layer!

First slide into the shirt was heaven. So soft yet warm. My new fav!

I have several base layers from other wool companies, but none made from Alpaca wool. I’m getting ready to go winter camping and wanted to try one. So far I use it more like a sweater, than under anything. It is so very soft and it is quite warm. I do wish the zipper had a little cloth covering at the top. Right now it pokes me under my chin. I may stitch one on. I am thinking of getting the base layer that is 100% wool. Very nice product! I try to not order from Amazon, so I’m glad to support a small American company, and especially one from Montana, my favorite state!

This base layer is exceptionally comfortable and warm. It feels amazing against the skin. It fits looser than some others, but could hardly be more comfortable. Looks great too and I wear it to work as well as a base layer for outdoor activities including cross country skiing and running in the winter. It keeps me warm on even the coldest of Montana winter days and has become an essential component of my layering system. It has a unique look and feel as compared to the big name brands. Highly recommended.

Good article of clothing. Luv it.
The claims are true: very warm and breathable. The anti-microbial properties quite evident despite containing cotton on the interior (skin side) of the garment. Exterior blends up 70% alpaca / 30% silk.
The gauge on this is more than most base layers. While not heavy, it can pass for mid-layer. Neither compression fit nor loose, it slots right in between.
It’s still early days since the purchase but my sense feels that this has durability woven into it. Lots of merino wool in my closets over the years lasted maybe a couple seasons before shredding into tatters. By contrast, this appears ready for the rugged long haul. If so, the price is worth it.
Sarah and James, the brains behind Alpacas of Montana, are personable and professional. I’ll be back for more.
