Why Choose Alpaca Fiber?

Discover the premium qualities that make alpaca the ultimate luxury fiber

Alpaca fiber has unique thermal properties that naturally adapt to your body temperature. The hollow fiber structure creates insulating air pockets that keep you warm when it's cold, while the breathable nature allows heat to escape when it's warm.

Unlike synthetic materials that trap moisture and heat, alpaca fiber wicks away perspiration while maintaining optimal comfort throughout the day.

Alpaca fiber is naturally lanolin-free, making it ideal for people with wool allergies or sensitive skin. The smooth fiber surface reduces irritation and itching that can occur with traditional wool.

The natural antimicrobial properties help resist odors and bacteria, keeping your garments fresh longer while being gentle on even the most delicate skin.

Alpacas have a minimal environmental footprint compared to other fiber-producing animals. They graze gently without damaging root systems, require less water, and produce more fiber per animal than sheep.

Our alpaca products represent a sustainable choice that supports traditional farming communities while providing you with a renewable, biodegradable luxury fiber that lasts for decades.

Alpaca fiber is renowned for its incredible softness and lustrous appearance. The fine diameter of the fibers creates a silky-smooth texture that rivals cashmere, while being significantly more durable.

Unlike other luxury fibers that may pill or lose their shape, alpaca garments maintain their beauty and softness for years, making them a worthwhile investment in your wardrobe.

Not what I ordered

I ordered or I thought I had ordered the fleece lined beanie and I received the unlined beanie. It’s ok but it’s scratchy.

We would be happy to exchange the Mountaineer Hat for our fleece lined styles. The Back Country beanie is lighter weight with 2' of interior polar fleece liner around the forehead and ears. The Winter Fleece beanie is completely lined on the inside and super warm. When you return the Mountaineer for an exchange, please include a note of the size and color you would like for the exchange. We want you to LOVE your product(s) from us and really enjoy wearing them. If the Mountaineer isn't for you, try something else you prefer in design.

Disappointed

I had high hopes for the alpaca beanie as several reviewers stated how they loved the beanie with no itch. Well- let me state That’s FALSE. The beanie is heavier than alpaca beanies from Peru and they ITCH! A lot. They are also loose fitting. On a positive the beanie is super warm and looks good. I thought they would be more snug. Paid good money for this product. Bummed. I really wanted it to be as advertised.
