Supremely soft, lightweight and durable, this refined 1/4-zip is pure luxury in a sweater. Spun from the finest grade of Peruvian alpaca. Alpaca is odor-resistant. Its fiber's keratin protein has natural antibacterial properties. It’s also 3x lighter than sheep's wool
alpaca fiber is temperature regulating because bits fiber is medullated with hollow air pockets that hold heat in. alpaca is also moisture-wicking. It has one of the highest wicking properties of all natural fibers (its water retention rate is around 8%, compared to 16-20% of most other wool) Lastly alpaca is hypoallergenic, meaning it doesn't have that itchy grease (lanolin) that other wools have. we use royal alpaca - the top 1% selection of fiber (18-19 microns).
