With a composition of 80% alpaca fiber, this hoodie boasts unparalleled strength, softness, and warmth, eclipsing traditional materials like merino wool. The addition of 20% recycled nylon not only enhances these attributes but introduces an elasticity, durability, and softness that cater to the demands of an active lifestyle. The pure genius of alpaca fiber manifests in its natural breathability and superior moisture absorption, making the AlpaLite Hoodie perfect for a variety of climates and high-intensity activities.

Proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, this eco-friendly garment stands as a beacon of sustainable craftsmanship, offering an exceptional alternative to synthetic outdoor layers. Featuring a lighter weight 170 GSM AlpaLight lining in the hood for increased wind resistance and structure, the AlpaLite Hoodie excels in versatility, providing exceptional warmth and durability without compromising style or comfort. Whether you're scaling a rugged trail or enjoying a casual evening outdoors, the AlpaLite Hoodie ensures you stay comfortable, fresh, and ready for any adventure thrown your way.
