How to Measure

Use a soft, flexible measuring tape. Measure directly on your skin or over light clothing. If you don't have a flexible measuring tape, you can use a piece of string by wrapping it around the area you're measuring, marking the spot where it meets, and then lay it flat on a ruler to measure. Alternatively, you can measure a well-fitting piece of clothing with a regular tape measure and compare the measurements to your body.

1 Arm Length
With elbow bent, measure from the center (back) of neck to elbow and down to wrist.

2 Chest
Relax your arms, then measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust.

3 Waist
Bend slightly to one side to find your natural waist. (This will be the crease created from bending). Then, stand erect and measure around your body at the crease points.

4 Hips
Stand relaxed with feet shoulder-width apart. Now, measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.

Gear that keeps up with you
Extremely light

This crew weighs 0.89lb / 14.24 oz. That's lighter than your coffee mug.

Odor-resistant

So you can hit the slopes, grab some dinner, wear it to bed, and repeat.

Softer than cashmere

Our blend uses Royal Alpaca (18-19 microns), meaning you can wear it without an undershirt.

Thermoregulating

The alpaca evolved in one of the most dynamic climates in the world, creating a naturally thermal comfort range of more than 50°F.
