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.
