Materials

PAKAFILL® Insulation

Warmer than any synthetically-insulated jacket currently on the marketplace - tests at 2.59 thermal CLO value for 70gsm (tested by IDFL Laboratory and Institute). Half the volume of down. Keeps you warm when wet (unlike down, which can be life-threatening on the mountain). Thermoregulates from freezing temperatures to high aerobic activity to keep you in a neutral comfort range.

Eco Durable Water Repellent Coating (PFAS Free) on Shell

Highly water-repellent with multi-needle quilting. Shell fabric has a cotton feel without the stiff plastic touch that most DWR jackets have.

Bluesign® Certified Material

Guarantees the highest level of security for consumers to ensure healthy and safe textile materials

Traceable Alpaca™ from Peru

The fiber used in PAKAFILL® is fully traceable, all the way back to the small farm in the Andes where it was sourced from.

Stretch Fabric

4-way stretch allows for optimal movement, without restriction.

This jacket was designed to enhance the benefits of PAKAFILL® insulation to perform from freezing temperatures to high aerobic activities on the mountain. We achieved this comfort range with a ultra-breathable lining to perspire into the insulation, maximizing the breathability to achieve a shiver-proof and sweat-proof jacket.

This jacket performs best in the temperature range of:

Fahrenheit
Celcius

PAKAFILL®

Other Jackets

Sustainable Insulation

Insulated with fiber from free-roaming alpacas in Peru.

Insulated with fossil fuels extracted from the earth (synthetics) or feathers from dead birds (down).

Storm-proof

PAKAFILL® doesn’t wilt when you’re caught in the rain, snow, or wind, keeping you safe in even the most extreme climates.

Weaker when wet. Other insulations (such as down) lose their loft when the weather gets tough, putting you in a dangerous place on the mountain

Sweat and odor-proof

PAKAFILL® is naturally anti-bacterial and odor-resistant (with only 8% moisture retention rate), requiring less washing or care.

Sweaty and smelly. Synthetics trap sweat and bacteria together - a combination which results in odor.

Made with care

The fiber in PAKAFILL® is fully traceable, all the way back to the coordinates of the small farm in the Andes where it was shorn.

Lack of transparency with sourcing and where the fibers or manufacturing is from.

PAKAFILL® has ½ the volume of down due to its uniquely structured hollow air pockets, which increase the fiber’s thermal retention while allowing for increased ventilation - keeping the material light, warm, and dry.

Thermoregulating

Naturally adapts to the temperature, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat

Durable

Alpaca fiber has a tensile strength of 50 N/ktex

Lightweight

Alpaca fiber has hollow air pockets that give it an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio

Water resistant

Dries faster and insulates better than down when wet

The 'Apu' Series

In Peru, Apu is the spirit of the mountains and the protector of the local people. We designed this collection to honor the Apu spirit of the mountains in Peru. Check out the article we released for a behind-the-scenes look at our journey to disrupt the outdoor industry.

We didn’t just make it for us.

Until now, the outerwear industry has been limited to mainly two options for insulating jackets: goose down (obtained by killing geese) and synthetics (made with oil). Ethically sourced from free-roaming alpacas in the Andes, PAKAFILL® is now a third option.
