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 elbows slightly bent, measure from the center back of neck (at the base), across the top of the shoulders, down the arm, to the wrist. Keep your arm relaxed and slightly bent while measuring.

2 Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground and comfortably under your arms. Make sure the tape is snug, but not tight. Relax your arms by your sides while measuring.

3 Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button (This will be the crease created from bending). Stand naturally and keep the tape a bit loose. Don’t suck in your stomach.

4 Hips
Measure around the fullest part of hip/seat circumference below your natural waistline. Stand with your feet together and make sure the tape is parallel to the floor and comfortably snug.

5 Inseam (pants)
Measure along the inside leg from crotch to ankle. Stand straight with your feet slightly apart.

Materials

PAKAFILL® Insulation

Warmer than any synthetically insulated jacket currently on the marketplace with a 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 at rest 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 of most DWR jackets.

bluesign® Certified Material

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

Traceable Alpaca™ from Peru

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

Stretch Fabric

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

Our Apu Lightweight Puffer was designed to enhance the benefits of PAKAFILL® insulation, performing from freezing temperatures at rest to high-aerobic activities on the mountain. We achieved this comfort range with an ultra-breathable lining to perspire into the insulation and control moisture. The result is a shiver- and sweat-proof puffer jacket for outdoor adventures and travel.

This jacket performs best in the temperature range of:

Horizontal Fahrenheit temperature scale showing optimal performance range around 20 F to 60 F
horizontal temperature scale showing recommended wearing range for the jacket from −7°C to 18°C

PAKAFILL®

Other Jackets

Sustainable Insulation

Insulated with the 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.

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.
