Materials

PAKAFILL® Insulation

Warmer than any synthetically-insulated jacket currently on the marketplace with a 2.1 thermal CLO value (tested by IDFL Laboratory and Institute). 130 GSM in the body and 110 GSM in the arms and hood. 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.

Certified Waterproof Stretch Shell

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

The Apu Long Parka was designed to enhance the benefits of PAKAFILL®  insulation, performing from freezing temperatures at rest to aerobic activities. We used 130 GSM in the body and 110 GSM in the sleeves to maximize mobility. To increase the comfort range, we added a breathable lining and removable hood lined with a high-pile alpaca blend fleece. The result is a shiver- and sweat-proof winter jacket.

This jacket performs best in the temperature range of:

Colorful Temperature Range Graph of -28°C to 10°C

Other Jackets

Sustainable insulation

Insulated with natural 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 air pockets, which increase the natural 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 that spirit. Check out our article 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.
