PAKA Apu Parka - Alpaca Wool Pakafill Insulated Jacket - all-natural down alternative

[@BackcountryRenegade]

what do you think of Alpaca as a insulation for a jacket? Will this be the new go to insulation?

[@seesantos]

I don’t have their jacket but have a couple sweaters and socks. They are fantastic!

They probably didn't plan on it, but this is basically the perfect PNW/BC winter fishing jacket. Warm when damp and able to shed heat without fussing with waders or packs.

[@BackcountryRenegade]

Great point. I think it would be great for it.

I have the same hoodie that you are wearing and have been using it for 3 years now. Great hoodie, but the Hoodie is a bit heavy. It weighs 1 about 1 pound.

I have the hoodie you have on and a pair of the paka socks and love them both. I can’t wait to get the jacket and try it out.

[@BackcountryRenegade]

Awesome! I do really like the hoodie. So soft. Socks are pretty great too. Will have a review on them coming soon.

Very interesting thumbnail holes. Don’t think I’ve seen that before on a jacket.

[@BackcountryRenegade]

Yeah it’s pretty unique but comfy and warm

27 oz keep you warm in minus 15 Fahrenheit with just a base laser ????

[@BackcountryRenegade]

havent tried it that low, ive gotten it to 15 and been plenty warm with just a base layer. There is something special with the alpaca insulation to be way warmer then down given the same weight of insulation.
