Wear more, wash less
Alpaca wool naturally resists odor. Air your layer between wears, then wash it when it needs cleaning. Less time doing laundry. More time outside.
Layer up without pulling another top overhead. This women's 420 g/m² Alpaca jacket has a full front zip for easy changes between cool starts, moving days, and quiet evenings.
Free US shipping on orders over $200.
Return unused, unwashed items within 15 days of delivery. Return fees may apply.
Your layer starts with Alpaca wool from Peru. Its smooth fiber surface gives the knit a soft feel, while the knit structure allows air to move through as you do.
Open the front as your effort rises and close it for the next cool stretch.
The knit holds air close to your body for insulation, while its open structure allows air to move through as your effort changes.

Designed and made in one country
Arms of Andes is a family company with roots in the Peruvian Andes. “Arms” brings together the initials of four siblings. That connection to Peru shapes what we make and where we make it.
From fiber sourcing and yarn spinning to knitting and sewing, production stays in Peru. One country, with the people and knowledge behind your gear close together.
I was unsure of what to expect from this jacket, but I have been happily surprised. This jacket is extremely warm and does well with colder temperatures (as least SoCal, near the beach cold temps). I am a festival bartender, so I am outdoors until the late night, when it is very cold and sometimes windy and had been looking for something to wear that was lightweight, functional, and warm. I am happy to say, this jacket has exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for something to keep yourself warm in these colder temperatures while not breaking the bank, I totally recommend this jacket.
Have worn it several times during hikes; I like high quality, well made sweater/jacket . Re: fit, S fits my 33” chest, 26” waist well, form fitting but not tight. I sized up because I didn’t want tight. I’m 5’3” with wider swimmer shoulders and average torso length; jacket shoulders are a tad wide, sleeve length a tad long, but the length is perfect at mid hip. I got Navy which is beautiful. Bonus that the zipper I got is black which I prefer to the lighter contrasting color zipper—darker blends in better and looks more sleek. Love the full zip which gives ventilation flexibility. Note: Sleeves are very form-fitting (I have slender athletic arms) and work best with bare arms/a tank top; a thin silky longsleeve shirt works too. Another bene is no stink despite multiple wears!
Looking forward to getting a lot of warm wear from this!
Hi Lesli,
Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that you’re happy with the fit and quality of the sweater/jacket. It sounds like it’s working perfectly for your preferences and style, and we’re thrilled you’re enjoying the navy color and black zipper combo. It’s great to know you appreciate the flexibility of the full zip, and we hope it becomes a staple in your wardrobe for many cozy, comfortable wears. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
Quality jacket that looks nice too. Using it as a mid layer on my PCT hike currently. Keeps me warm, wicks away moisture, and is one of my only items that doesn’t stink already 😅
Warm, comfy, stylish and chemical free! So worth it
I love love love Arms of Andes. Both my partner and I have multiple hoodies and sweaters and they are super soft and warm and durable. Make more, please!
