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.
Open up on the climb. Cover up at the stop. This women's 300 g/m² Alpaca hoodie combines a half zip with a hood, giving you two ways to adjust your coverage.

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 half zip as you warm up. Close it and pull up the hood when the pace slows.
The knit holds air close to your body for insulation, while its open structure allows air to move through as your effort changes.

Great top. Recently hiked Mt. Rainier in mixed conditions- it went under the rain shell, by itself and took on a LOT of sweat from me. Embarrassingly, I balled it up and accidentally left it in my pack for a couple days. Pulled it out expecting the worst and no smell! Plus, I'm a sucker for the thumbholes.
I will be using this sweater for all my outdoor work and hiking. I got my usual size and it fits great. I can use it alone or as a base layer since itās fitted enough for that. But not tight. Itās so soft and I havenāt had to wash it yet. It still doesnāt smell after 7 ish uses. I just turn it inside out and hang it in an open area to let it air out between uses.
Hi Nicolette! Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear the sweater is working well for your outdoor activities. It's great to know it's staying fresh after multiple uses too! If you have any questions or need anything else, don't hesitate to reach out. Enjoy your adventures!
I did so much research on different products before ordering this base layer. Itās one of the few brands that isnāt 50% polyester, itās great pure material! Itās super warm and scent repelling. I usually struggle with BO lingering in my shirts after a day in the mountains but this one always smells great. Super flattering fit. Highly recommend as your base layer! I would size up one size.

I love the half-zip hoodie I got! I am looking forward to the warmth it will provide me with this winter! I wish I would've gotten a bigger size, as I believe they run small.
