Natural fibers rule for warmth and thermoregulation, even when damp, and these PAKA baselayer pieces feature royal alpaca fiber that gives them the legit “softer-than-cashmere feel” that the company claims. The hoodie (MSRP: $135) provides all the warmth you could want on a cold ski day, including on your neck and head.
The mid-weight bottoms (MSRP: $125-$135) pair un-matched comfort and moisture-wicking without the itchiness of some wool baselayers due to PAKA’s use of the finest alpaca fibers. Rest assured you won’t smell like a llama after a day getting after it on the slopes, thanks to alpaca fibers being lanolin free and anti-microbial. Plus, PAKA’s apparel are more sustainable with alpaca fiber ethically sourced from the South American Andes. Pakaapparel.com
