Over 30 years ago, we started making our Alpaca wool socks in order to keep toes from getting cold while skiing/hiking bringing an extra protection and warmth to the foot.
And since then, we have innovated with high-end textile technology developing exquisite natural and sustainable fiber blends that keeps you comfortable and dry in the outdoor.
We've been incorporating innovations and sock technologies into everything we make, from our Technikalpaca® Technical Socks to our casual products to help support your every step on the trail, day in the city, epic sunrise summit, and perfect powder trail.
We strongly believe that when your feet are in good order, you can have more and better experiences.

NATURALLY ADAPTABLE
Alpaca
In the Andes, above 4,000 meters (13,000 Ft) altitud, there are 40ºC (104ºF) temperature differences in the course of the same day.
To survive, the South American Alpaca has evolved an adaptable partially hollow fleece able to be cool in the scorching mornings and warm during the freezing nights.
This insulating fiber also has wicking properties, transferring moisture outwards where it's spread over the surface of the fibers, accelerating evaporation for fast dryness when humidity is present.
Alpaca fleece is exceptionally soft and cushioning, reducing friction on the skin, preventing blisters when enjoying long walks.
Due to extreme solar radiation in the Andes, the fiber also acquired UV resistance, protecting your skin from sun damage.
Unlike man-made fibers, alpaca production is kind to the environment and to the animals, being a sustainable and renewal process, making it the best outdoor protection developed by nature for extreme conditions.

ODOR REPELLENT & ANTIBACTERIAL
The wool fat of our selected natural fibers (lanolin) is very low compared to other fibers. And the low moisture absorption prevents unpleasant odors, even in an intensive sweating and frequent wearing.
The protein molecules in the fiber also neutralize bacterias and prevent any spreading.
