Most insulation materials for outdoor gear come with trade-offs—down loses warmth when wet and is often sourced unethically, while synthetic insulation traps sweat, releases microplastics, and contributes to pollution. With two-thirds of all clothing being synthetic, microfibres are now everywhere—from the ocean to our bodies. I’m always on the look-out for ethical and sustainable gear for my outdoor adventures, so I was thrilled when I found @paka’s PAKAFILL®! Made from ethically sourced alpaca fiber, it’s ultra-light, moisture-resistant, and incredibly warm (CLO 2.59) without bulk. Unlike synthetic alternatives, it’s biodegradable and free from fossil fuels. Choosing PAKAFILL® means supporting ethical practices, Peruvian farmers, and a healthier planet, while staying comfortable, cozy, and warm in the wild! #PAKAFILL #sustainability #nature #getoutside #sustainable #alpaca (A D)
