Alpacademy: The Alpaca’s Climate

We're back for our final Alpacademy episode! Today, we're here to talk about how us alpacas have adapted to thrive in the most extreme weather fluctuations on Planet Earth. It's what's made our fiber in your garments able to handle any temperature range.

In high-altitude climates, temperatures drop below freezing at night and soar to the 80s by noon. Alpaca fiber has microscopic air pockets that can trap this warmth in the cold and release the heat in the sun — nature's built-in thermoregulation! Alpaca fiber is so efficient, it's lighter than merino and wicks moisture at double the rate of wool! Fun fact: alpacas can stay cool even under the scorching sun because their fiber reflects solar radiation.
