At Paka, we believe that the outdoors are a playground, and your gear should empower you to explore it. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Mountain Crew, our most durable alpaca sweater yet.
We created the Mountain Crew for our outdoor community who kept asking for a more resilient, trail-proof sweater. With a proprietary knit structure that enhances stretch and durability, this sweater is built to handle whatever nature throws at you. Whether you’re trekking through dense forests or scaling rocky peaks, the Mountain Crew won’t snag or lose its shape — allowing you to turn the wild into your playground with ease.
Features That Set The Mountain Crew Apart:
- Unmatched Durability: Combining baby alpaca, merino wool, and recycled nylon, this sweater is knit with a unique stitch technique to resist snags, pulls, and wear while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable feel.
- Thermoregulating & Packable: Alpaca fiber’s natural thermoregulation keeps you comfortable in varying climates, while its design ensures it retains its shape after being packed, so it’s always ready for the next challenge.
- Textured Design: A two-color melange and double-faced, bouncy texture not only add depth but offer a tactile experience that is soft yet rugged.
- Responsive Fit: Our stretch-enhanced yarn ensures the Mountain Crew retains its shape and moves with you, offering unmatched comfort whether you’re on the move or unwinding after a day outdoors.
Why It’s Different:
Unlike traditional performance sweaters that rely on 100% synthetic fibers, the Mountain Crew utilizes the incredible properties of alpaca fiber, which is naturally thermoregulating, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant. With its blend of natural and recycled materials, our Mountain Crew proves that natural fibers can perform better and be just as durable.
Built for Adventure – Designed for You:
With gender-specific fits, the Mountain Crew ensures a tailored experience for everyone. The women’s version features a slimmer, flattering cut with ribbed textures that highlight feminine lines, while the men’s version offers a relaxed fit, with a block layout and raglan sleeves for enhanced mobility. Both styles are designed with adventurers in mind.
- Rib-knit texture for stretch recovery: Ensures flexibility and bounce-back after wear, maintaining its form during movement.
- Raglan sleeves for mobility: Designed to enhance movement, making it ideal for active adventures and layering.
- No shoulder seams to prevent irritation with the backpack: A thoughtful detail to ensure comfort during hikes or long treks with a pack.
- Handwoven Inca ID: A unique, artisanal touch that showcases the craftsmanship of the women who made it.
- Signed by the woman who made it: Adds a personal connection to the maker, highlighting ethical production.
- Made with Traceable Alpaca: Sourced with care and transparency, ensuring high-quality, eco-friendly fibers.
Make Nature Your Playground
The Mountain Crew empowers you to embrace the elements with confidence, knowing your gear can handle whatever comes your way. Whether you’re summiting a mountain or exploring forest paths, this sweater is your ultimate companion, combining the finest natural fibers with modern performance features.
At Paka, we strive to push the boundaries of what natural apparel can achieve. With the Mountain Crew, we’ve redefined durability and performance, creating a sweater that doesn’t just keep you warm — it makes nature your playground.
