A new jackets collection made form innovative polar fabric, ‘Pakacloud’ has been launched by Peru-based sustainable outdoor clothing label Paka.

The jackets have been made from natural alpaca fibers procured in Cuzco, Peru’s mountainous region. The collection helps reduce microplastic shedding significantly, thus offering a superior alternative to over 95 per cent of synthetic fleeces prevalent in today’s market.

Each piece of this collection features a scannable QR code that provides the details of the specific farms that fibers have been sourced from. The range offers advanced thermo-regulating properties, offering twice the warmth compared to traditional synthetic options. The hollow air pockets of the jackets weigh half as much as standard fleece jackets. Its quarter-zip design enables versatile layering options, ensuring optimal warmth in diverse environments.

The collection includes meticulous details such as flatlock stitching at the inseams, eliminating odors, chafing, and discomfort. The jackets also have two flat side pockets for storage and reduced bulk. Each of these jackets s adorned with a handwoven Inca ID on the back collar, honoring the Quechua women from Cuzco, Peru, who contribute to the B Corp.
