The Alpaca Hoodie 210 Series: Comfort, Warmth, and innovation in One Package

When Dale & Company set out to design a high-performance hoodie, we turned to nature, drawing inspiration from the alpacas of the Peruvian Andes. These incredible animals survive in one of the most extreme environments on Earth, where temperatures can swing over 30°C (86°F) in a single day. Their wool has evolved to provide insulation in freezing conditions, breathability in the heat, and natural water resistance to stay dry in wet weather. The result: our Alpaca Hoodie 210 Series—designed to keep you from getting soaked during demanding climbs while staying dry and comfortable all day, no matter where your adventure takes you.

Made with Soft, Ethically Sourced Alpaca Wool

The Alpaca Hoodie 210 Series is crafted from a unique blend of 48% Peruvian baby alpaca wool, 48% fine Australian merino wool, and 4% spandex. This mix gives the alpaca hoodie its signature softness and gentle stretch, making it incredibly comfortable for all-day wear. The fabric is even softer than cashmere because we used 18 micron fibres, providing a luxurious feel that’s perfect for wearing next to skin. Alpaca wool is naturally lightweight, breathable, and warm, offering a level of coziness that’s unlike traditional materials like cotton or synthetic blends.

Why Alpaca Makes The Difference

The alpaca hoodies quality starts with our sourcing - we use premium alpaca fiber from Peru, known for producing the finest alpaca wool worldwide. Our blend combines the best qualities of both alpaca fiber and merino wool. The alpaca wool provides a superior warmth to weight ratio and water resistance, while the merino wool adds durability and shape retention. The blend lets us offer a hoodie that features:

• Superior warmth to weight ratio
• More durable than regular wool
  
• Unmatched moisture-wicking
• Naturally odor-resistant
• Incredibly soft against your skin

Built to Last

The "210 Series" name references the garment's thickness—210 GSM (grams per square meter)—a perfect mid-weight design that strikes the ideal balance between versatility and durability. This thickness allows you to wear it confidently on its own, unlike thin base layers that can leave you feeling underdressed. By opting for a mid-weight fabric, we’ve maximized alpaca wool’s natural properties. On cold days, you’ll enjoy the warmth of a heavyweight base layer, thanks to alpaca’s superior warmth-to-weight ratio, without the unnecessary bulk of thicker garments. On milder days, and during extended physical exertion you wont overheat and stay dry. This thoughtful design ensures durability and performance for all your outdoor adventures.

Designed for Performance in All Temperatures

Alpaca wool's temperature-regulating properties help keep you warm in cold weather and cool when you're active. Alpaca wools semi hollow fibers naturally wick away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable even during high-energy activities. Whether you’re exploring the outdoors or lounging at home, this hoodie works to provide all day comfort.

Easy Care for Lasting Use

Machine wash in cold water on a delicate cycle with similar colors. Skip the fabric softener – it can damage the delicate fibers. To avoid any shrinkage, and for best results, we recommend air drying and avoid dry cleaning.

Find Your Perfect Fit

The alpaca hoodie fits true to size. See size guide for measurements. A unique feature of wool it its ability to shrink and stretch. For example, Don, who is 6'2" 200lb, wears a size L, and Sarah, who is 5'5", is wearing a size small.
