Since traveling to South America for a backpacking trip in 2015, Cody discovered the virtues of the animal and the artisans in Peru who had been making products from the fiber for centuries.
Since then Paka has continued to work with indigenous Quechua people of Peru to create a variety of products including socks, baselayers, joggers and hoodies, all using alpaca hair.
Now Paka is launching its first puffer jacket filled with Pakafill made from alpaca. Cody field tested the coat by summiting Yanapaccha in the Andes, altitude 17,913 feet, and he remained warm and comfortable for the entire trek. Although this is the first puffer to be made from Pakafill, Cody hopes other brands seeking more ethical materials will use the insulating material in the future. He intends to use the material for other apparel pieces as well as sleeping bags under his own label.
The Paka jacket will retail for $330 and be available for sale on the Paka website beginning Nov. 10.
