Product FAQs

Do alpaca hats stretch over time?

Alpaca fiber has natural elasticity, so hats will gently conform to your head shape while maintaining their structure. This particular hat is made from superfine alpaca, which provides a great balance between durability and softness.

Are alpaca hats hypoallergenic?

Yes, alpaca fiber is naturally hypoallergenic because it contains no lanolin, which is a common irritant found in sheep’s wool.

Do alpaca hats regulate temperature?

Yes, alpaca fiber is thermoregulating, helping keep you warm in cold weather while remaining breathable in milder conditions. This is a primary area where alpaca will outperform all other natural materials.

Do alpaca hats wick moisture?

Yes, alpaca fiber naturally wicks moisture away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable. This will also work to reduce sweaty and stinky heads.

Can alpaca hats get wet?

Alpaca is naturally water-repellent (it can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture before feeling wet). How does that translate to wearing your alapca hat in wet conditions? If you’re caught in a heavy snowstorm or rain, an alpaca hat will hold its shape better and it will not absorb the water like a synthetic hat.

Can alpaca hats be worn in extreme cold?

Yes, heavyweight alpaca hats are ideal for cold climates and provide excellent insulation in winter conditions. Heavyweight alpaca hats provide maximum warmth for colder climates.

How long do alpaca hats last?

With proper care, alpaca hats are durable and long-lasting, making them a great investment piece that will last years to decades. That said, keep in mind this is a knit item and should be treated as such.
