    I only have their socks, specifically, 5 pairs of calf length and 5 pairs of "no shows" for the summer. They are the BEST socks I have ever worn. Ever. I don't even wear my SmartWool socks anymore. I don't need this many pairs because you can wear a pair for a week without them smelling or seeming icky (unless you walk barefoot into chocolate fudge or something). Last year I gave them to every member of my extended family for Christmas and said, "I'm just going to say you are welcome now because you are going to thank me later." I have absolutely no relationships to the company whatsoever. Get some Paka socks.!

    Good afternoon Brad! Can honestly say we have never hear off Paka, so thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with us! We to use baselayers, so always interesting to hear and see new ideas! 💡 🦙❤️
    Polar bear under armour is a few years off being marketable 🐻‍❄
    Totally agree about the importance of odour resistance too, getting hot, sweaty and smelly on a treck is the pits! 😷
    Interested so see how these items fair over time, should be good and durable but is it as tough as the Crow! The hoodie sounds great, wow!
    Passion and connection to the surroundings and animals that go into making the things we use and wear is so important and should be championed more 🏆
    Really through video, thoughts and feedback, thanks Brad, have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat 🧭❤️🗺☕️🧭👍

    I received merino wool base layers of a good brand today and it's a bit itchy although it's 18,5 micron. I'm disappointed to be honest. Does Alpaca feel softer than merino, have you noticed that?

    • @ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING
      @ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING  Рік тому

      In my opinion, yes! I wondered why at first does Paca use a blend, instead of 100% Alpaca…now I know…this stuff is very soft and they say you don’t need an under shirt with the Paca hoodie…I agree…it doesn’t. Paca is great to me…I can only give my humble opinion, but, I love the base layer and the hoodie. I did a review of hoodie too in my winter gear. They have a great product. Crow✌️

    I first got onto these guys by buying a Hoodie through their Kickstarter back in 2017 (yeah, I looked). Their heavier sock is better in my opinion than what they sent you. Also, their T-shirts (which I think are around $39) are awesome in the Summertime. I do think most all of their stuff is blended. I highly recommend their hoody.
    If you don't want blended - Appalachian Gear Company (I think) are 100% Alpaca and are local for me. First stumbled into them @ Trail Days in 2019. But they are also a tad more pricey. I recommend and support them both.

    I looked at this company when I was looking at the OTHER Alpaca Gear company. The Tencel fiber is a turn off for me. That is why I do not like smart wool also. Get too close to a fire and that very expensive shirt is toast. 100% wool and 100% alpaca are fire resistive. Paka is not because of the Tencel fiber.

      @@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING I was wrong. Tencel is a cellulose-based fabric, and can burn like paper.
      So I would still be very cautious around fire.
