Alpaca knitwear - a natural riding shirt without comparison
When shopping for riding clothing, technical materials may be the first thing that comes to mind. However, there is a more natural and sustainable alternative that can be used to make the perfect riding sweater. Royal quality alpaca wool is an incomparably beautiful and versatile natural fiber that offers several advantages over technical fibers and other natural fibers.
Heat-regulating, dirt and water repellent
Alpaca wool is known for its unique thermoregulation properties. It keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. In addition, the high-quality Royal Alpaca fiber (< 18 µm) is extremely water-repellent and even a light drizzle will not soak the garment. This makes Royal quality alpaca fiber an ideal material choice for riding clothing where you are exposed to fluctuations in body temperature and different weather conditions. Whether you are riding in the cool of the morning or in the middle of a sunny day, you can trust that alpaca wool clothing will keep you comfortable throughout your ride.
Breathable
Horse riding is a physical activity where the body produces heat and moisture. Alpaca wool is naturally breathable. It allows air to circulate and moisture to evaporate. This keeps your skin dry, even if you sweat while riding. Alpaca wool also does not absorb odors, is hypoallergenic and antibacterial.
Lightweight and durable
High-quality Royal-grade alpaca wool is a very warm material, it is light and soft and does not itch even on sensitive skin. The Royal alpaca shirt from Ruukki Spinning Mill is durable, long-lasting and retains its good appearance for an exceptionally long time.
Organic riding clothing
Alpacas are animals bred for wool production that live in the mountains of Peru. The alpaca is a camelid and can do very well with little water. A garment made from alpaca wool only needs washing rarely. Alpaca does not use up the soil when grazing, but promotes biodiversity. The knitwear from Ruukki Kehräämö's Alpaca Royal collection is suitable for a variety of uses, including leisure, outdoor activities, business wear, and even horse riding.
Stylish appearance
Functionality comes first, but riding clothing also needs to be stylish. Royal Alpaca fiber is not only a functional material, it also looks great. It offers a natural shine and softness, making the clothing not only beautiful, but also exceptionally comfortable to wear.
