Alpaca knitwear - a natural riding shirt without comparison
When acquiring riding apparel, technical materials might be the first thing that comes to mind. However, there is a more natural and sustainable option from which an optimally suitable riding sweater can be made. Royal quality alpaca wool is an unparalleled, wonderful, and versatile natural fiber that offers several advantages compared to technical fibers and other natural fibers.
Temperature-regulating, dirt and water repellent
Alpaca wool is known for its unique thermoregulating ability. It keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. In addition, high-quality Royal Alpaca fiber (< 18 µm) is excellent at repelling water, and a small downpour won't soak the garment through. This makes Royal quality alpaca fiber an ideal material choice for riding apparel, where you are exposed to body temperature fluctuations and various weather conditions. Whether you're riding in the cool morning or in the middle of a sunny day, you can trust that alpaca wool clothing will keep you comfortable throughout the ride.
Breathable
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 doesn't retain odors, is hypoallergenic, and antibacterial.
Lightweight and durable
High-quality Royal grade alpaca wool is an extremely warm material; it is light and soft and does not irritate even sensitive skin. Ruukin Kehräämö's Royal alpaca shirt is durable, long-lasting, and maintains its good appearance for an exceptionally long time.
Respectful of nature
Alpacas are animals bred for wool production, living in the Peruvian mountains. An alpaca is a camelid and thrives on very little water. A garment made from alpaca wool needs washing only rarely. When grazing, alpacas do not deplete the soil but promote biodiversity. Ruukin Kehräämö's Alpaca Royal collection knitwear is suitable for versatile use, including lounging, outdoor activities, business wear, and riding.
Stylish appearance
Functionality first and foremost, but riding apparel must also be stylish, of course. Royal Alpaca fiber is not only a functional material but also looks great. It offers a natural luster and softness, which makes the garments not only beautiful but also exceptionally comfortable to wear.
