Thermal insulation – The quality-conscious choice is Alpaca Royal from Ruukkin Kehräämö
Choosing the right thermal layer is important when it comes to staying warm and dry. It should be thermoregulatory and breathable, so you can feel comfortable no matter the weather.
Not all thermal layers are created equal. At Ruukki Kehräämö, we believe that Alpaca Royal thermal layer is the best choice for those looking for luxury, performance and durability in their base layers. We have a suitable thermal layer for men, women and children.
Why is thermal layering important?
Thermal underwear is an essential part of cold weather clothing. Thermal underwear helps regulate your body temperature and protects you from the elements when you want to stay warm during the cold months, whether you are an outdoor enthusiast or a winter sports enthusiast. Although synthetic/technical materials dominate the market, natural fibers are a better choice both in terms of properties and ethical considerations.
Why is Alpaca thermal underwear of such high quality?
Ruukkin Kehräämö's thermal layering is made from the highest quality Royal alpaca wool on the market. Alpaca Royal is known for its exceptional softness, warmth and breathability, making it a superior material for layering. Here are the reasons why Alpaca Royal outperforms other fibers, such as merino wool and synthetic materials:
- Superior softness
Alpaca Royal is incredibly soft, softer than baby alpaca and merino wool. Made from 18 micron diameter fibers, the underwear feels luxuriously comfortable against the skin. - Excellent insulation
Alpaca, especially Alpaca Royal, has natural insulating properties that are superior to other fibers. Its hollow fibers regulate heat more effectively than, for example, the solid fibers of merino. Alpaca Royal thermal layering is perfect for extreme and cold conditions. It keeps you warm and dry, and allows you to move around thanks to its thin layer and light weight. - Breathability and temperature regulation
One of the special features of Alpaca Royal wool is its superior breathability. Unlike knitwear made from synthetic fibers, which can trap moisture and heat, alpaca wool naturally regulates body temperature. It releases excess heat and moisture, keeping you comfortable and dry in cold conditions. - Water repellency
Alpaca wool has unique water-repellent properties, making it ideal for damp or wet conditions. Unlike, for example, merino wool, which absorbs moisture more easily, alpaca wool repels water, keeping you dry and comfortable in rain or snow. This is a significant advantage in cold climates where staying dry is essential to maintaining warmth. - Hypoallergenic and skin-friendly
Many people with sensitive skin find that traditional wool irritates the skin due to lanolin, a natural fat contained in wool, or its roughness. Alpaca Royal wool is naturally lanolin-free, making it hypoallergenic and antibacterial. Ruukki Kehräämö underwear is ideal for sensitive skin or those suffering from allergies. - Durability and strength
Alpaca Royal wool is not only luxurious but also extremely durable. Its fibers are stronger and more durable than many other natural fibers. Ruukkin Kehräämö's Alpaca Royal thermal layer retains both its properties and shape when used.
