I love these socks!

Another nice pair of socks from Paka. These are my first in the "thermal" weight, I like the design and colors very much and appreciate the story that went into them. I find the socks fit well and are very warm, nice for lounging around the house when it's chilly. The only downside is they seem to slide down the lower leg and not grip as well as other Paka socks I have, and tend to pool a bit at my ankles. For that reason I don't think I'll use hiking or at work, but certainly not a problem around the house.

The softest undies ever!

I got myself a paka sweater and a pair of paka socks before the holidays and I've worn them on repeat bc they're soooo nice and comfy!!

I first fell in love with this sweater while watching Christmas on the Alpaca Farm on Netflix. I casually admired it out loud—clearly forgetting that my Santa Husband hears everything. With a little research, he discovered Paka Apparel and surprised me with the real thing, arriving just before Christmas and—miraculously—just ahead of a very rare Florida cold spell.

Unfortunately, while alpacas roam the Andes Mountains for millions of years without wheelchairs, I managed to fracture the tibial plateau in my left leg when it gave out on a hike. I’m now wheelchair-bound for the next 15 weeks, which means I am significantly less agile than the average alpaca. 🦙

That said, this sweater has become my MVP. It’s warm without being bulky, unbelievably soft, and has completely replaced my injury story as the primary topic of conversation. People don’t ask “What happened?” anymore—they ask “Where did you get that?”

What really makes this special (besides saving me from explaining my clumsiness) is Paka Apparel’s sustainability mission. Founded in Peru, they work with Andean families who care for small alpaca herds in the highlands—many only reachable by horse. Even better, with Traceable Alpaca™, you can literally trace your sweater to the exact GPS coordinates where the fiber originated. Yes—my sweater is better traveled than I am right now.

So while I may be grounded, this sweater comes with global positioning, a lighter environmental footprint, and a much stronger sense of balance than its current owner. If alpacas can thrive in the Andes and Paka can turn that fiber into something this comfortable, I’d say that’s a win worth wearing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend—whether you’re scaling mountains or navigating life from a wheelchair.

wonderful product, very comfortable

These are the softest, most comfortable shirts I’ve ever worn. I purchased a second one after wearing my first one a few times. Eventually I’d like to have one in every color. They wash and wear well and they held up to some sweaty hiking, drying quickly with no way to tell later how icky I had gotten!

Hoody was a Christmas gift to my son. It was first worn that night and several more days while he was home over the holidays. I’d say it was a big hit!

Loved this upon arrival. But each time (3 x now) I have washed it in cold water and layed flat like suggested, it has shrunk to the size of a small child.

Everyone (well, the adults) received Paka socks from me. So far, everyone has made the comment, lifting their pantleg, “I LOVE these socks!”

The sweater feels warm but it’s oversized and long. It’s looks like the sweater swallowed me. I’ve worn XL sweaters for over 30 years. This thing is way to big to wear.
