Despite being a type of wool, alpaca fiber is lightweight and breathable, which allows air to circulate and keep you cool in hot weather. Alpaca wool even has moisture-wicking properties that help to absorb sweat and keep you dry (along with being naturally resistant to UV radiation), making it a great option for sunny outdoor activities. Alicia Adams Alpaca’s sustainably farmed, ready-to-wear garments and throws are soft like silk will keep you warm as the night gets colder, and are easy to pack when you’re on the go. The Classic Alpaca Throw is available in over 90 hues. FUN FACT: The White House gave one to Prince George which is since on display in a royal exhibit inside Buckingham Palace.
