The altiplano—“high plain”— (elevation 12,000 - 15,000 feet above sea level) is skirted by the soaring peaks of the Andes Mountains of South America. Llamas thrive here thanks to a gift of nature: their coats of soft, hollow-fiber fleece that keep them comfortable in the daily fluctuations of freezing nights and warm days. Those same properties define the garments of Altiplano Insulation, Inc.
Creates A Personal Atmosphere
As we break through the felted crust of the exterior of the fleece and examine the undercoat of the fine downy fiber, the fibers become much more orderly and consistent compared to the more tangled outer surface of the fleece. It’s within this downy portion of the fleece, between the felted surface and the llama’s skin, that the llama’s personal atmosphere exists and functions.
How it works
Hollow Fiber
The fiber’s ability to maintain an optimum level of water vapor gives it an unmatched comfort range. The hollow, light weight fiber gives another aspect of comfort
50º Temperature Range

27% Moisture Regain
The higher a fiber’s moisture regain, the higher its ability to wick moisture and to insulate against cold.
