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

Llama fleece provides a comfort range of 50 degrees.

27% Moisture Regain

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

Llama fleece has been shorn annually by native Andeans and used in various textiles for over 6000 years.
