Those who want to hit the slopes in Peru will need to cope with significant altitude and long treks or helicopter rides to mountaintop glaciers. If you'd prefer to leave such adventures to extreme ski mountaineers, you can still channel an après ski mood with this men's sweater, featuring stylized Inca motifs and snowflakes--la nieve in Spanish. The pullover sweater is hand knit from pure Peruvian alpaca.
Fantastic feel and the woven design is perfect!

I purchased this for my husband. The quality and the softness is unbelievable. My husband likes it because it is a light weight sweater but quite warm because of the alpaca yarn. You cannot go wrong with this sweater and it also has a little give.

Love the look and feel of this sweater. It is a real work of art.. Only concern is that it seems to run a little small. A perfect sweater otherwise.

I really love this Alpaca Snowflake sweater. The sweater is very soft and light but I can wear it outside without a coat when it is in the 30's and 40's and still be warm. I can also wear the sweater inside and not be too warm. The sweater has a great design and great color. The only downside is that you have to be careful putting it on and taking it off not to catch the threads on the inside of the sweater with the buttons on your shirt.

I have always run cooler than my peers. As a consequence I am used to bringing several layers for one day because I tend to overdress. I anticipate running cold, which is usually the case, but at some point throughout the day I shed a layer or two because I over estimated how cold I would be. This sweater is perfect! It's light weight and it breaths beautifully, so it I don't feel like I'm starting to sweat. I can push the sleeves up a bit and that's all it takes to cool off. Pull them down when I'm a little chilly, and I still feel the sweater breathing nicely, but it's warm and toasty too. Also, I'm a woman, I know it's a men's sweater, technically. I ordered a medium and it fits a little loosely, which I wanted. In unisex I'm about a small medium, I have broad shoulders (16.5"), 5'1" tall and 140lbs. I'm wearing it at work right now with some yoga leggings and boots. Also, it's not itchy at all. Very soft.
