Men's Alpaca Wool Long Sleeve Hoodie

Same experience like some people said before. Contrary to the marketing, the hoodie caused a lot of itching on my skin the first time I put it on, even though I don't have sensitive skin.
I've tried all the tips to get the hoodie soft and no longer scratchy (vinegar, freezer, washing with wool detergent) but nothing worked well.
It's still uncomfortable because of the unpleasant skin sensation.
I suspect that inferior alpaca fine blend (26.5 - 27.5 microns) or alpaca fleece wool (25.0 - 26.5 microns) was used here instead of the better quality baby royal wool (19.5-21.5 microns) or a blend of these qualities, which nevertheless promotes the scratching. I think that by omitting the important information about the fineness of the wool, the buyer is misled into buying it. a specification of the fineness would be decisive for the purchase decision.
sadly return time for exchange is over.
The general cut is good - not too tight and not too wide for a normal body shape.
From my own experience, I can confirm that a helmet does not really fit under the hood. After all, the warming layer should be close to the body and not serve primarily as wind protection.
That's why i usually wore the hood under a helmet or a cap.
Thumbholes and a higher collar, as with competing products, would make the product even more popular. But that's just my opinon as a user.
If I knew that I could get a quality replacement for this product, I would still give the new hoodie a chance.
And that's because it keeps you very warm despite its thinness, dries quickly and has all the other advantages of alpaca wool.

I put it on and felt it was scratchy and tight so I immediately returned it. I think Alpaca is awesome and superior to merino. I know this company is amazing and far superior to others.

Love the fit, which is fitted. I am 5'9 and 170 lbs. I ordered a large. Very comfortable and soft hoody. Looks great in black and the hood is right sized. Doubt you could fit a helmet under the hood but perfect for your melon. Would def buy again.
