In this video, I test the Paka Apu Lightweight jacket that uses a new type of Alpaca Wool Insulation. It's marketed as a better alternative to synthetic insulation jackets and as a competitive alternative to down insulated jackets. I put it all to the test (to the best of my abilities), to find out what it's really like.
