Your Second Skin and First Choice: PAKA Unveils Essentials 2.0

June 5, 2025

The expanded collection includes new underwear, bras, tees and socks designed with ultra-soft, breathable natural fiber blends.

Boulder, CO (June 5, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — PAKA®, the leading innovator in alpaca apparel, introduces its expanded Essentials 2.0 Collection—a head-to-toe lineup of elevated basics designed for everyday comfort. Delivering best-in-class softness, breathability, and durability, each piece is made with PAKA’s unique blends of natural fibers for a product rooted in nature and built for performance.

Each piece in the collection features Traceable Alpaca fiber, sourced directly from the Peruvian highlands through PAKA’s transparent supply chain. Select styles—including the underwear, bras, and tank—are crafted with PAKA’s unique triblend yarn of traceable Royal Alpaca fiber, Organic Pima Cotton, and TENCEL™, plus the ideal amount of spandex for stay-put comfort. This exclusive blend delivers next-to-skin softness, natural breathability, and reliable moisture-wicking for all-day wear.

“Since we launched our first Essentials capsule in 2023, consumer demand continues to blow away our expectations,” said Megan Krajco, Design Director at PAKA. “With Essentials 2.0, we’re bringing our community new versatile solutions for everyday wear, meeting the growing demand for natural fiber solutions.”

For men, the collection features the Essential Boxer Brief, designed for everyday support, softness, and comfort. The briefs are available in a range of new nature-inspired colorways and the playful, limited-edition “Sebby” print, featuring PAKA’s alpaca mascot. Alongside the Essentials launch, PAKA is also introducing the 2-inch and 6-inch Active Trunks—designed for high output activities. The no-fly athletic cut, flatlock seams, and a soft, exposed elastic waistband provide maximum comfort and mobility.

The women’s line features the new Essential Bikini Brief and Essential Tank – fresh designs that join the Scoop Bralette and Mid-Rise Brief as part of PAKA’s Essentials collection. Each piece is crafted with the same premium triblend yarn of natural fibers for breathable, next-to-skin softness, along with the perfect amount of spandex for shape. Designed to stretch, move, and stay fresh, the Bikini Brief offers the plush comfort of alpaca fiber in a minimalist cut, while the Tank includes a built-in shelf bra and semi-cropped cut for layering.

Launching June 19, PAKA debuts elevated Essential Tees made with Organic Pima Cotton and traceable Royal Alpaca fiber—available in a classic crewneck silhouette for both men and women, with an additional V-neck option for women. Featuring a premium ribbed neckline and the signature Inca ID, these lightweight, thermoregulating shirts are perfect for lounging, layering, or exploring.

Finally, the Essential Socks round out the collection, available in No Show, Ankle, and Crew styles. These alpaca-blend socks offer the same reliable comfort and temperature-regulating performance—with cushioned soles, arch support, and a seamless toe box for an ultra-soft, stay-put fit.

The Essentials 2.0 Collection is available at www.pakaapparel.com/collections/essentials-collection, in a range of nature-inspired tones and everyday colors. Prices range from $29 to $59.
