Paka

Paka, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of alpaca outerwear, celebrates the launch of its award-winning PAKAFILL lightweight puffer jacket. They had a pair of Alpacas with which you could feed, pet, and take Instagram pics.

Cuteness overload – very sweet Alpacas at the Paka booth. I had a fun talk with the farmer that raises the Alpacas. Turns out that Blue is an extremely rare coloring that is cobalt up close.

Sourced directly from the Peruvian Andes, their alpaca fiber comes from animals that roam free in their natural environment. By merging functionality with sustainability, Paka is providing an alternative in performance-based clothing for consumers to make choices that are better for the environment’s well-being as well as their own.

Stoko

Stoko exists to empower an active lifestyle. We help people get active and stay active for as long as possible with the only technical apparel with medical-grade bracing proven to help them overcome injuries, eliminate pain, and give them the confidence to get back out there.

  • Improved  support and stability
  • Increased confidence
  • Injury protection
  • Pain reduction

The K1 Summit provides the same support as a traditional knee brace by integrating 90 feet of high-strength cables, 15x the strength of steel, directly into the fabric. Two dials in the waistband allow you to adjust the support in each leg on-the-fly. The result is increased stability and freedom to move with the support that inspires confidence.

  • Medical-grade knee bracing
  • Adjustable support
  • Targeted compression
  • Light, breathable fabric
  • Drop-in side pocket
  • Knit fly
