Our newly redesigned Radar MASH Hat continues to pay homage to Radar O'Reilly while bringing a bold splash of color and function to any adventurer’s winter garb.
The jersey knit outer shell uses alpaca’s naturally insulating and thermoregulating properties to keep you comfortable and warm.
The inner headband area is lined with micro-fleece to block the wind and keep the hat fitting well season after season, adventure after adventure.
The top of your head will still be able to breathe and exchange moisture through the alpaca jersey knit, keeping you comfortable even if you break a sweat working out in the cold.
The sewn in sturdy brim is pliable and will hold its shape over time, protecting your eyes from precipitation so you can see and stay on the trail.
U.S. grown, U.S. made alpaca - this hat is designed, cut, sewn, dyed, and finished right here at NEAFP in Fall River, MA.

Putting our Fiber to Work - Overview:
Island Alpaca contributes half of our annual harvest to a local fiber cooperative which supports not only our farm, but other alpaca farms. Our local fiber cooperative is a processor that prides itself on producing high quality alpaca products and maximizing the value of our raw alpaca fiber, so that we can offer, in turn, these high quality, environmentally and socially conscious alpaca products to the market.
At Island Alpaca, we give regular fiber supplements and ground flax daily to our alpacas, helping to promote overall good health and a superior quality fleece. Our alpaca fleece is so fine that last year a large portion of our "seconds" (neck fiber) were re-sorted into the "prime" (blanket) category. Our textile lab has shown results that indicate that our alpacas are some of the finest in the country.
At Island Alpaca’s annual shearing, we skirt and hand-sort the fleeces in order to produce a range of products which use all grades of fiber. At the cooperative, it is then sorted by color and grade, then hand baled, scoured, spun, and finally either machine knit or woven into beautiful, high quality alpaca products. Once the product is received at our Martha’s Vineyard farm, these items receive the Island Alpaca label and then become available to you for purchasing.
We hope you enjoy our products produced by our local fiber cooperative.
