Smart Design. Essential performance.
At Ayacucho, we believe outdoor gear should be reliable, comfortable, and ready for real-life adventures — without compromising on style. Our products are thoughtfully engineered to offer the right level of technical performance, whether you're hiking in the mountains or exploring closer to home.
We work closely with trusted suppliers to meet high standards for durability, comfort, and functionality. Every material is selected with care — from breathable fabrics to weather-resistant finishes — so you can move confidently through any terrain.
Conscious material choices
We prioritise materials that support long-term use and responsible production. This includes:
• Recycled fibres that help reduce waste
• Organic and mono-materials that reduce environmental impact and support responsible design.
• Certified wool and responsibly sourced or recycled down that respect animal welfare
Our goal is to make gear that lasts — and to keep improving how we make it. Below, you’ll find a selection of our preferred materials and fibres, chosen for their performance and purpose.
Nylon is one of the strongest synthetic fibres, valued for its durability, toughness, lightweight nature and water resistance,
making it ideal for outdoor gear like backpacks, jackets, and hats.

Wool is a natural fibre known for its warmth, breathability, and moisture regulation. It insulates even when wet, resists odour, and provides lasting comfort
— making it perfect for outdoor adventures in all seasons.
Cotton is a soft, breathable natural fibre, perfect for casual outdoor wear. It is valued for its comfort against skin and protection from the sun.
However, cotton absorbs moisture and dries slowly, making it unsuitable for active sports.
Down is a natural insulator, made from the soft undercoat of ducks, with an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio,
ideal for insulated jackets and sleeping bags.
Lenzing™ Modal is a silky-soft, breathable semi-synthetic fibre made from beechwood. It is biodegradable and produced with reduced
water and energy consumption. Its moisture management and gentle feel make it ideal for base layers. Lenzing™ Modal is a protected trademark of Lenzing AG.
TENCEL™ Lyocell is a fibre made from wood pulp, primarily from eucalyptus trees. It is breathable, soft on the skin, and naturally antibacterial.
When blended with cotton, it is ideal for T-shirts and dresses, offering moisture management and temperature regulation. The production process is closed-loop, minimising environmental impact.

Bamboo viscose is a regenerated cellulose fibre derived from bamboo pulp, used in our T-shirts for lightweight comfort.
It is soft, naturally breathable, antibacterial and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable in various climates. While bamboo is a fast-growing, water-efficient plant that requires no pesticides, the process of turning it into viscose can involve harmful chemicals. We acknowledge this challenge and are committed to responsible sourcing and production methods to minimise our environmental impact.
Omnipotent KOFFIE® blends recycled coffee grounds with synthetic fibres to enhance fabric performance.
This innovative material provides odour control, UV protection, and quick-drying properties. We use Omnipotent KOFFIE® in our outdoor T-shirts, where its antibacterial and moisture-wicking features improve comfort and durability. By repurposing waste, it supports a circular economy while enhancing the performance of outdoor gear.
