Our Hima-Layer™ Yardang fabric blends 30% premium yak wool with 70% superfine merino and the Men's Xenolith Yak & Merino Wool Mountain Sweater 2.0 is available in six colours.



Polartec® Alpha® was invented for the U.S. special forces. They required a superior insulation system for extreme temperature variations and the start-stop conditions of combat. Alpha® active insulation is engineered for consistent warmth, while allowing greater breathability during activity. This air exchange technology creates sustained comfort without shedding layers, which isn’t an option during a mission - and we have incorporated a layer of Polartec® Alpha® into the Xenolith Mountain Sweater 2.0 for exactly the same reason.

Warm mid layer with added insulation

Designed to be worn in colder conditions in the mountains, we have added Polartec® Alpha® to the interior - which was formulated for the US Special Forces - for added insulation.

Giving back to the Himalayan nomads

kora was founded with the aim of supporting the communities of the Kegawa Herders' Cooperative, by buying their yak wool directly to create our layers.

A collective of more than 90 families in the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, our friends live all year around at 4,500m.

We buy this wool at a set mid-market rate throughout the buying season in order to offer price certainty, and in addition we pay a 10% stipend.

Xenolith sweater

My third Kora product. Best sweater I've had. Ultra soft feel, light, very warm. I have the purple version and I get lots of great comments from ski instructor friends asking about it and the company.

Simply Amazing!!

The Xenolith represents the pinnacle of both softness and warmth in a midlayer. The yak and merino combination creates a luxurious feel that will make pretty much anyone more huggable. Performance wise, it’s proven to be warm, breathable, and durable so far. I tend to wear it over a light or mid weight base layer, although it’s soft enough to be worn alone. The deep zip and mesh lining add to its technical chops, as does the Polartec Alpha. If there’s any quibble, it’s that the sleeves could be a tad shorter, but obviously that issue will vary depending on one’s height/arm length. I do wish Kora would make a hooded version and add a few brighter colors. As for the current Xenolith, they have a real winner that I highly recommend.

One of the warmest things I own

I started to feel warmer as soon as I put this on and it is so soft. Excellent quality and it washes great. I wear this almost everyday now during the winter.

Winter warmth

This sweater is as soft as Duckworth's stellar Maverick wool, which is saying something. It's a little toasty for a sunny fall day sometimes, but a perfect midlayer when the mercury drops. The weight-to-warmth ratio is crazy - no wonder yaks stay warm in winter despite being at such high elevation.
