Pioneering the use of yak wool to create ultra-soft and breathable wool activewear for your year-round adventures.
WHY YAK WOOL?
The natural properties of yak wool are second to none. Hollow fibres allow for warmth and breathability, and kora makes unrivalled performance wear by using this hero ingredient with other wools and fabrics.
WOOL MAKES GREAT ACTIVEWEAR
Wool is the ultimate fabric for activewear. Soft against the skin, the fibres naturally manage moisture far better than manufactured fabrics and are proven to keep you warm and cool when you need it most.

Product reviews
My Neema long sleeve is fabulous. I'm 5'7" and size 10, the small was perfect. Love the seams and how they fit the body well. Good length too.I have used mine for both yoga and as a base layer during this cold spring. Kept me really warm. The blue is a lovely change from the usual base layer colours.
My husband and I have been using kora shola yak bottoms since they came on the market and in true survival situations. The cost is well worth the price because no merino performs as well as yak wool, hands down. Weather climbing mountains or doing search and rescue we never need to worry about the cold. We hope the kora company continues to provide some PURE yak wool products.
The fit and finish of these garments is exceptional. No itch, moderate stretch and an appearance that's simply too beautiful to hide under another garment. Had I known that they would be this stunning, I would have ordered a larger size for wear on their own. Thank you Kora for your outstanding attention to quality and detail.
The Neema (and the Yushu as well) are both beautifully cut and look great! I am definitely happy I took a chance and ordered them. The yak wool seems to add a greater temperature range of comfort.
Extremely soft, lightweight, comfortable, and well constructed. Purchased an XL which offers a slightly relaxed fit on the body and sleeves with the right length for me at 6’3” and 185lbs. Very satisfied with this piece.
Absolutely love this jumper. Ski instructor in Switzerland I hardly took it off the whole winter . Not bulky under my jacket like other mid layers, very comfortable and breathable for cross country and warm enough for sitting on a terrace. Love the green colour.
This shirt is light weight and comfortable, not to mention breathable and quick drying. Excellent base layer or warm weather shirt. Fits nice and snug on me at 5'10" 150lbs in the medium size. Neema blend is very soft. If you're looking for a nice sleeveless shirt and you like wool then you'll likely love this.
Material feels really nice, this would be great in warm weather but still keeps me warm when a bit cool out. Makes a great base layer. Sleeves look long to me in the pics but fits and looks nice. Medium fit me nice and snug, I'm 5'10" 150lbs. If you're looking for a nice warm weather wool (plus yak!) shirt then look no further.
This really is a lovely shirt and if you've had your eye on it I encourage you to just go ahead and get it! For reference I got the large; I am approximately 5'10" or so and about 165 lbs. This shirt fits like it was custom made for me. Multiple wears (including back to back days), no washing and no odor whatsoever. The branding is subtle (and let's be honest, you're going to WANT people to ask you about this shirt!) with subtle color coming from the stitching around the shoulders. Details like the thumbholes at the end of the (extra-long) sleeves, dual (buttoned) chest pockets and a reversed button on the collar (which allows for total neck coverage) set this one apart. I find myself making excuses to wear it as the Yardang fabric is fantastic. 9.5/10.
Works great in cooler temps but also is okay at 60-65 degrees if it warms up.
Bought this for a Hong Kong winter of camping. Was perfect for beach and mountain-top campsites sitting around coupled with a jumper and a jacket. Perfect for lowish temperature hiking
I was hesitant at first but Yak is the real deal. I really like the cut of this top, it's comfortable, it moves with me really well and looks great. It is great for anything in cold weather. I'll probably take it with me backpacking / skiing etc. and maybe even just to walk around the block.
Perfect fit medium for me who is 173 cm and 75 kg. The sweater is warm but no too warm when you wandering. The only problem is that I will never take it off...
Let me say that Kora products are amazing, quality, comfort and most important
the product does what it is advertised for warmth, wicking, and purpose.
My daughter loves her new short sleeve shirt, she is an active winter alpinist
and wears all the Kora products. She was so excited to get the short sleeve
shirt to add to her Kora collection for all her outside adventures.
Thank you Kora for keeping my daughter warm and safe!
My kora Shola crew has changed my life! I can now hike and keep my core temperature maintained in all weathers - instead of buying lots of cheaper base layers just buy one kora and will be the most comfy you've ever felt when hiking.
