Details

Combining the benefits of natural performance wools, Yak wool, and Merino with Polartec Alpha insulation, this lightweight sweater has an ergonomic fit, allowing freedom of movement.

Made with our Hima-Layer™ Yardang fabric, a Merino-Yak wool blend, the Xenolith is designed to help you maintain a comfortable body temperature during intense exercise on the mountain.

We’ve added recycled Polartec® Alpha® - a hi-tech alternative to down and fleece insulation - in the body and at the top of the sleeves to enhance the wool’s natural warmth and breathability.

Unlike down, it’s extremely breathable, insulates even when wet and dries quickly. Unlike fleece, it packs down small. It’s quiet too - no rustling noises as you move.

We’ve added a host of useful features such as thumb loops, an extra long zip for ventilation and a zipped inside pocket for stashing keys, sun cream or cell phone.

Fabric weight: Hima-Layer™ Yardang fabric, 240gsm

Item weight (large): 500g

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.

Big green jumper thing

This top is a good single layer but I prefer it as a mid- layer. The fit is comfortable for movement and the long zip is ace for venting or sealing warmth in. The thumb loops provide extra comfort in cool weather but cover a bit much of my palm to use if active without gloves. To be nit picky the back length is slightly short if like me you are shaped short legged and long backed. The fabric is quite soft which is why I use as a mid-layer to prevent friction wear. This is my new 3 season go to piece of kit. Well done Kora.

Spectacular!

The short version- awesome. Everything Kora claims is true. It’s magically warm and the moisture management is superb. I spent two hours XC skiing today in 15 F with light wind and light snow and wore a Shola and the Xenolith and a Yushu hat. I have a ton of merino (which I love) and can feel the difference in the wicking performance.

My only concern about the Xenolith is that the use of Polartec (non wool) may be a source of stink. No issues after three weeks.

Overall- fantastic sweater. Highly recommend.
