Details

A unique mix of yak wool, merino, nylon and Coolmax® Eco has been used to produce a highly technical performance sock that prioritises comfort.

Outdoor hiking socks are worn in technical boots in which the foot moves during use. Traditional outdoor socks use a terry loop construction around the entire foot for both protection and insulation. However, this terry loop is compressed underfoot during use, inhibiting its benefits, while adding unnecessary bulk and weight and increasing the chance of blisters. We have recreated the outdoor sock by turning current technology upside down.

- Smooth link toe seam for added comfort.

- High stretch cuff for minimal compression. Elastic support system throughout for support and to help prevent friction.

- Comfort zones: cushioning strategically placed throughout for ultimate protection.

- Reinforced heel and two zones for extra durability. Double density cushion padding for added protection

- Mesh panelling for ventilation and moisture management.

More warmth, less bulk

Our ‘upside down’ design takes the traditional sock design and flips it, giving warmth on the top of the foot while being less bulky underneath

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.

Live & love or return with our 35 day guarantee

You can wear your kora pieces, and if you wish to return them for any reason you may do so for a refund*.

Great socks

These socks are amazing. They fit well and are not over padded. They dry quickly and do not hold odor.
