As seen in

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.

Wanted to love it

I agree with the other reviewer that said the neck is super snug when zipped all the way up. I run cold - was looking for the thumb holes and a zip-up to keep out the drafts. Read all the phenomenal reviews and was super excited to get the Xenolith. Ordered a couple other pieces too (Neema, Shola) tried them on first (awesome...working out well!) and was disappointed that I felt like I was choking in this sweater. Return was painless though and Kora offered a replacement in a different size/color but I already felt like the body was plenty big so I didn't want to go up anymore.
Seemed well made and judging by my other items I'm sure it was. I was very warm just while trying it on in the house and at 5'4", 110, long torso, I found the small to be roomy in the body, plenty of space for a base layer. I was ready to love it but it just didn't work for me.

Review of women's xenolith

I have the men's version and my wife was so impressed she wanted one too - she has not been disappointed. The quality of the yarn,, the garment's breathability and its versatility make this her new favorite piece of outdoor wear. Kudos to Kora!

Thank you kora for keeping me warm

Thank you kora for keeping me warm and protected on this windy headland, the base layers and my Xenolith absolutely nailed it and I didn't over heat once. A very happy lady.

Amazing!

This sweater is amazing! Great mid-layer for just about anything- hiking, sailing, skiing, traveling. It’s classy, warm, and breathable. The feels really luxurious, but it’s also really durable, so it is great for going out on the town and getting outdoors. I’m 5’10”, 120 lbs, and thin, and the small sweater fits me somewhat loosely around the torso without looking bulky or sloppy.

My go to!

Love this sweater. I bought for a mid layer but like it better as base layer. Perfect for winter hiking. It wicks amazingly well. It’s soft and cozy and the green with purple accents is beautiful. Only con, the collar is very snug when zipped up all the way.
