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

Care Guide

Can be machine washed at 30°C. Do not use softener. Close any zips, wash with similar colours in a washing bag and dry on a line or rack.

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.

Wife is Happy

This was a purely speculative purchase for my wife for Christmas. She likes it a lot, and will keep it. Sorry, I can't give any feedback on what it's like during actual outdoor activity yet.
It seems very well designed and put together. I like that the material has a little more "heft" than simple fleece, and at the same time isn't bulky.

Most awesome sweater

I love this sweater. It has just the right amount of insulation and it is so soft. I am 5'7", 125 lbs, slim build and the medium fits very well. Large enough to fit a baselayer underneath and not baggy at all. If it wasn't for the price, I would have 2 of them.

Warm and lightweight

Kora comes through yet again!

I own and love several Kora products. When I saw this go on sale, I literally jumped at it...and man oh man, let me tell you...I sure am happy I did.

The look and feel is just awesome. Seriously, it looks and feels like nothing else I own, and the vast majority of my ski gear is very high end stuff, like Arc'teryx, Voormi, Mountain Hardwear, and Patagonia. This thing is so soft, it's rather crazy. The feel is so luxurious. Even the navy blue color looks so rich.

I'm a big guy and not in great shape right now. I wear XXL and sometimes, some brands are actually a bit too snug. This fits me great for a midlayer with a thin baselayer underneath. I'll need to lose a few pounds for it to truly fit and look like it should, but I can easily do that.

I'll be in Steamboat Springs ripping up the POW all next week, and I can already guarantee you that my new Stratam Sweater will be proudly shown off to friends...and maybe even some new friends. HA!

Thanks, Kora! Another great product. I just wish this came in a few other colors, so I could buy them wear it no matter what color jacket I'm sporting.

JUST BUY IT ALREADY!

Bought size Sm
I purchased this item in 2 different colors along with the YUSHU BASELAYER BOTTOMS
These are perfect for when I’m physically moving in 0-10 degrees ( F) and 10 MPH winds From my experience I love these.
They are slightly itchy on the first wear but afterwards extremely comfortable. Super lightweight, moisture wicking, easy to pack, easy to care for washing, drying etc. you won’t regret it. Super great fit.
I don’t even feel cold after working out in these.
I wear a polyester windproof jacket over this shirt and I’m good to go.
Shipping takes about 2 weeks to Chicago, IL

Absolutely wonderful

Hey everyone I’m from Chicago Illinois and it gets COLD up here.

Currently it’s been around ( - 5 to 10 F ) avg 10-15 mph wind occasional 30 mph GUSTS and I’ve been wearing this non stop it keeps me completely warm.
It’s soft, easy to care for, wash dry etc, very good insulation, comfortable, lightweight, easy to pack. Overall great bang for your buck.
When you’re inside you don’t feel it overheating and it isn’t overbearing you because it regulates your temperature amazingly well.
If I’m outside for long periods
ex 1hr hrs and I’m talking, it begins to frost near my mouth, due to the heat— vapor—and the cold immediately freezing it — thats the only drawback. (Even so it still is warm)
Other than that, it’s amazing.

Healthy and physically fit I recommend this product!
