High quality garments. A bit spendy though.

Xenolith sweater

My third Kora product. Best sweater I've had. Ultra soft feel, light, very warm. I have the purple version and I get lots of great comments from ski instructor friends asking about it and the company.

Simply Amazing!!

The Xenolith represents the pinnacle of both softness and warmth in a midlayer. The yak and merino combination creates a luxurious feel that will make pretty much anyone more huggable. Performance wise, it’s proven to be warm, breathable, and durable so far. I tend to wear it over a light or mid weight base layer, although it’s soft enough to be worn alone. The deep zip and mesh lining add to its technical chops, as does the Polartec Alpha. If there’s any quibble, it’s that the sleeves could be a tad shorter, but obviously that issue will vary depending on one’s height/arm length. I do wish Kora would make a hooded version and add a few brighter colors. As for the current Xenolith, they have a real winner that I highly recommend.

One of the warmest things I own

I started to feel warmer as soon as I put this on and it is so soft. Excellent quality and it washes great. I wear this almost everyday now during the winter.
