Kora Expands Yak Wool Midweight Outdoor Collection

Kora (https://koraoutdoor.com), a pioneer in using yak wool for performance apparel, has expanded its Yardang Collection include a midweight (240gsm) quarter-zip jersey, hat, and neck gaiter. Kora also introduced new colors – copper orange and lake blue – to this collection.

Like all the brand’s Hima-Layer fabrics, the kora team designed and developed the Yardang, a blend of 70 percent ultrafine, non-mulesed merino, supercharged by 30 percent premium Himalayan yak wool. Designed for comfort and breathability in all weather conditions, this particular Hima-Layer fabric is geared to four-season activities, whether backcountry skiing or taking a stroll along the coast on a summer’s evening – the fabric will assist in regulating temperature, lessening any extremes of feeling hot and cold. The unique blend of yak and merino also means Yardang is buttery-soft to the touch.

Kora’s Yardang Jersey is designed as a midweight, mid-layer. It is versatile, fits perfectly over a base layer and is light enough to have another sweater layered on top for cooler days. Available in the lake blue and copper orange colors.
