Tibetan nomad with yaks walking across Shey La pass on in the Nepal Himalaya.
The Yushu collection is named after the Himalayan home of kora’s yaks: the Yushu prefecture sits at 4800ms / 16,000 feet of altitude on the Qinghai Tibet plateau. The collection launches with styles for men and women, including long-sleeve tops, leggings, and men’s shorts, as well as a hat and neck gaiter. All styles come in black and feature corespun merino textile (a nylon yarn wrapped in merino) to increase durability in high-wear areas such as the crotch and the under-arm. All seams are crafted with overlock and triple step zig-zag stitching ensuring a completely flat yet ultra-strong finish.
The pieces in the Yushu collection are finished at the cuff with a colored woven tape inspired by the colors of prayer flags and the terrain of the Himalayas, making each Yushu piece unique. Prices range from $45 for the hat to $140 for the long-sleeve zip top.
The benefits of Yushu’s yak and merino combination include:
-
Exceptionally warm in very cold weather, yet cool and comfortable during intense exercise
-
Breathable and draws moisture away from the skin so you stay dry
-
Naturally odor-resistant, so you can wear it for days at a time and pack light
-
Super-soft and itch-free for more comfort
-
Natural stretch that flexes as you move
-
Built-in 40+ UPF sun protection
-
Machine washable; dries fast
