Dale of Norway Vail Men's Sweater

The Dale of Norway Vail Men's Sweater is a heavyweight Norwegian wool knit built in the brand's heritage tradition. A dense 3-ply knit and a soft fleece-lined neckline deliver real warmth with next-to-skin comfort. It's a classic quarter-zip sweater made to last for years of cold-weather wear.

Why we like it:

The heavy Norwegian wool is the appeal; it's warm, durable, and naturally weather-resistant in a way synthetics can't match, and the fleece-lined neck keeps the collar soft against the skin. This is knitwear built as an heirloom, not a throwaway.

Features and Functions:

The Vail is knit from 100% long-lasting Norwegian wool (Plover, 33.5 micron) in a heavy 3-ply, 5-gauge construction that weighs around 990 grams in a size L, delivering substantial warmth. A quarter-zip with a medium-high neck adds venting and coverage, the neckline is lined in skin-soft fleece, and the T-sleeve construction follows Dale's traditional knitting. It's hand wash to protect the wool.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit gives it an easy, layer-friendly shape over a baselayer or shirt. It's roomy enough to move without being oversized. Offered in an extended XS to 3XL range.

Bottom Line:

This is a heritage wool sweater, best for anyone who wants durable, natural warmth with timeless Norwegian style. It works as a midlayer under a shell or a standalone sweater around the lodge. A long-term wardrobe investment.
