Details:
Made from 100% superfine merino wool, the Moritz is designed to feel exceptionally soft and comfortable next to the skin. Its slim fit and lightweight, tightly knitted construction make it an easy base layer under ski gear while helping minimize show-through when worn on its own. The quarter-zip high neck adds warmth when zipped up and quick ventilation when things heat up.
Design Notes:
The Moritz Base Layer Sweater takes the look of a classic Norwegian ski sweater and gives it a lighter, sportier personality. Its distinctive pattern is shared with Dale of Norway’s bestselling Moritz Sweater and Moritz Cardigan, and draws inspiration from the 2003 St. Moritz World Ski Championship design.
Navy and Off White keep the pattern crisp and unmistakably Nordic, while Raspberry adds a lively pop of color. In the end, the base layer feels sporty without looking overly technical, making this one of those useful winter layers that can go from ski jacket to après-ski without disappearing underneath either one.
History:
The Moritz Base Layer design is inspired by Dale of Norway’s Moritz sweater created for the 2003 World Ski Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Known for its Alpine scenery and long association with winter sport, St. Moritz provided a fitting backdrop for a pattern that would become an enduring part of Dale of Norway’s collection. This lightweight version carries that ski heritage forward in a modern, next-to-skin merino layer.
