Details:
The Nale (Nåle) 1/4 Zip Men's Sweater is a lightweight merino wool sweater designed for comfort in changing conditions. It has a regular fit that makes layering easy, while the medium-high collar and quarter zip neck opening provide adjustable warmth whether you're on the slopes or out for the day. Naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and itch-free, it's an easy choice for active days and everyday wear alike.
Design Notes:
The bold eight-petal Norwegian rose across the chest creates an unmistakable Nordic statement in the colors of the Norwegian flag. It is framed by the signature "Dale 1879" band celebrating more than a century of craftsmanship. Coordinating shoulder stripes in red rose and off white meet with smaller eight-petal rose details at the cuffs adding balance without overwhelming the clean, athletic design. The result is a sweater that feels equally at home in the mountains, at the ski lodge, or around town.
History:
Nale (Nåle) meaning "The Needle," takes its name from one of the three dramatic peaks of Norway's Skarstind massif. The neighboring summit, Skarstind, is Norway's fifth-highest mountain, providing fitting inspiration for a sweater designed to celebrate the country's alpine heritage. Like the landscape itself, the Nale sweater combines rugged performance with enduring Scandinavian design.
