Details
Roset pairs a warm Norwegian wool exterior with a windproof lining for extra protection in exposed conditions. Two-way side zippers provide adjustable ventilation, while the high neck, extended storm cuffs, and hidden pockets add practical coverage and storage.
The regular fit leaves room for layering, with sizes from S–3XL for a versatile cold-weather outer layer.
Design Notes
Black and Off White puts a crisp, graphic spin on Roset’s reworked Norwegian pattern. The high contrast feels sporty and modern, making this colorway equally convincing with ski gear, hiking pants, or your everyday winter uniform.
Its design draws from Dale of Norway’s 2003 St. Moritz World Ski Championship sweater, transforming that heritage into something considerably more weather-ready.
History
Roset is named for an old summer farm and hiking destination with panoramic views over Voss and the surrounding mountains near Dale, Norway. It gives an outdoor-focused sweater an appropriately outdoorsy namesake.
The pattern looks farther south for inspiration, referencing Dale of Norway’s design for the 2003 World Ski Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
