Details
Vail combines the natural warmth and durability of Norwegian wool with an integrated windproof lining for added protection in blustery conditions. Its regular fit offers comfortable layering room, while the adjustable drawcord waist helps customize the fit and reduce drafts.
A high quarter-zip neck, soft storm cuffs, and secure zippered pockets round out this practical winter outer layer.
Design Notes
The traditional Norwegian eight-petal rose takes center stage in Vail's bold, recognizable pattern. Off White creates a fresh, snowy backdrop, while Midnight Navy and Blue Shadow add depth and classic alpine contrast.
The result is unmistakably Norwegian, with a sporty, retro personality that looks just as good around the ski lodge as it does out on the mountain.
