Details
Vola combines the natural warmth and character of 100% Norwegian wool with a windproof lining for extra protection when cold air starts moving. The loose fit leaves comfortable room for layering, while the high neck, heavyweight construction, and T-sleeves create a cozy outer layer without sacrificing freedom of movement.
A full-length two-way zipper lets you adjust the jacket for comfort, movement, or ventilation, and two zippered front pockets keep small essentials secure. Available in women’s sizes S–XXL, it’s built for those in-between days when a sweater isn’t quite enough but a conventional winter coat feels like overkill.
Design Notes
Vola takes a classic piece of Norwegian knitwear vocabulary and gives it an outdoor upgrade. Dale of Norway’s iconic eight-petal rose is paired with the traditional dotted “lice” pattern, rendered in a restrained two-color design that feels crisp, graphic, and refreshingly unfussy.
Mid Brown Melange and Off White give this version an especially natural Nordic character. The warm, earthy colors work beautifully with denim, hiking gear, ski layers, boots, and winter neutrals, making Vola equally believable on a mountain trail or walking through town.
That versatility is really the point. This is heritage knitwear designed to participate in modern outdoor life rather than merely reference it.
History
The eight-petal rose has long been associated with traditional Scandinavian knitting and appears throughout Dale of Norway’s extensive design archives. Here, it meets another familiar Norwegian knitting element, the small repeating dots commonly known as the “lice” pattern, creating a visual connection to generations of Nordic wool garments.
Vola reinterprets those heritage elements for contemporary life by combining Norwegian wool knitting with wind protection and practical jacket construction. Designed and knitted in Norway, it carries traditional pattern language into a distinctly modern piece of Scandinavian outerwear.
Named after Volafjellet in the Voss region, the design echoes the rhythm of Nordic outdoor life—where mountain air, movement, and heritage intersect. It feels grounded, purposeful, and ready for whatever the day brings.
