The Dale of Norway Men's Vail Half Zip Baselayer seamlessly blends style and performance, catering to both the active outdoor enthusiast and those who appreciate the art of comfort. Crafted from luxurious, soft merino wool, this sporty base layer is designed with a semi-high neck and a functional zipper, allowing for versatile wear in varying weather conditions. The flat seams thoughtfully prevent friction against the skin during movement, ensuring a second-skin feel on every adventure. Shaped side seams enhance comfort and promote an unrestricted range of motion, making it an ideal choice for activities from skiing to hiking. The striking contrast knitted underarm panel not only adds a unique flair but also enhances breathability. Whether layered beneath heavier attire or worn solo as a lightweight sweater, the Vail performs beautifully in both cold and warm climates. As a nod to its heritage, the design incorporates the traditional Norwegian eight-petal rose pattern, inspired by the beloved Vail sweater that served the US national alpine skiing and snowboarding team in the 2006-07 season. Plus, with Responsible Wool Standard certification, the merino wool used is ethically sourced, ensuring animal welfare and sustainable practices. Designed in Norway, this superlight knit base layer is machine washable on a wool program, making it easy to care for after a day of outdoor escapades. The trim, slim fit makes it a perfect pick for anyone seeking both functionality and flair in their winter wardrobe.
