The Dale of Norway Men's Hovden Sweater perfectly blends style and comfort for the modern outdoor enthusiast. Crafted from 100% skin-soft merino wool, this contemporary and lightweight sweater is designed and knitted in Norway, ensuring an exceptional quality that stands the test of time. Drawing inspiration from its predecessor, the popular Vail sweater - venerated as the official team sweater for the US Alpine and Snowboard team during the 2006-07 season - the Hovden provides a fresh evolution without sacrificing the luxurious feel. Its unique Zefir construction allows for easy machine washing on a wool-cycle, making it as low maintenance as it is stylish. The ultra-soft merino wool is not only incredibly smooth against the skin but also comes from mulesing-free sheep, ensuring ethical production without compromising on quality. Whether hitting the slopes or enjoying a chilly evening around the campfire, this sweater is tailored to meet the needs of active individuals seeking both functionality and effortless elegance.
