Dale of Norway - Vail Men's Windstopper Hoodie
Navy/Indigo/Blue Shadow (95251-C)
Details:
The Vail Windstopper Hoodie is a loose fitting outer layer that is knit with 100% Norwegian wool, treated to be water repellent, and lined with a breathable windproof liner. Other notable features include: a half zip neck opening, two zippered front pockets, a roomy drawstring hood (lined with skin-soft merino wool for comfort), and a draw-cord in the hemline to keep the breeze out. A perfect companion for the great outdoors.
Design Notes:
The pattern for the Vail Windstopper Hoodie is taken from one of Dale of Norway's earlier designs. It was created as the official team sweater for the US Alpine Ski and Snowboard team during the 2006-07 Alpine World Championships in Vail, Colorado. This hooded version is an outer-layer interpretation of that bestselling sweater - (aptly named) Vail.
The Vail Windstopper Hoodie is made with Norwegian wool, one of the world’s most animal-friendly textile fibers. Dale of Norway's wool comes from sheep known for roaming freely in the vast Norwegian hillsides while grazing in natural pastures. This yarn offers an authentic look renowned for its uniquely crisp look and longevity.
