Dale of Norway Skipsleia Sweater

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This sweater feels like something you could pass down—it’s that well made. The wool is substantial but not scratchy, and the undyed version has a beautiful, natural tone. I’ve worn it as a midlayer on cold hikes and on its own for après—it’s a true year-round staple." The Skipsleia Sweater brings heritage craftsmanship into a modern fit we can wear anywhere. Dale of Norway crafted this piece with timeless Scandinavian character, drawing from the historic Fana sweater and iconic “Islender” worn by Norwegian fishermen. The result is a relaxed, rugged knit with subtle details like ribbed stripe accents and a traditional lice pattern—blending classic charm with contemporary versatility.Whether we choose the undyed natural wool or the plover-toned Norwegian yarn, the Skipsleia delivers breathable warmth with a clean, structured shape that layers well or stands alone. The midweight 3-ply knit and crewneck silhouette strike a balance between everyday comfort and alpine durability. It’s made to last through countless seasons—ready for everything from brisk hikes to fireside downtime.
