Plover - Long-lasting Norwegian wool

A proprietary blend of wool produced in Norway from Norwegian sheep.

Due to this yarn’s unique qualities and consistent popularity, this wool quality has been a part of our family since 1939!

Norwegian wool is one of the world’s most animal-friendly textile fibers, due to the sheep’s natural mountain life. This yarn offers an authentic look renowned for its uniquely crisp look and longevity.

The wool in this garment is treated for extra dirt- and water-resistant properties. This treatment is PFOA-free and complies with the EU REACH regulation. The windproof lining in the garment adds further water resistance. Combined, the treatment and the lining achieve an 8000 mm waterproof rating. Please note that this garment doesn’t have taped seams and therefore is regarded as water resistant, not waterproof. This is a comfortable garment with high breathability, keeping you warm and dry on windy days, in light showers.

There is a note of both the 50s and the 60s in the Vegard hoodie. The design elements are amplified, featuring the classic Norwegian eight-petal rose, the cross known from the Setesdal and Cortina pattern, and the lice pattern.

“Vegard” is a Norse masculine given name meaning both “protection” and “home”. A suitable name for a warm, weatherproof hoodie strongly rooted in Norwegian design history.
