A warm and traditional Devold original made from 100% pure new Norwegian wool. These sweaters were originally made for the Arctic fishermen and other workers along the harsh Norwegian coast. Today they are popular mid-layers or outerwear perfectly suited to cold weather. In order to acheive a soft and well fitted garment these pullovers are pre-washed. The Devold® Nansen sweater is a fundamental part of Devold’s history, named after the famous Norwegian explorer, Fridtjof Nansen, who completed the first crossing of Greenland in 1888, dressed in Devold. The Nansen sweaters will perform in the toughest conditions, or make you stand out in the streets.
