With a military stripe collar and cuffs, marled stitch rib raglan and side insets, and mini striped ribbing, the Nils Valerie sweater stands out from your average single color mid-layers. The Nils Valerie sweater functions as a mid-layer for cold weather skiing, but it can easily be worn as a winter fashion sweater outside of the resort or aprFs ski. That's one less piece you have to pack! The half zip turtle neck helps you regulate temperature for changing conditions or as you go from the slopes to the shops.
