Fjällräven’s Expedition Down Knickers are insulated shorts. You’ll find that if you’re active, you don’t need full-length insulated pants so these are a good option, particularly if you’ve got to carry everything with you.
Currently, available in sizes XS-XXL in Basalt (shown) and UN Blue (no kidding, that’s the name).

These may only be applicable to Vikings… idk
Nope. Most fjallravn is made in China. Go ahead and fund their rise if you like, but don’t run around like you’re a US patriot when you are simply a US hypocrite. If this site was awash with personnel, I would expect manufacturing origin to be included in every gear article&review. (As it stands, I believe the site is run largely by one hard-working individual who understandably does not have the time to do this.)
@Regg – lighten up a bit. Big Red One made a joke about..vikings wearing down knickers. And while I’m not a mind-reader, I’m reasonably certain Big Red One wasn’t even close to thinking about Chinese vikings. Awash with personnel..? Dude, go grab a couple of scoops of some good ‘ol fashioned American ice cream and just chill out, will ya?! Damn..
A pair of these knickers, worn with a decent set of gore-tex gaiters etc. Man, you’d be all set!
