Fear not, something has been lost (or possibly gained) in translation here. These are not actually knickers, but highly practical 3/4-length trousers of the sort that were known as 'pedal-pushers' in the 90s, 'breeches' in the 70s and 'plus-fours' in the 20s. Whatever you want to call them, you genuinely won't find a better pair than these ones from Klättermusen. Rugged and lightweight, they're cut with pre-bent knees and adjustable elastic hems. The fabric is Klättermusen's abrasion-resistant WindStretch softshell material, and there's added reinforcement on the seat and knees. The Misty 2.0 knickers are breathable, quick-drying, wind-resistant and water-repellent, and they feature zipped back and leg pockets. They're aimed primarily at climbers looking for freedom and mobility on long ascents, but we reckon they're also a great pick for hikers

The mountain town of Åre is kind of like a Swedish Chamonix. It’s home to the country’s biggest ski area, and the rugged terrain is criss-crossed by long-distance hiking paths, snowmobile trails and downhill biking tracks.
It’s from this gnarly outdoor playground that cult Scandi gear brand, Klättermusen, emerged back in 1975. The company started out as a bunch of local climbers turning out DIY technical gear from a small workshop, and within ten years they’d already built up a rep for innovative and impeccably designed kit.
These days outdoor manufacturers love to shout about their environmental credentials, but sustainability is nothing new for Klättermusen. It’s been part of their ethos since those early days of flares and prog rock, and they’ve always believed that good gear should be made to last. Their packs and clothing are designed to hold up reliably year after year in full-on Alpine and sub-Arctic conditions – and this is even more impressive when you consider that many of their fabrics incorporate recycled materials like discarded fishing nets and worn-out carpets.
Pretty much no-one else is making outdoor gear of this quality, but somehow 'the Climbing Mouse' continues to scuttle slightly under the radar. Mention Klättermusen’s packs to any serious Swedish mountaineer and they either have one or want one, but outside Scandinavia it's still very much an ‘if you know, you know’ sort of a brand.
