Internal mobile phone pocket in the right pocket. A zipped thigh pocket and a buttoned thigh pocket. Ventilation with mesh on the sides. The knee is bent for easier movement. The knickers are a little bit higher at the back than at the front. These knickers have a regular fit.

Knickers – or “nikkers” in Norwegian – are traditional pants with roots all the way back to USA and Great Britain in the 1800s. The definition of knickers is “a loose-fitting short pants gathered just below the knees.” The knickers pants soon became popular among both rich people, workers and sportsmen. In Norway, it became the preferred clothing for skiing, mountain climbing and general outdoor activities 150 years ago. Both Nansen and Amundsen used knickers on their famous polar expeditions. These days, the knickers are experiencing a renaissance and getting more and more popular. Norrøna have made different knickers models throughout our long history – and now they are back with their best knickers ever.
