Hi I'm looking for a winter trouser to walk and ice climb in.
When climbing I tend to get cold knees from resting against the snow.
Ideally a pair of trousers to take some sort of knee pad.

Any ideas.
Obviously I've seen snickers etc work trousers but is there a climbing orientated trouser on the market that would do the trick.

Bergens of Norway do a salopette with insulated knee pads.

They come in two different weights.

Pm me if you want more info.

Had you though of just wearing neoprene athletic knee supports under normal winter trous?

You could try cavers knee pads but if you are nesh then you might need to worry about reducing circulation to your feet.
