While suitable tops of all kinds are available in large numbers from practically every manufacturer, the situation is somewhat different when it comes to pants. Of course, hard and soft shell pants and ski underpants are widely available, but really warm pants as an intermediate layer are less common. This is where the Swiss company Penguin comes in with the Pinneco insulation shorts, a comfortable and warm pair of pants that can be worn under a hard shell. Thanks to two full-length side zippers, the shorts can also be taken off quickly, which of course fits in with the flexible background idea of the onion system.
Thanks to the very stretchy Pinneco material, the shorts are really very comfortable and do not restrict mobility, and they are also nice and warm, although they are not so warm that you can no longer wear them during physical activity. The full-length zippers on both sides are great. They make it easy to put the pants on and take them off, even when you're wearing ski boots. I even manage to take the Pinneco insulated shorts off through the ventilation zippers of my hardshell pants, which is of course very practical.
