I had 2 pairs of those knickers. I have one old pair remaining as my backcountry touring capris. They are too stained/worn for normal use, but perfect for backcountry touring as they are warm when you want them to be and cool when you need them to be. Add a pair of long socks and you have pants...sort of...to keep biting bugs off your lower half.
For a while MEC was the capri/knicker warehouse, but these days not so much.
Prana used to make a good knicker and I have a couple of them still, but they are gone from their line up. Not sure why the outdoor industry has turned its back on the excellent man-pri design?
