The Wool Padding
Stop losing heat to the seat! That’s why we made Wool Padding – crafted from 100% Norwegian wool at Fredriksens Fabrikk in Telemark. The raw wool is felted through a purely mechanical process, without water or chemicals.
Designed to fit into the pocket of the Longs Padded and Zipshorts Padded, so you always have a built-in seat pad where you need it most.

BUTT CONDUCTION
Heard of conduction? It happens when your body is in direct contact with a cold or warm object. Heat loss is much more efficient when conduction occurs. (A stone at 2°C can actually feel colder to your body than air at -10°C.) We sit more than we realize—in the ski lift, around the campfire, or at the bus stop. Isn't it strange that our clothing doesn’t account for butt conduction, even though we’re constantly sitting on cold surfaces?
The Padding fits perfectly in The Zipshorts™ Padded and The Longs Padded.
A technical and important element of the padding is that it isn't made of down or similar materials. Insulated garments have many advantages, but a disadvantage is that the insulation effect disappears when you sit on it. The wool felt in this padding won't flatten when you sit on it, and will keep its insulation effect.
LOCAL PRODUCTION
Local production has become an integral part of how we operate. A manufacturer who sells to their neighbor cares about the product they make. They want the customer to love it — and they don’t pour harmful chemicals into the product or the river outside. Local production means higher quality, which is good for both people and the planet.
The Wool Padding in this product is made with Norwegian wool at Fredriksens Fabrikk in Telemark. Here, wool is turned to felt in a mechanical process without use of water og chemicals.
