The Falketind thermo40 shorts are highly praised as a versatile insulating layer for a variety of cold-weather activities. Downhill skiing/resort skiing emerges as the primary recommended use, with numerous reviewers highlighting their effectiveness in keeping warm on chairlifts and slopes. They are also used for winter camping, snowboarding, winter running, walking, and even general cold-weather comfort around the house or under shell pants.
Standout features include the side zippers for easy on/off over other layers (especially appreciated by skiers), the packable design, and the single leg pocket (useful for storing a phone). The Primaloft insulation provides warmth even in sub-zero temperatures (down to -12°C comfortably, according to one reviewer), while remaining lightweight and not bulky.
Fit and comfort are generally positive, with the shorts described as comfortable and offering good freedom of movement. However, some reviewers mention a slightly loose waistband and desire an adjustable waist. Sizing seems to run true to size, with the option to size up for layering over other garments.
Criticisms primarily revolve around the price, considered by some to be high. A few reviewers also suggest an adjustable waistband for a more secure fit, and an extended size range up to XL.
In conclusion, the Falketind thermo40 shorts are a highly recommended investment for anyone seeking a warm, versatile, and easily packable insulating layer for cold-weather activities, especially downhill skiing. They are particularly beneficial for those who prioritize warmth and convenience in cold conditions, and are willing to invest in a quality product.
