A couple years ago, I contacted Lou at FoxWear, telling him I wanted winter cycling pants in the warmest material he had. I don't recall the name of the material, but he had it only in dark gray. I *love* them! They are a soft-shell material, fit closely, but not too tight, and are so warm that I learned not to wear them when the temp is >50F.

These knee warmers are really thick and comfortable, made of wool and rabbit hair.

I wear these.

They're fairly warm. I rode in them in the low 30s this morning and my legs remained warm. Given that I'm always cold, I'd say these pants work pretty well.
Just in case, I've just bought a pair of Costco "drirelease" merino-mix tights to wear underneath them.
So my layers will be (1) liner shorts (or performance shorts), (2) Costco tights if necessary, and (3) Novara pants.

Don't know what's wrong with your browser. The first time I linked from my account. Then I logged out and re-linked. If you still don't see it, just type the search term "1Pair Winter Sports Cyling Motocycle Knee Warmer Bike Basketball Warm Brace BLK". The seller is jsbay88. Current price $7.13.
