62% Recycled Nylon / 32% Nylon / 6% Elastane

bluesign® Approved Fabric – Highlighting that the fabric meets strict environmental and safety standards.

PFC-free DWR – The Durable Water Repellent finish is free of perfluorinated chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly option for shedding light moisture.

Regular Fit – Not too tight, not too loose. A regular fit aims for a comfortable middle ground, allowing for good freedom of movement on the bike without being overly baggy.

Articulated Design – They often feature articulated knees, meaning the shorts are pre-shaped to follow the natural bend of your legs while pedaling. This enhances comfort and prevents restriction.

Under-the-knee cut – The length typically falls around or just below the knee, providing some coverage and often designed to work well with knee pads.

Higher Back Waist – Many mountain biking shorts, including these, have a slightly higher rise in the back to provide better coverage and prevent gapping when you're leaning forward on the bike.

Custom-Fit Waist System – Norrona often includes an adjustable waist system (like velcro tabs or an internal drawcord) to help you dial in the perfect fit. Some models also feature a silicone grip in the waistband to keep the shorts from slipping.

Knee Pad Compatibility – The fit is usually designed to accommodate the use of knee pads comfortably.

Two Zippered Hand Pockets – These are standard pockets located on the front of the shorts, offering secure storage for essentials like your phone, keys, or small tools. The zippers ensure your belongings stay put while you're riding.

One Zippered Thigh Pocket – Located on the thigh, this pocket is often a convenient spot for items you might need to access more easily while on the bike, such as a multi-tool, energy gel, or a map. The zipper provides security.

Zippered Mesh Ventilation – These shorts incorporate zippered mesh vents, typically located on the thighs. This allows you to actively regulate airflow and dump heat quickly when you're working hard on a climb or during warmer conditions. This is a significant feature for comfort during intense activity.

Adjustable Waist System – Beyond just a standard waistband, these shorts feature an adjustable waist system, often using velcro straps or an internal drawcord. This allows you to fine-tune the fit for optimal comfort and security, especially important when moving dynamically on the bike.

Gusseted Crotch – This construction feature involves an extra panel of fabric sewn into the saddle area. It's designed to enhance freedom of movement and prevent chafing, which is crucial for comfortable pedaling over long distances.
