What are the Norrona Falketind Flex1 Pants?
The Norrona Falketind Flex1 Pants are your ultimate companion for mountaineering and outdoor activities across all seasons. These pants are not just hiking trousers; they're a fusion of high-quality materials and innovative designs tailored for those seeking adventure and performance in the great outdoors.
What are they made of?
Constructed from a high-quality flex1 soft-shell fabric, these pants blend 69% recycled polyamide, 19% recycled polyester, and 12% elastane.
The Elastane provides excellent freedom of movement making them perfect for rock climbing, scrambling, or any other activity that requires a full range of motion.
Thanks to the double-weaved material, these pants are also highly durable and windproof, making them perfect for harsh weather conditions. The fabric's high breathability and effective moisture transportation will keep you dry during intense activities such as hiking or running. DWR (durable water repellent) provides ample water resistance for light rain and showers. However, please note that this doesn't make the trousers fully waterproof, so if you get caught in a heavy downpour for more than a few minutes, you might be better off wearing a pair of shell trousers over the top.
What are its features?
These bad boys have features that will impress even the most avid climbers. The Custom-Fit waist system ensures a snug, personalized fit. You can tighten the waistband when you need extra support and want to prevent pants from shifting, like when hiking on uneven terrain or running. If you feel like you need a little more breathing room, you can loosen them out - just like unbuttoning your jeans after a big meal.
With the mesh-lined ventilation, which runs from the hips to the knee, you'll stay cool even during the most intense hikes or climbs.
These pants also offer ample and secure storage options. They come with two hand pockets, a back pocket, and a thigh pocket, all equipped with zippers to keep your belongings secure so you can easily store your phone, wallet, keys, and any other essentials without worrying about them falling out or getting lost.
With the hidden gaiter hook inside the lower leg hem, you can easily attach your gaiters to the pants to keep your feet and lower legs dry and protected from the snow, rain, or mud. This feature is handy for hikers, skiers, and snowshoers who must tackle rugged terrain and unpredictable weather conditions.
The flexible lower leg solution, featuring a zipper-closed gusset, expands the pants' versatility, allowing them to be worn over hiking and light ski touring boots.
The technical fit with articulated knees improves mobility, so you can finally take that scrambling route you've been eyeing up in the mountains. With knees that move without restriction, you can navigate steep inclines and tricky terrain with confidence.
