What are they made of?
The Norrona Men's Senja Flex1 9" Shorts are crafted from Flex1 fabric, a high-performance blend of 86% recycled 20D nylon6 and 14% elastane. The Flex1 material provides excellent freedom of movement while also offering wind resistance, effective moisture management, and high breathability, ensuring you stay comfortable during even the most intense activities.
Additionally, these shorts are treated with a PFC-free, Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which protects you from light rain or splashes without harming the environment.
PFCs have been commonly used in outdoor gear to create water-resistant finishes, but they harm the environment. They break down very slowly and can accumulate in ecosystems, affecting wildlife and, potentially, human health.
A PFC-free DWR finish offers the same water-repellent benefits—causing water to bead up and roll off the fabric—without using these harmful chemicals.
The fabric in these shorts is certified by both Oeko-Tex and Bluesign, ensuring it meets strict safety and environmental responsibility standards.
Oeko-Tex certification guarantees the fabric is free from harmful chemicals, making it safe for your skin and overall health, meaning the shorts won't expose you to potentially toxic substances.
Bluesign certification goes further by ensuring the entire manufacturing process is safe. It ensures that harmful chemicals are removed or minimised in production, reducing waste, pollution, and environmental footprint. Bluesign-certified products are made with safer materials and processes, ensuring protection for both people and the planet.
What are their features?
The Senja Flex1 9" Shorts pack many practical features for active adventurers.
A zippered pocket at the back keeps your valuables safe and secure, allowing you to stay focused on your activities without worrying about them while on the move. It's perfect for stashing your phone, cards, or ID during runs, hikes, or any other outdoor adventure.
Two open-hand pockets offer quick access for smaller items, while four additional side pockets provide ample space for essentials like energy bars, gels, or snacks. One of these side pockets includes an internal key hook, giving you peace of mind that your keys are stored securely, won't get and are always within easy reach when you need them most.
To ensure maximum comfort during extended runs or hikes, the shorts feature a stretchy elastic waistband paired with a smart cord tightening system. This cord allows you to fine-tune the fit exactly how you like it, whether hitting steep trails or just needing a quick adjustment mid-activity.
A discreet tunnel is cleverly hidden at the back of the waistband. It's perfect for tucking away an extra layer like a lightweight jacket or even a pair of gloves. This tunnel ensures you're prepared for unpredictable weather without the need for a bulky backpack.
Plus, the gusseted crotch design guarantees complete freedom of movement, so whether you're scrambling up technical terrain or powering through an intense run, you'll never feel restricted.
