What are the Norrona Women's Falketind flex1 Light Pants?
The Falketind flex1 Light are versatile softshell pants tailored for mountaineering but equally suitable for hiking and other outdoor activities. They adapt to any season and offer a perfect balance of durability, breathability, and stretch to keep you moving freely and comfortably through your adventures.
What are they made of?
These pants are made of Norrona's Flex1 softshell fabric, which is designed to provide the perfect blend of movement, comfort, and durability.
The flex1 is a four-way stretch ripstop blend of 85% recycled nylon and 15% elastane. It's built to flex in all directions, offering maximum freedom of movement, whether hiking up steep trails, scrambling over rocks, or simply enjoying a walk outdoors.
The ripstop part of the fabric means it's woven in a way that makes it resistant to tears and rips. Thus, it's strong and durable, able to withstand wear and tear from rough terrain and frequent use.
The 85% recycled nylon makes the pants durable and eco-conscious. Producing recycled nylon requires less energy and water, helping to reduce the environmental impact.
The addition of 15% elastane gives the pants that stretchy, flexible feel, allowing them to adapt to your movements while maintaining their shape.
Weighing in at 125 g/m², the fabric is lightweight, so it won't feel bulky or heavy. It's also wind-resistant, helping to block out chilly gusts and keeping you comfortable in changing weather. Plus, this fabric is great at managing moisture. It wicks sweat away from your skin and dries quickly, so you'll stay drier and more comfortable, even during more intense activities.
Features:
These pants have a custom-fit waist system, which allows you to easily adjust the waistband for a snug, secure, and comfortable fit. Whether you're layering up for cooler weather, moving around a lot, or simply prefer a more tailored feel, this system helps you get the perfect fit. No need for a belt, and no worries about the pants slipping as you move.
For those on the go, having quick access to essentials is key. The Falketind flex1 Light Pants come with two zippered hand pockets, providing convenient storage for small items like your phone, keys, snacks, or a trail map. The zippers keep everything secure, so you won't have to worry about anything falling out when being active.
The lower edge of the pants is reinforced with a knit material, adding an extra layer of protection against abrasion and wear. This reinforcement is handy when navigating rocky terrain or when your pants rub against hiking boots, crampons, or other gear.
A great pair of outdoor pants should never hold you back, and that's why these have a technical fit designed for maximum mobility. The shape of the pants is tailored to move with you, providing flexibility without being too loose or restrictive. Whether hiking uphill, crouching down, or reaching out during a climb, the pants allow for a full range of motion, giving you the freedom to tackle any terrain with comfort and confidence.
