What are the Norrona Women's Senja Flex1 8" Running Shorts?
The Norrona Senja Flex1 8" Shorts are designed for trail running, offering breathability and lightweight comfort in warm weather conditions. However, their versatility makes them perfect for various activities beyond running. Whether hiking, biking or simply spending time outdoors in the sun, these quick-drying shorts provide the freedom of movement and comfort needed to keep you active and cool all day long.
What are they made of?
The Norrona Women's Senja Flex1 8" 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 Norrona Senja Flex1 8" Shorts are designed with features that make them perfect for trail running and other outdoor activities.
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.
The waistband is crafted with a smooth, elastic design that flexes and moves naturally with your body, providing a comfortable and secure fit that adapts to your movements. This feature ensures the shorts don't pinch or restrict, even during dynamic activities.
Additionally, the adjustable drawstring allows you to fine-tune the fit, offering extra security and preventing the shorts from shifting or sliding down even during intense, high-impact activities.
For added versatility, a concealed opening at the back allows you to attach extra layers, making these shorts highly adaptable for unpredictable weather or varying conditions.
