Norrona Skibotn Flex1 Women's Pant

Lightweight and built to move, the Norrona Skibotn Flex1 Women's Pant is a technical softshell mountain bike pant for freeride riding and general outdoor use. A stretchy, durable recycled ripstop fabric, reinforced wear zones, and a bike-specific fit offer protection without weighing you down.

Why we like it:

Norrona calls it one of its lightest mountain bike pants, and it shows on long climbs. The reflective stripes on the back calves are a smart safety touch for dusky rides.

Features and Functions:

The main fabric is Norrona's flex1, an 85 percent recycled nylon and 15 percent elastane ripstop at 162 g/m², treated with a DWR, while reinforcement areas use a tougher 205 g/m² blend. Flex1 is wind resistant, breathable, and quick drying. Storage includes hand pockets, zippered back pockets with vertical entrances, and a tool pocket. A gusseted crotch, reinforced seat, double top-stitched seams, laminated zippers, and reflective logos and calf stripes round it out.

Fit and Sizing:

A technical fit with articulated knees and seat moves easily on the bike, and stretch hems keep the cuffs out of the drivetrain. A custom-fit waist system with an anti-slip inner waistband and a higher back dials it in.

Bottom Line:

Women riding freeride and trail terrain will appreciate the protection without the weight, and it doubles as a capable hiking pant.
