Norman launches new range

Sustainable mountain biking brand Norman has launched a new line of high-tech downhill shorts for life on and off the mountain

Norman’s first 2023 release synergises function and form – bringing a new, ethically made offering to Australia’s fast-growing mountain biking community

Snowy Mountains born mountain bike clothing brand, Norman, has revealed their new range of versatile and sustainable biking gear: the Lightweight Downhill Series. Launching with the Downhill Series Shorts, the range provides riders with built in protection to keep them safe on the bike and stylish anywhere.

The new range of Downhill Series Shorts have been created with inbuilt recycled neoprene padding along the outer panel. Most mountain biking shorts don’t come with built in padding, so while crashing is never ideal, Norman’s Downhill Shorts will soak up some of the sting if you do come unstuck.

Designed using premium fabric – a polyester and elastane made using real recycled plastic bottles – the Downhill Series Shorts are designed to give riders ultimate movement and flexibility on the bike.

The high performance fabric meets the needs of mountain bikers of any ability: moisturewicking, antibacterial, sweat resistant, highly durable and ultra lightweight at 150GSM. Pockets on the left thigh and YKK zips add to the purposeful, highly functional design –created with seamless days on the mountain in mind.

With a focus on inclusivity, Norman’s apparel is available in sizes that make riders of every body shape feel confident and comfortable on the mountain.
