Thanks to your feedback, we have improved the design of the NH 500 Hiking Shorts. 
We changed the component to add elastane (3%) and polyester for better breathability and fit. We have also made the shorts bigger.
Lastly, we improved the cut of the shorts at the crotch.

Choosing the right size

Your feedback helped us improve the NH 500 pants design.
The new model incorporates more stretch for superior freedom of movement. We also made it even more comfortable to wear (soft cotton, wide waistband) and shortened its drying time (synthetic component).

Our products’ environmental impact

onlyonline

Stretch fabric (2% spandex) and loose fit

4 pockets | 1 thigh pocket (hook-and-loop tab) | 2 hand pockets | 1 rear pocket

Easy transport

Main component contains 79% organic cotton.

Regular fit | Available from size S to 3XL

Belt with wide loops | Press stud fastening

The main fabric contains small quantities of polyester to wick away moisture

Designed for occasional hikes on easy trails.

The pant material makes them pleasant to wear between seasons or in summer, as it is not too hot.

Three-season pants

The pant material contains spandex. If you are between two sizes, choose the smallest of the two. After washing, the pants may seem a little tight. However, they will loosen after use (like a pair of jeans with spandex).

Our advice for choosing your size

The fabric of these pants contains 79% organic cotton.
We began using organic cotton in 2006, a market that currently represents just 0.4% of worldwide cotton production. The cotton is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It protects biodiversity, soil fertility and reduces the risk of groundwater pollution. This is still not enough and that’s why we are working to make this product eco-designed.

Our environmental approach

Thanks to all your feedback, we have improved the concept and design of the NH 100 pants. The stretch component of this new model increases your freedom of movement. We also improved comfort (softness of cotton, width of the waistband) and drying speed (synthetic component). Finally, we also took into account your feedback on the depth of the pockets and the cut of the pants.

Your opinion is important to us!

The cut is regular (straight). There’s a trim at the hem when you turn it up to adjust the pants to your height.

We make our polyester from plastic bottles, reducing the use of oil-based resources while preserving the material’s quality and performance.

Recycled polyester

Bulk dyeing or “dope dyeing” incorporates the pigments during the thread manufacture. This technique reduces the environmental impact compared to standard dyeing, which takes place once the thread forms a fabric and involves more water consumption and pollution. 
Our MH 120 black and grey fleece models use the dope dyeing process, and we’re working to develop it for other colours.

Dope dyeing

The fabric’s texture and brushed knit traps air.
This air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.Lab-tested for comfort at temperatures from 7°C to 10°C without an additional jacket.

Fleece material: insulates with air

Our hiking fleeces are tested to guarantee durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to pilling caused by contact with backpacks and arm movements
- seam strength
- resistance after several washes
- colourfastness after washing or exposure to UV light or perspiration

Guaranteed lifespan of two years
