The North Face Women's Devah Shorts

The high-performance Devah mountain bike shorts from The North Face are made for women who love to rip down the trails.

Rugged nylon outer shorts offer plenty of breathability for high-energy riding. The Durable Water Repellent finish causes water to bead up and roll off, fending off light rain showers and snow. Interior liner briefs feature a blend of recycled polyester, polyester and 4-way-stretch elastane; fabric blend wicks moisture away for cool, dry comfort. With women-specific, plush microfiber chamois pressure points are relieved for all-day comfort in the saddle; special fibers discourage odors and heat buildup. The adjustable contoured waistband and seamless crotch panel offer excellent comfort. Includes a sunglass wipe in right hand pocket that's ready when you need it and a zippered security pocket to stow small essentials. The North Face Devah shorts feature reinforced stitching throughout stress zones to stand up to hard riding and the fabric provides UPF 30 sun protection, shielding skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.

The bluesign® standard The bluesign® standard brings together the entire textile manufacturing supply chain to jointly reduce the ecological footprint of the apparel production process. Instead of focusing on finished product testing, the bluesign® standard analyzes all input streams – from raw materials and chemical components to resources – with a sophisticated “Input Stream Management” process. Prior to production, components are assessed based on their eco-toxicological impact and risk. Potentially harmful substances can hence be eliminated before production even begins. The bluesign® standard addresses consumers’ growing desire for quality products that also meet the highest criteria regarding sustainability. Due to its holistic and systematic approach, the bluesign® standard ensures that components and procedures used along the supply chain are as harmless to human beings and the environment as possible. Products made according the bluesign® standard thus meet the highest standards of consumer protection, resource efficiency, and worker health and safety.
