Särmä 3/4 Pants
Three-quarter pants or shorts, whichever way you think about it, strike nicely between shorts and pants. They are out of the way of doing stuff but look sharp when hanging about. You can wear these all summer like it's 1909!

Three-quarter pants or shorts, whichever way you think about it, strike nicely between shorts and pants. They are out of the way of doing stuff but look sharp when hanging about. You can wear these all summer like it's 1909!
Design
The usual pockets as you'd expect, zipper fly and waist adjustment tabs. Articulated knees allow freedom of movement.
- Two front pockets and a mobile device pocket
- Cargo pockets with flaps
- Back pockets with flaps
- All flaps with hooks and loops
- Zipper fly
- Waist adjustment tabs
- Drawcord cuff adjustment
Material and care
Made from 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton (plain weave 210 g/m2): a solid fabric, but comfortable to wear. Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. Machine wash at 40 °C / 104 °F, nothing special.
Sizing
Simple sizing with maximum waist circumference in the brackets. The cut is "so-called formal", so if you're looking for very baggy shorts you can consider a larger size. Remember, you can adjust the shorts about 4 cm (1.6") down from the maximum size.
Please refer to this table for actual measurements. All sizes have a 50 cm (20") inseam.
| Size | Waistband | Waistband in |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 78 cm | 31" |
| Medium | 88 cm | 35" |
| Large | 98 cm | 39" |
| X-Large | 108 cm | 43" |
| 2X-Large | 120.5 cm | 47" |
Made in China
There's a good quality to be found in the PRC, as long as you don't choose the lowest bidder.

- En tiedä kenelle tai minkälaiselle ruumiinrakenteelle nämä on suuniteltu... Normaali oma senttikoko on aivan liian tiukka, pykälää isompi on taas sopiva vyön kanssa jalan liikkuessa tai seistessä, mutta ilman vyötä nämä putoavat jalasta vaikka sivunapit kiristää.
- Autolla ajaessa tai konttorilla istuessa takasauma kairautuu persvakoon.
- Älypuhelin taskun alla olevassa taskussa ei voi pitää mitään istuessa eikä oikein liikkuessakaan.
- Materiaali imee itseensä kaiken nöyhdän.
- Reunimmaiset vyölenkit liian kaukana sepaluksesta.
+ Reisitaskut riittävän tilavat.
+ Älypuhelintaskuun mahtuu isoimmatkin luurit.
+ Vyölenkeistä menee läpi oikeat vyöt.
Nämä ovat paremmat kuin edellinen versio, mutta jään odottelemaan seuraavaan version parannuksia, mutta en pidättele hengitystä odotellessa.

I am comparing them to other military cargo pants (such as Opex Guerilla, Varu cargo pants, Varu's old style of 3/4 shorts, and Brandit urban legend)
The cut is very comfortable and the whole thing feels solid and well made. I'm very happy with the pockets, I was able to carry a bunch of things in them without fear of losing them, and it still felt comfortable (the thigh pockets are the best I've tried so far). I am grateful Varusteleka gave this a zipper fly because I hate the button fly they have on other stuff. The "phone pocket" is at a good size (for my 6'' at least) and prevents damage to the phone when putting on shoes.
I have a few nitpicks:
- tigerstripe looks ultra cool but is realistically too dark for euro forest camo and also too dark for summer hiking (absorbs heat too well). A modern camo version would be good
- hook & loop closures are the most convenient solution I have tried, but are a bit noisy for stalking animals; I think I would rather have snap buttons. They also can snag onto and damage other things (like expensive sweat-wicking t-shirts) in the wash.
- the back pocket flaps bend the wrong way when sitting, resulting in "dog ears"
- the "phone pocket" on the right is not replicated on the left like it is on other Varu trousers (the more pockets the better!)
- In my ideal world, the fabric would be ripstop weave, and there would be pockets to insert knee pads
These are overall the best 3/4 cargo shorts I have tried, and am quite happy with them (Do consider that 3/4 cargo trousers are a lot rarer than full length ones). I am considering buying a second pair because I'm afraid of not finding others as good for some time. 40€ is right on the edge of what I would consider fair for the item.. Which I suppose means Varu priced it well.

Mitoitus on eri, tartee valita kokoa isommat. Lantiolla olevat taskut ovat ahtaat, lantioalueen mitoitus muutenkin kireämpi, ja sen myötä heikompi liikkuvuus eritoten, jos on jotain taskuissa. Miinus siitä, että reisitaskut on laitettu alemmaksi, ja tulevat nyt turhan lähelle polvia (kuten toki myös klassisissa BDU-housuissa). Takapuolen (ja polivien) vahvikkeet puuttuvat. Kännykkätasku on jätetty pois toiselta puolelta.
Toisin kuin pari muuta arvostelijaa, en koe materiaalia hiostavana, vaan pehmeänä ja hiljaisena miellyttävän mikrokuitumaisena. Kangas on 65-35 polyester-puuvillaa, ihan niin kuin noissa muissakin, mutta kudonnaltaan eri ja ilman ripstop-vahvikkeita. Kestävyys jää nähtäväksi. Plussaa kierrätys- ja luomu raaka-aineista.
'Tiger stripe' -kuviointi on Vietnamin sodan aikaiseen (toki kovasti vaihdelleeseen) orginaaliin verrattuna tumma ja vähempikontrastinen, sekä värisävyltään kylmempi. Orginaaliväritys maastouttaisi selvästi paremmin suomalaiseen metsämaastoon, mutta varmaan koettaisiin ihmisten ilmoilla räikeämmäksi.
Ihan käyttökelpoiset ja laadukkaasti omellut housut kuitenkin. Voisi näitä suositellakin, mutta Särmälle riman pitäisi olla korkeammalla.

Leikkaus on ainakin meikäläisen kropalle aivan perseestä, josta ironisesti näitä housujakin saa jatkuvasti kiskoa ulos. Vyötärön pitäisi olla vähintään 5 senttiä korkeemmalla, materiaali on surkea ja taskut (ei reisi) ahtaat.
1 tähden nämä pirulaiset tienaavat kännykkätaskusta.
