Särmä Outdoor jacket

The Särmä Outdoor Jacket is made for use in somewhat rougher climates and terrain but is comfortable and subdued enough for casual street use. For sunny hikes on easy trails consider something else, as this is made from a strong canvas to take a beating without a flinch.

• Almost all-weather general purpose canvas jacket
• Designed first and foremost to be functional
• Key features hood, high collar, front zipper closure
• Pick one size larger if you want a lot of room for several warm layers

The question is, can a canvas jacket be comfortable to wear on the move, and does it breathe? The answer to both is a resounding "YES!". Thanks to the articulated elbows, ventilation in the front and back, and stretchy underarm gussets, this jacket won’t hold you back.

Breathability and mobility are further improved by the 4-way stretch material we used at the armpits. You can think of the main material as an armor plate and the soft stretchy stuff is the mail armor.

The cut is unisex, we have hit the sweet spot of female and male anatomies. Try it on if you don't believe us!

Practical and comfy features

We designed the Outdoor Jacket to look good, but only after getting the cut and details where we wanted to. The pockets are not numerous, but much smarter. Here’s a list of the nice things:

Cut and details

• YKK zipper with storm flap closed by snap-fasteners
• Articulated elbows
• Stretchy armpit gussets
• Adjustable hood with elastic draw cords
• Elastic adjustment cord at the hem
• Snap-fastener adjustment tabs at the cuffs
• Ventilation in the upper back

Pockets

• Zippered chest pockets / vents with mesh lining
• Large cargo pockets with bellows and folding mouth
• Hidden cell phone pocket with headset cord passage

Material and care

The primary material is a durable 65/35% poly-cotton canvas, which is a type you might find on bags and such.

Secondary material: 4-way stretch 92/8 % polyester-elastane. Very breathable and comfortable.

Lining: 100% polyester mesh, we chose a very strong type for this jacket, but carry sharp items elsewhere.

Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. Close all zippers and snap-fasteners before machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius (104 F).

Size info

We have listed first the easy size, then the user's recommended measurements: user height/chest circumference in centimeters. These have a straight cut, so if you want to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up. If you are at the limit between two sizes, rounding up is safe.

Below are the actual chest width (laid flat) and sleeve length from the shoulder seam. The waist is a bit smaller than the chest to achieve a regular fit, but this difference is reduced with larger sizes; 2XL is cut almost straight.

* Measured from the hood lower edge to hem.

Made in China

There's good quality to be found in the PRC, as long as you don't choose the lowest bidder.
