Shorts for action-packed adventures
These shorts have been influenced by the design and functionality of Särmä Outdoor Pants, so they don’t just look good, they also work. These have stretchy fabric at the crotch, pockets, and backside. You can easily crouch down and raise your legs without a problem.
A high-quality YKK zipper on the fly plus two snap fasteners. Spacious side pockets plus cargo pockets on the front for e.g. a map. No back pockets. The waist is comfortably high at the back, so you can bend over as much as you want without revealing too much and getting mosquito bites on your behind. These come with belt loops for a max. 5 cm (2") belt and a hook and loop adjustable elastic waist.
Size info
The measurements differ to some extent from Särmä Shorts. So, don’t buy them based on an old pair of those. Instead, check some key measurements in the charts below. Not that these are the actual measurements of the garment, not the recommended user measurements. The front rise is measured to the stretch fabric (crotch).
When guesstimating a suitable leg end girth, choosing a bit tight fit is unlikely to cause problems, as part of the circumference is elastic.

Materials
The primary material of these shorts is 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This combination makes it a tad stretchy and very comfortable. Polyester is made of recycled plastic bottles and cotton is organic. Secondary material: 4-way stretch 92/8 percent polyester-elastane. Very breathable and comfortable.
Manufactured in China
We are moving our production out of China as part of our Project MEGA. A redesigned, made-in-Europe product will replace this one.

If you are a semi fat orangutang shaped person like me, the sizes may not be optimal for you (like almost any other clothing for that matter). The 2xl is way too big and the xl's are too tight for my thighs.
But if you are a normal sized human being there will be no problem at all. I imagine that these shorts are the best you can get for the prize so go ahead and buy some.

Sizing wise, I am right on the edge between a medium and large (88cm waist), and went with the large. A loose fit for sure, but not falling down and don't need a belt.
Very pleased with purchase. These shorts have rendered a bunch of my other BDU style cargo shorts obsolete.

It still fits, but not as comfortably as I had hoped. It's also sad that there is no green color available.
Edit: I suspect I might have actually been sent a pair of Women's shorts. There're no labels to denote the actual item, so I can't be certain, but the design differs too much from the pictures of the outdoor shorts. Too bad.
