Särmä Shorts
Lightweight, practical and comfy polycotton ripstop shorts with an excellent cut. We'd been looking to make good shorts and the solution was simply to take nice military-style pants and cut the leg above the knee! Because we had these made in huge volumes, the end price could be kept very reasonable.

Lightweight, practical and comfy polycotton ripstop shorts with an excellent cut. We'd been looking to make good shorts and the solution was simply to take nice military-style pants and cut the leg above the knee! Because we had these made in huge volumes, the end price could be kept very reasonable.
The manufacturing of this product is moving out of China as part of our Project MEGA. We will not replenish it. A redesigned, made-in-Europe product will replace this one. If you want this product in its current form, it is time to hit that add-to-cart button.
- Your standard handy cargo shorts
- Button fly & high waist
- 65/35% polycotton ripstop
- Button adjustment tabs on both sides for the waist
Features
These have a high waist, at least compared to modern standards. It's just slightly higher at the back. This is welcome news for any gentleman who likes to tuck his shirt in, but also suits the barbarian whose unsightly butt crack would otherwise probably show when sitting.
Cut designed for ease of movement and "just enough" length. Reinforced seat.
Button fly. The belt loops are 50 mm (2"), large enough for combat belts. Button adjustment at the waist.
Pockets
Large, bellowed cargo pockets with velcro closure. The rear of the flap is sewn on the leg to prevent it from getting dog-eared. As a nice bonus, these do not stand out much when empty.
- Standard slash pockets. These are pretty much like in many jeans, slightly more on the front side.
- A "smart phone pocket" on the front.
- Back pockets with velcro closure.
Material
Made of ripstop-reinforced 65/35% polyester/cotton. Light enough to be very airy and comfy, but probably about as strong as bit thicker 100% cotton ripstop.
Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. Wash at 30 degrees Celsius (86 F).
New version has an updated material: 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton.

- erittäin hyvä hinta/laatusuhde (ei paljon kannata alkaa itse alusta lähtien ompelemaan)
- jos sitten jotain sanomista, niin vetoketjujen ystävänä ottaisin mielelläni vetskarin napituksen sijaan
- toisaalta napit saa ommeltua vaikka retkellä (yritäpä samaa vetoketjun kanssa...)
- normaalisti L-kokoisena otin M:n, joka istuu hyvin
- suosittelen, mitä lämpimimmin!
- velcrot raapivat sormet taskuja avattaessa, joten muutin 15mm:n neppari-versioksi

-Taskuja itselle liikaa. Kännipäissäni olen luullut hukanneeni tupakat, mutta ne ovatkin olleet "kännykkä" taskussa, eikä varsinaisessa taskussa.
- Autoa ajaessa perustaskuista on lähes mahdotonta kaivaa esim. Puhelinta (galaxy note 3).
- Kokoni on large regular ja näiden leikkaus puristaa munista. Isommat tuskin pysyisivät jalassa.
- Eivät kuitenkaan ole hinnalla pilatut ja näyttävät ihan hyvältä.
- Reisitaskujen velcrosulku on ollut toistaiseksi ihan jees.
- Vyölenkkejä liian vähän. Oma särmä 50mm kasviparkkivyön "häntä" jää pari senttiä lyhyeksi vyölenkistä ja se lerpattaa ärsyttävästi.
Hinnan puolesta voin suositella!
