Durable cargo shorts for military use with a functional cut, sturdy details, and NIR-compatible camouflage patterns. Finally also available in MultiCam! If you want to buy just one pair of tactical shorts and you want them to be made in Europe, here’s a great alternative.
Or would you like a pair of non-camo shorts without the NIR stuff? We have those, too.
Features
As the name might indicate, these are heavily influenced by our popular Field Pant; our improved version of the pants used by the Finnish Army. The tough ripstop fabric, strong seams, and action-friendly cut ensure you can use these in all warm-weather military activities.
The shorts come with a high-quality Kroko-zippered fly. Furthermore, there is a Canadian-style slotted button at the top, which is not fastened with a few flimsy stitches but a tougher fabric band. They also feature a diamond gusset crotch that enables you to perform more ninjaesque moves without ripping your bum.
Six pockets
Thanks to numerous pockets, you won’t easly run out of cargo space. These shorts have two spacious front pockets that feature extra pockets for keys, the cell phone, etc. Moreover, they have large cargo pockets with a velcro & button closure. The buttons are covered to prevent them from grabbing onto things in fast-paced action.
Secure waist adjustment
If you like to haul heavy stuff on your belt or pockets or prefer shorts that won’t hang halfway down your butt, these are a solid choice. The 40 mm (1.6") wide elastic adjustment will ensure a more snug fit than a thin rubber band. It is easily detachable for washing or replacing. Washing is the main enemy of elastic bands, so easy removal prolongs the service life a lot.
Furthermore, the shorts feature belt loops for a max. 45 mm (1.75") belt, so you can use either adjustment option or both if you want to carry more stuff without shorts sagging.
NIR-compliant materials
Camouflage prints and visible accessories of both patterns are 100% NIR-compliant. If you wish to ensure that the NIR-compliant properties of the camouflage print are not diminished, we recommend being very careful when using common detergents. All-natural stuff without any optic brighteners should be safe.
Materials
These shorts are made from tough ripstop-reinforced fabric. The M05 woodland fabric is made from 50% cotton and 50% polyamide, weight 225 g/m2. The MultiCam is 48% polyamide, 48% cotton, and 4% XLA (elastane), weight 219g/m2. Elastane in the MultiCam fabric makes it a bit stretchy. The m05 fabric is a bit heavier. Both are very good for active use. The ripstop reinforcement prevents the small cuts and holes in the fabric from tearing further.
Size info
In the menu, you’ll see the recommended waist measurement and will easily be able to pick the suitable pair based on that. This isn’t precision engineering; thanks to the elastic underbelt, you can easily tighten the waist if it is too loose.
Made in Europe
These are made in the EU in Poland. They are manufactured by Unifeq, a company that makes high-quality clothing and gear for numerous European military forces and law enforcement agencies. European production is more expensive than Asian one, but it has many benefits, such as the security of supply, faster deliveries, lower transportation emissions, and more transparent and ethical production.

Kokoapuri suositteli kokoa XL mutta koko L oli vyötäröltä jopa väljä.
Pöksyt olleet jalassa vasta tunteja, mutta on samaa vankkaa Särmä-laatua kuten asiaan kuuluukin.
Lahje olisi saanut olla muutaman sentin pidempi, mutta nää on makuasioita.
Nyt kesän pitänyt sortseja ns mökkisortseina ja pöksyt olleet kovassa käytössä.
Nämä on ylivoimaisesti parhaat sortsit mitä olen omistanut. Nyt ei enää lahkeen pituus ärsytä vaan se on kuumilla ilmoilla erittäin oikean mittainen. Tarkoitan tällä sitä, että kun hikiset pöksyt ja hikinen reisi kohtaavat vaikka kyykkyyn mennessä, pidempi lahje jumittaisi, tämä lahkeen pituus ei.
Vertaan näitä TAD-sortseihin joita olen pitänyt vuosia.
Nekin on hyvät, mutta liikkuvuuden kannalta Särmä on omaa luokkaansa. Taskuista ja niiden sijoittelusta voidaan kinastella loputtomiin, mutta en löydä hakemallakaan valittamista omiin tarpeisiini.

Large sopi heti paketista asti oikein hyvin eikä tarvinnut säätää mitään. Loistava tuntuma,sopivan rennot ja maastohousumaiset.
Kovasta hinnasta miinusta sen puoli pistettä.

Hi John,
Yes, that is for Finnish summer. You'll need all four layers to survive it.
