Särmä Women's Cargo Trousers

Here's more for the ladies: modernized BDU-style cargo trousers with a female-friendly cut and smart features!

• Your standard handy cargo pants
• Button fly & high waist
• 65/35 % polycotton ripstop

We are known for a really good selection of new and surplus trousers for men and a lot of women use them as well. Previously the lady-specific models we've sold have been very fashionable, which in reality means lacking in quality and features. The size ranges have also been quite small, which is a message we don't want to send. Time to put an end to that.

As any good combat trousers should, the Särmä women's cargo trousers are tough, comfortable to wear and have well thought features for everyday use. We gathered input from our female customers and these reflect the feedback: the waist-hip-ratio is altered for curves, the overall fit is less "battle baggy" and more "close to form but not tight". The waist is high enough to reach above the hip. It's not intended to follow any trend of really high or low waists.

The changes are not dramatic compared to our unisex model: nothing should stop a man from wearing these, if you like the features and can get used to the mirrored fly.

Updated features

We believe the original BDU trousers were really good to begin with, so we tried to keep the general looks and good features, but added some things because there's always room for a little something.

details

• Button fly - simple and proven
• Elastic waist adjustment with velcro tabs - flat, comfortable, non-metallic
• Double crotch gusset that eliminates the inseam - no chafing
• Reinforced stitching at critical spots: belt loops, pocket flaps etc.
• Extension-friendly hems (add 2,5 cm / 1") with hidden adjustment cord
• The knee reinforcements accept knee pad inserts, we recommend the CPE elbow/knee pad inserts.
• 5 cm belt loops, carabiner friendly at the sides

pockets

• Roomy slash pockets in the front with a high opening
• Zippered security pocket sandwiched with right slash pocket
• Decently sized cargo pockets w. pleats and velcro flaps (fits A5 sized items)
• Flat back pockets with velcro flaps to complement the hump

Size info

The menu has simple sizing and European standard. We have sort of designed these for regular height women (160-170 cm), but the leg has some extra on it; you can either fold the cuff or tie it up, or wear it as is in case you're taller. Below is a table with measurements of the garment itself. You can convert centimetres to inches with our handy conversion tool, or just divide by 2,54.

All sizes have an 80 cm (31,5") inseam. The drawcord at the hem exits from gaps in the seam, so you can extend the leg by 2,5 cm (1") without leaving holes in the fabric.

Note! The hip area on the green trousers is about 3 cm wider than on the black ones. This will be reality with black trousers too when we get the next lot. The thigh is also a tiny bit wider on the green ones. As the changes apply, there will be just one hip measurement shown, which applies to all colours.

At the time of writing this, sizes Small, Medium and 2X-Large have the same, updated measurements, for all colours.

Material and care

Made from Ripstop-reinforced 35/65% poly-cotton. Fairly light and breathable, but not so "tropical" that you would immediately freeze in cold weather.

Machine wash at 30° Celcius.
