These Särmä Outdoor Pants are made for use in somewhat rougher climates and terrain, but are comfortable and subdued enough for casual street use. These are not your regular lightweight pants for sunny hikes on easy trails, but made from a strong canvas to take a beating without a flinch.
A good pair of utility & outdoor trousers
Thick 65/35% polycotton fabric
Elastane in strategic spots
The maximum waist size will stretch about 2 cm (0.8") upwards!
The next question is, are these comfortable to wear on the move and can you slav-squat? The answer to both is a resounding "YES!". Thanks to articulated knees, a crotch gusset and a high-cut backside, these pants won't hold you back.
Breathability and mobility are further improved by a 4-way stretch material we used at the crooks of knees, crotch gusset and below the waistband. You can think of the main material as an armor plate and the soft stretchy stuff is the chain mail.
Practical and comfy features
We designed these to look good, but only after getting the cut and details where we wanted to. The pockets are not numerous, but much smarter: stuff wont’ fall out of the front pockets and the cargo pockets don’t rob space from your thighs. Here’s a list of the nice things:
CUT AND DETAILS
Articulated knees
Stretchy crotch gusset
Reinforced knees and seat
Double reinforced inner cuff
Stretchy waist
Snap-fastener adjustment tabs at the cuffs
Large and strong belt loops fitting belts up to 50 mm / 2"
Loops for hook suspenders
POCKETS
Deep front pockets with high-cut opening
Large cargo pockets with bellows and folding mouth
Zippered mesh vents behind cargo pockets
Cell phone pocket behind right cargo pocket
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. Double fabric layers on the knees and ass.
Secondary material: 4-way stretch 92/8 % polyester-elastane. Very breathable and comfortable.
Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. Close all zippers and snap-fasteners before machine wash in 40° C / 104 F.

Mate, I’m in full Sarma gear today 😉 The cargo trousers (not the outdoor one like yours) and a merino wool polo shirt. I was wearing my windproof smock earlier. Why can’t Fjallraven make their stuff, which is similar quality AND made in Taiwan or Bangladesh to this price range?
Profit margins I bet, this sarma gear is brilliant, best gear I've come across in a long time
There is a significant difference in quality with Fjallraven gear. But I have both, Sarma and Fjallraven. The G-1000 fabric is actually very different, softer but way stronger.
My Sarma trousers ripped on the cargo pocket due a fabric failure, my FJR trousers will probably never do this. BUT the Sarma pair was replaced by the Varusteleka team within nearly 24h from sending the photo of the fault to receiving the replacement at my house. Truly an incredible company that I can only recommend and show support, no doubt!
I agree, great company
The whole range is amazballs to be honest been living in their stuff since they started producing. My wife nicked the windproof smock though
Lol, it's great stuff and amazeballs is a great word
Just got a pair of these on your recommendation. Mentioned to Varusteleka about this video and how it had influenced me and they said that you are a good guy. High praise indeed!
Nice!! Good man Ed
Great review, I wear Fjallraven trousers a lot, and the reason is they are quick drying after getting lashed on. I’ll definitely be getting a pair of the Sarma trousers on the back of this review. Nice one
These are great trousers, I'm wearing these exact ones now , love them, though my belly is straining them a bit
You'd look great on the catwalk Wooly 😁 lol.. All jokes aside Sarma make great gear.. 👍
your right , i should be a model
Man, you are preaching about that trousers. I like your style. Have to try those Sarmas! Be good!
Very good, you won't be disappointed
I have been wearing a pair Varestuleka Särmä trousers / anorak on my weekend of canoeing and camping for about two years now and just ordered a 2nd pair of pants super comfortable strong. I live in Colorado USA and after I bought the Pukko 110 and fell in love with this company. I can’t figure out why good quality gear is so expensive here in the states. So no I just buy from the guys Varestuleka shipping is only $9.95 it’s worth the wait.great review mate cheers from Colorado.
Hi from Ireland, thanks for the comment. Agree , great gear and great prices , so refreshing to see these days when everything is so expensive
A lot of American companies rebrand and resell stuff like this for double or triple the price. I've pretty much stopped buying "american" clothing and gear because most of it is made in Asia and is junk.
That's crazy
Try the Tru Spec Xpedition pants. The Tru Specs and the Sarmas are copies of the Fjallraven Keb. Having tried the keb, I actually like the Tru Specs more (and they're like a quarter of the price). Might have to try these at some point.
Interesting, I'll have a look, cheers
I have Vidda Pro pants from Fjallraven but I like the Tru Spec 24-7 Xpedition a lot more. Amazing trousers for an amazing price.
Lol. I ordered a sarma anorak after your review and I ordered a pair of these sarma pants a week ago, not here yet but I intend for them to do what I use my Fjallraven pants for at 3 times the cost roughly.
Brilliant!! If you leave a review you should mention the channel, it might help
@@RedBranchBushcraft will do mate. I have waxed the anorak lightly, twice. With Fjallraven wax, likely to do the thighs and lower cuffs of the pants when fall rolls around.
I got the wax myself, I'll do a wee video on waxing the jacket
Did it make much difference?
Is it only 'Guys' that like this channel? Please tell me that Females in NI are interested in Bushcraft?
From an elderly irish lass in Johannesburg, SA. Love your channel & I am one of the 'guys' promoting Bushcrafting in Africa. Westernisation has killed this craft. Sadly, most want to live within the money hugger shopping malls, status homes & vehicles etc.
Thank U from an elderly irish lady
My absolute pleasure, my daughter's are both I to it , but then they don't have much choice lol
Sarma tst is good for summer??
i wear them all year round, but i live in ireland, its been raining for 3 weeks
If I wear a regular in Fjallraven would a regular work here? Hard to tell actual inseam from website.
Short is 30 I think, I had to get mine altered as they were to long. I got the changed from a 30 to a 28 , I think regular is 32
If you scroll down on the website there is an option to choose imperial or metric, gives full info there
Hello, came across your channel, checking for the Varestuleka Särmä anorak... loving your content. How would you compare the Varusteleka Särmä outdoor pants tot the " Garphyttan Fixar Trouser"? Which would you prefer?
cheers !!!
They don't!! The outdoor pants are 3 times better than the fixar trousers. I tested the specialist, fixar trousers and the original anorak on my other channel, I had big issues with them all, the varusteleka gear is well made and we'll priced. From what I saw of the garphyttan it's poorly made and way over priced. Have a look at my original channel it's call Ed Wooly's World, "why I don't recommend garphyttan " is the name of the video
@@RedBranchBushcraft oooow! Alright… thanks for the heads up! 👍🏻😎
Lol, sorry man . I was really disappointed by the garphyttan gear, the varusteleka stuff is far better
What about those vs the forclaz pants?
Sorry buddy, I haven't tried the forclaz pants, which model are you talking about and I'll have a look
@@RedBranchBushcraft Forclaz trek 500/ MT500 or even the decathlon Solognac Renfort 520
I've always had issue with sizing from decathlon, crazy European style
Stupid question herę: what color are those? Because on my phone they look neither green nor black. Do does the black fade/gets dirty quickly or the green is darker than I be seen on vt site?
these are the green ones, what ive found is that i wear the green ones so much they are starting to fade ! black shows the dirt more
@@RedBranchBushcraft thanks!
No prob
I've tried these pants and anoraks from Sarma and and all of them failed relatively quick. Decent stuff but nothing wow. Made in China. Yes, it's cheap but quality and confort wise are way below Fjallraven. You just can't compare the two, and this is reflected in the price you are paying for it. If you are playing survival man in the park, dressed up in green, than yes, Sarma is for you.
Thanks buddy
Tried ordering 200 bucks worth of stuff and after trying to enter 3 codes to order this stuff I gave up. Kept kicking it out even with the c.c number, exp date and sec code. Automated systems SUCK
Try again, it's great gear, well worth it
@RedBranchBushcraft evidently they wanted the business bad enough it miraculously got processed finally without a "code".
And people wonder how this CBDC without cash is gonna work out for em.
If anything you have or make, or sell, is in any way shape or form, something not on the "approved" list, or you're not on the "approved" list, it'll never go through.
Crazy
Fjällräven ain't too good, really. It's very hit or miss, where at least the down jackets are good, but range around 450-800 euro, and for that price you might as well go Swazi.
The pants from fjällräven are basically just glorified normal "outdoor" pants, you can get much better pants, or even something like Beretta hunting pants with Gore-Tex and mesh lining for the same price, works great in wintertime as well as autumn/early spring in Sweden.
TL;DR is - don't buy fjällräven anything, hard maybe on jackets. Overall it's just expensive. It's marketing.
This is just my personal take on it, having owned multiple jackets and pants. The general take here in Sweden is that they're just "for people with too much money"
Lol, I've never owned any, I just got a pair of the varusteleka wool pants today, they are really nice, I have a series on winter bushcraft gear coming out, starting with gloves, trousers next I think, some nice ones from Ridgeline and Seeland
Are you binge watching my content? Is it ok? Is there anything you would like to see?
@@RedBranchBushcraft Browsing through the content, and it's pretty good! I like it when there's reviews of weird surplus or whatever that no-one seems to have done, like that Czech sleeping system (which I'm still a bit interested in buying myself).
The accent and the attitude is a big plus! Always a smile and a good laugh, keep up the positive mental attitude!
As for content, I'd love to see some more in-depth real world tests of the surplus stuff, really. Especially now with winter around the corner.. maybe a "buschrafting on a budget, winter edition" could be something? Set a max amount of like, 200-250 euros for "everything". That is, base layer/middle/jackets/boots/sleeping system.
Prove that you can get into the woods without spending a fortune. For the kids, the less fortunate or basic cheapskates like me
I must say that their Vidda Pro or Barents trousers have never failed on me. Not many other outdoor trousers outdid them. It all depends on what you use them for, you call them "normal outdoor" pants, well that's what they are... The more technical trousers you mention can not be compared to a simple outdoor pair of pants. A basic pair of hunting trousers of a known brand are sometimes as expensive or even more than FJR.
I do agree that their casual wear is quite overpriced, but for their outdoor gear you get value for money.
In no way can you compare a FJR Vidda Pro to the Sarma Outdoor version. I know Wooly can't because he has never worn one! 🤣😉🤣😉
Anyone else get bent over by the import tax man?
I got them just after brexit , took 6 months but no extra charges
I'm returning the pair I got. Absolutely loved them but the buttons kept coming undone as they were too weak, and stitching failing around fixings after a month or so of light use. Great design, great materials, very poorly executed. Varusteleka also sold me a neck scarf about half the length depicted on their website, again great material, shame about the bs. I won't buy from them again which is a shame but I can't throw money away
Ah man that sucks ! Imma sorry to hear that. Are they sorting you out ok?
@@RedBranchBushcraft they will refund or replace yes but they don't seem to accept how badly they ripped me off. Shame as they seem like such a good firm at first, circular economy, organic cotton and so on... disappointing
I don't know about these specific pants, but I can assure you that generally their products are very high quality. I don't recall having any problems with any of my särmä products.
I'm the same ET might have been a bad batch or something
As finnish i dont like särmä becouse they are made in china..dont trust the quality of items made in china if i can choose fjällräven or sasta ..
I don't think everything made in china is no good
Id love to own peski anorak, but the price is 5 Times more than saarma. Completely diff range, unatainable to me. Maybe when i change the job. For nów...china IT is
No longer made in china
