Design update 2024

Särmä Merino Wool Hoodie jumps under the Varusteleka brand. At the same time, the design, measurements, materials, and manufacturer change. The first in line is the Petrol-colored Varusteleka Merino Wool Hoodie. The other colors will follow later. The essential changes are found in the bulleted list below. More detailed info plus the size chart you’ll find in the drop-down menus above.

  • New size chart (check out the recommended measurements
  • The fabric has even more merino wool, and it is slightly thinner but still more durable due to the polyester that’s added to the mix
  • The cuff reinforcements have been left out due to the more abrasion-resistant fabric
  • New hoodies are made by Utenos instead of Omniteksas, but they are still made in Lithuania in the EU

Looks good, ideal for an active lifestyle

Slim hourglass fit with a long hem. Quality zipper on the front, with a flap on the backside to prevent it from making contact with the skin if you're not wearing anything under this. The collar is so high when zipped up that you really don't need a scarf or a neck tube. The hood has a drawcord adjustment. Thumbholes on the sleeve cuffs. If you don’t use them, roll up the sleeves or if you have long arms, take the Regular-sized one instead of the Long.

The fabric is stretchy, so this hoodie won’t restrict your ninja moves in any way. The hem is long, and thanks to the snug fit, the hoodie also works as a warm mid-layer under a windproof jacket.

Smart set of pockets

The hoodie has two handwarmer pockets (volume about one wine bottle each) and a kangaroo pocket on the back that can be accessed from either side, a good place for storing gloves and other accessories. On the left sleeve, you'll find a zippered pocket, roomy enough for most modern smartphones. You could probably fit a nice assortment of combat gear in the pockets, and leave your chest rig at home.

As is customary these days, the sleeve pocket is covered with a loop panel. This means you can slap on a morale or other important patch of your choice. A good civilian choice is a reflector tab.

Use

Our Merino Wool Hoodie will keep you warm outdoors but won't get sweaty indoors either. It works well as a mid-layer, but it can also be worn on its own during or after intense movement and in the summertime. When wet, it won’t feel clammy or cold like synthetics or cotton do. Merino wool is a lot finer than regular wool, so it won’t itch even if you have sensitive skin. It is one of the nicest materials you can rub on your skin.

Made in the EU

The petrol hoodie is made in Lithuania by Utenos. The other colors are made in Lithuania by Omniteksas.

Also available as a buttoned version

I am not sure if this really is the best hoodie out there but it will do until something better comes along. Super comfortable, breaths, fits great, and very practical. This is so much better than a regular sweatshirt cotton fleece hoodie and far better than a synthetic fleece hoodie. The merino wool is just the best. The green color works for me, it looks nice. The fabric seeks like it will be very warm for the weight but being merino is good in warmer weather also. Got this in summer so no chance to use it in colder weather yet. Given the fabric is sort of a middle weight it should be excellent. Personally do not care for the velcro, it catches stuff in the woods, but velcro is thing now I guess. The only thing I would ask to add is a chest pocket that holds a phone. Seems like the fabric would support it well. Otherwise this is a home run. Looking forward to having it a very long time. Thanks

I am very happy to get the "new/updated" version in petrol colour. The colour is really wonderful, maybe a bit more "greenish"-looking than in the photos, not as much blue and somewhat darker. It is a very cool and perfect piece of garment. Quality and stiching is out of the question. The new material (once I had the "old" version, but I had to send it back due to fitting/size problems) is, in my opinion, much better over the older one. It has a nicer feel (softer) and is surely lighter and more flexible than the old one. The fit is now perfect for me (186 cm, 78 kg), with the medium long version, which reaches way over the lower back. The medium regular would have been also o.k. The large long I had was just too big, overall. I am sure I will wear this very often in autumn as an outer softshell and in winter time as a mid layer. The hood is also very good, as well as the pockets. The zipper goes high up, so it will be warm around the neck. The material is very stretchy. It is surely the best Merino hoodie out there!
