We have a new manufacturer, and we put in some new features: 2-way side zippers, lower waist on the front, looser elastic cuffs on pant legs. The hook and loop panels on the crotch have been reversed. The outer material is also heavier and more sturdy. The older version is still in size Small Regular (M05).

The L3 is primarily designed for wear as an insulating layer under your field pants but they can also be worn over your regular clothing as a quick means for extra warmth when pausing for a break in cold weather. Thus the simple design, very low profile, and no pockets at all. The construction and insulating properties are comparable to a modern lightweight summer sleeping bag.

The full-length side zippers offer fast and easy layering when you need it, without having to remove boots or even your field pants. Just pull down your pants to your ankles, put the L3 Loft Pants (with size zippers completely opened) in place and zip both legs shut from top to bottom. Now just pull up your field pants and you´re done! The new version has 2-way zippers.

L3 - Insulation layer

The third layer of the Särmä TST clothing system, designed to be worn over a base layer of merino wool and under a field uniform or other outer shell. L3 garments come in two styles, unlined wind wear and lofty thermal wear with Climashield insulation. Lightweight, quick-drying, and highly breathable fabrics guarantee effective moisture management and great packability.

Take a look at our Särmä TST Clothing System!

Pro-Tip: The L3 is also a clever choice if you want to extend the temperature range of a lightweight sleeping bag, just use it as a thermal pajama!

183cm's tall and weighing 92kg's i went with a L and it fit perfect. Tried this on and there was an immediate feeling of warmth. Yet to try them in the field though. Quality feels great. Good zippers, im a bit worried about the velcro in the crotch but hopefully it holds up. I wish this item had an integrated pocket so i could stuff it into it self for ease of "packaging". Will return with an update once it has been field tested.

Great lightweight insulation layer that packs nicely. I got caught with my truck heater going down while at a training exercise in interior Alaska and had this in my ruck. It kept my legs warm in temps well below freezing and wind gusting at 30+mph combined with only my silkweight baselayer and trousers. I'll keep it in my ruck wherever I go. The medium fits me perfectly at 6'1" 170lbs, muscular build. If you want to be able to wear this over the top of your trousers, definitely size up.
