Insulation garments worn during static pauses and breaks in cold weather need to be easy and quick to don and doff, otherwise they might not be used at all. The L5 Thermal Anorak is designed for easy layering over all your regular clothing and gear, including helmet and body armor.

• Hook & loop adjustable cuffs (elastic in the retiring version)
• Large access zipper on the chest
• Weight: 750 g / 26 oz. (Medium)
• Materials:
  • Outer fabric: 100% Polyamide ripstop, 70g/m², 70D, nonfluorinated water-repellent finish (retiring version 98% polyamide / 2% carbon fiber Ripstop, weight 75 g/m²)
  • Lining: 100% PES

The latest 2023 version has an upgraded fabric material, 2-way underarm ventilation zippers, and the cuffs are now adjusted by hook & loop tabs. The retiring versions are marked so in the size listing.

Skip the hassle of doffing your helmet, body armor, and load-bearing vest to put on your insulated jacket and then re-donning all the gear you just removed and then reversing the whole process in a moment when your short break is at its end. Just pull the L5 Thermal Anorak over all your gear and clothing and you´re ready to relax! Zippers on the chest and under the arms allow access to your pockets and gear without removing the anorak.

Although the design is focused at layering over all your other gear the L5 Thermal Anorak can also be used as a regular jacket under your load-bearing equipment. The underarm ventilation zippers help with thermal load management during high activity levels and they also offer a way to access upper arm pockets on jackets possibly worn under the anorak.

The lightweight materials and simplistic construction keep weight and bulk at a moderate level, especially when taking into account the large surface area of the over-sized anorak. The roomy cut (as well as the Climashield insulation of course) provides additional insulation. With the collar zipped up and hood and hem cinched the result is a very safe and cozy place where neither wind nor cold will bother you.

The fifth layer of the Särmä TST Clothing System is design for quick layering over your field wear, or for wear as a stand-alone cold weather uniform. Generous ventilation zippers minimize the thermal load of the layer, allowing the wearer added comfort. Camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR-compliant.
