The Särmä TST L6 Hardshell jacket and pants were designed as an alternative to the Finnish standard-issue rudimentary non-breathable rainwear. Ventilation zippers offer added comfort, and four basic pockets keep your necessary belongings organized and easily accessed.
Ventilation - the key to comfort
Anybody who has worn hardshell knows that no matter what retailers say, it is never as breathable as "normal" clothing, that is the truth. But, the important thing is ventilation! Do it and do it right for maximum comfort.
Start off by opening the armpit zips, these will really help cool you down a bit. If that is not enough, loosen the waist draw cord and sleeve cuffs to let air run through the jacket. Need more ventilation? Well just open up the front zipper from the top or bottom or both and you are as ventilated as you can be! And when your activity level drops, just zip up and tighten everything down again.
The sixth level of the Särmä TST Clothing System is designed for layering over your fieldwear for temporary rain protection. Or you can wear it as a waterproof uniform on its own. Generous ventilation zippers minimize the thermal load of the layer, allowing added comfort. Camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR-compliant.

The latest version with 2-way ventilation zippers is made in Poland by Unifeq.
