About us

Varusteleka (pronounced [Where's the liquor?] and loosely translates to Gear Hammer) is an military and outdoors store from Finland. We have a walk-in store in Helsinki and we serve online customers worldwide . What does this Varusteleka mean? Varusteleka is obviously Finnish and comes from "varuste", which means equipment or gear, and "leka" which means a sledgehammer, or a bottle of booze in slang.

The company was established in 2003 and has become the biggest army store in Europe. Our crew has over 70 professional members, and our turnout in 2022 was 23.13 Million €.

Not only do we have thousands of interesting items, but we spend a lot of time of describing them accurately. As a natural result of having experience with this stuff and a mission to do things right, we created our own brands.

Customers will be attended to even after the purchase, that's how good our service is. We take pride in our skill and experience: you will have hard time finding a better military gear store than Varusteleka.
