Ventilation - the key to comfort

Anybody who has worn a 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 side leg zippers from the top, these will really help cool you down a bit. If that is not enough open the fly zipper to let the air flow through the thighs and crotch. And when your activity level drops just zip up again!

L6 - Waterproof Shell

The sixth level of the Varusteleka 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.
