Measurements and sizing
Sized according to recommended user height and chest circumference. The fit is relaxed enough to allow the jacket to be worn over thick mid-layers and even a regular lightweight field jacket.
By tightening the hem drawcord and cuff hook-and-loop adjusters you get the hem and sleeves to stay right where you want them.
Technical details
Material
The outer fabric is 100% polyamide ripstop, 70g/m2, 70D, nonfluorinated water-repellent finish. The lining is 100% polyester.
Climashield Apex insulation, 100 g/m2 (2.9 oz). This is some of the best insulation there is a fantastic weight-to-insulation ratio and great performance even in wet conditions. Apex is a continuous fiber filament; this means it does not need any attaching stitching as you would find on common polyester or down loft garments. By eliminating these stitches, we also eliminate possible cold spots, further adding to the insulating properties of the garment.

Designed foremost as an active insulation garment for extreme cold weather, the fit and details serve this purpose: upper arm pockets offer accessible storage even when the chest pockets are covered by body armour and load bearing vests. The elbows are reinforced with 500D Cordura, and these reinforcements double up as pad pockets for elbow pad inserts. Underarm ventilation zippers help lessen your thermal load during high activity levels.
The latest version has 2-way underarm ventilation zippers, and the hook & loop panels on the storm flap are reversed (hook on the flap, loop on the chest), which will reduce the possibility of unwanted hook & loop attachment to your cuff etc. The retiring versions are marked so in the size listing.
The L5 Thermal Jacket also functions as a static insulation garment and can be donned over your regular lightweight field uniform. However, unlike the L5 Thermal Anorak this jacket is not designed for wear over armour and load bearing gear.
L5 - Thermal Shell
The fifth layer of the Varusteleka Clothing System is designed 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.

Varusteleka Clothing System
Layered clothing is the key to remaining functional no matter what nature throws at you. Varusteleka produces clothing for the harsh northern climate, where the weather can be your worst enemy if you aren’t appropriately dressed. Combine the layers based on the weather and your activity level.
L1 Base Layer – ideal next-to-skin layer year-round
The first layer of the Varusteleka clothing system is made from a lightweight and moisture-wicking merino wool blend. The material preserves the breathability and warmth of wool while adding the durability needed for tough military missions. It is an ideal next-to-skin layer for year-round use. It helps keep you warm in the wet and freezing temperatures, but also cool in more temperate climates.
L2 Mid Layer – added warmth when the temperature drops
The second layer is perfect for layering in cooler conditions. It wicks moisture forward from the base layer, providing additional thermal insulation. The L2 can also be used as a next-to-skin layer, enhancing the system's flexibility. Our mid-layer is made from a midweight merino wool blend. It has a more relaxed fit, and it is noticeably warmer than the base layer.
L3 Insulation Layer – protection against wind and cold
The third layer is designed to be worn over the base layer and under the field uniform or other outer shell. Our L3 garments are available in two styles: unlined windwear and lofty thermal wear featuring Climashield insulation that provides warmth with minimal bulk. Lightweight, quick-drying, and highly breathable fabrics guarantee effective moisture management and great packability.
L4 Field Wear – the default layer for combat use
The fourth layer can be regarded as the standard combat uniform for harsh field conditions and all seasons. The L4 clothing offers protection against the outside world through camouflage and abrasion resistance. These garments are designed for minimal thermal load for effective layering. The camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR-compliant.
L5 Thermal Shell – Insulation for Arctic conditions
The fifth layer is designed for quick layering over your fieldwear or as a stand-alone cold-weather uniform.It retains body heat in the freezing northern winter weather, and it is easy to throw on top of fieldwear when temperatures drop. Generous ventilation zippers minimize the thermal load, providing added comfort. Camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR-compliant.
L6 Waterproof Shell – protection against rain, snow, and wind
The sixth layer can be layered over your fieldwear for rain protection, or you can wear it as a standalone waterproof uniform.Generous two-way ventilation zippers minimize the thermal load, which helps you regulate your temperature during high-tempo exercises or military missions. Camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR-compliant.
L7 Camouflage Layer – NIR-compliant concealment
The outermost layer provides added camouflage without excessive thermal load and fatigue. It offers visual, NIR, and even some degree of thermal camouflage. Camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR-compliant. This lightweight layer can be worn over other layers or gear.
