Measurements

The first number (6—9) of the three-digit size means the length and the next two (44—60) stand for the width in the European standard men's sizing. This is the official FDF standard.

Length | Length number | User height | User height inches

Short | 6 | 160-170 cm | 5' 3" - 5' 7"

Regular | 7 | 170-180 cm | 5' 7" - 5' 11"

Long | 8 | 180-190 cm | 5' 11" - 6' 3"

X-Long | 9 | 190-200 cm | 6' 3" - 6' 7"

The jackets have a loose cut to fit layers of clothing underneath and to offer unrestricted movement. For a tighter fit, you may consider sizing down, but in any case the elastic waist adjustment is meant to be used: start with at least two open holes visible on both sides.

The fabric will shrink in the first wash, this is accounted for in the cut. If you served in the Finnish army and these new clothes seem a bit larger than the issued ones, this is the reason.

Technical details and instructions

Materials

Fabric Foxa Cooltex 3: 50/50 polyester/cotton (275 g/m2 / 8.1 oz/yd2. Naturally the camo print is totally NIR compliant, so you don't need to fear looking all lit-up when viewed through NVDs. These also have KROKO zippers.

To make sure the fabric does not lose it´s NIR compliant properties, we recommend gentle washing using only detergents that are free of optical brighteners, basically the more natural you get the better.

Official M05 RES approved clothing

M05 RES is the official Finnish Defence Forces inspection and approval system for commercially produced military clothing. A garment that is M05 RES-approved is officially approved for use in the military exercises and other fun activities that the FDF organizes.

The M05 RES system is a small step in the right direction and a huge change in the general attitude of the Finnish military. Whereas ten years ago a simple non-issue dump pouch could get you in trouble, we now have the possibility to create commercial clothing that can be officially approved for use. For us Finns, this is a very, very welcome change and a solid foundation to build on!
