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.

L6 - Waterproof Shell

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.

Very good Hardshell jacket! I was very impressed how small it can be packed. Its very durable, I use it on long hikes in 3 seasons, you can use it without beeing boiled inside in the summer too since its very breathable and the ventilation is great. I just use a Arc'ter*x Beta SL in summer because its packed even smaller and lighter. However its fairly thin and the material can be easily damaged by something like spiky branches, shoulderstraps of heavy hikingpacks etc. (summer=lighter backpack, which don't damage the material on the shoulders). But the Särmä TST L6 Hardshell jacket takes rough handling and conditions very well. Used it on many hikes (around 200-250km-trails with a 15-27kg backpack, depending on route and season) but it never failed me! On rainy days I wear it while playing Airsoft (use M05 kit, excellent camo for woodland areas) and the jacket don't show signs of wear or tear. After hiking trough heavy rain and/or snow for hours, you will be still bone dry like my wife (of course with the right layers underneath, which will increase the comfort a lot - you have to love the TST layer set since stuff on this level of performance will cost you double if you buy "3-layer-****tex-civil-hiking-hardshell-stuff"). You want a very reliable 3-layer Hardshell? This is the right choice, even if its a little expensive and not super light-weight its worth it. Tested arround a dozen jackets and ponchos from different "good"/expensive companys, till I bought this beauty :)

This is the best rain-protection I've ever had. This material keeps you dry in the worst scenarios and protects you against everything out there. I was concerned about the price of this jacket (and the pants) at first, since I expected it to be similar to the German Bundeswehr Nasseschutz. This stuff plays a completely different league and is worth the money. It doesn't matter what happens out there, you'll stay dry and warm. Not lightweight, but highest quality and durability.

I have the new version with the other fabric and im not shure if it was spayed with DWR from the factory and i was soaking wet after 2hours of very heavy rain. Edit : would not recommend , Is not that watherproof( was soaking wet after only half an hour of really heavy rain and no i dont have damaged it ) and for this price you can expect more. The fabric is soaking up water like a sponge even after spraing it with an dwr and also the thing to hang the jacket on the wall is about to tear off after only a few weeks of use.
