We renewed our wool fleece jacket pretty thoroughly and made male and female versions, this being the female one. You can of course wear whichever fits you the best. We increased the amount of wool and reduced the amount of plastic even more. We also moved the production away from China to a lot closer in Europe, which is pretty awesome. This warm and fuzzy wool fleece works as an outer layer when it is a bit warmer and as a mid-layer when it is colder.
This has a smaller zippered pocket on one sleeve and two larger pockets on the sides. The right one of those has a cord grommet so you can isolate yourself from the annoying world with black metal. The sleeve with the pocket also has a slot for hook & loop patches.
Regular fleece would otherwise be quite nice but the plastics in it suck ass. That kind of garment can melt if you are really unlucky by the campfire, and the microplastics eventually poison everything. That’s why we reduced the synthetic content already in the previous version, and now we went even further. The established benefits of fleece jackets are retained, so this jacket works as a warm mid-layer underneath a shell jacket or by itself in mild conditions. When it's cold as hell, you could just cocoon yourself in a combination of this fleece and a Windproof Parka. In theory, these items could be everything a human would need to cover the upper body. When the sky falls on top of you, Särmä Hardshell jacket is a solid choice.
We moved the production from China to Lithuania in Europe. This change brings more transparency, which is a very good thing. The downside is the more expensive price.
