Särmä TST L3 Loft Jacket

A very lightweight and breathable loft jacket with Climashield insulation. Packable enough to fit right in your pants' cargo pocket. Designed for use as an insulating mid-layer under your regular field jacket, can also be used as an outer layer during static breaks or other light activities.

• Relaxed fit, sized for wear over base/mid layers
• Breathable and quick drying
• Elastic cuffs and adjustable collar and hem
• Long hem at the back
• Articulated elbows
• Zippered breast pocket
• Weight, Medium: 405 g (0.9 lbs)
• Rolled size, Medium: 10 x 20 cm (4" x 8")

The L3 is primarily designed for wear as an insulating layer under your field jacket but also functions when donned over your other clothing as a quick means for extra warmth when pausing for a break in cold weather. Thus the simple design, very low profile, and one single breast pocket on the left-hand side, easily accessed after opening the front zipper of any jacket worn over the L3. The construction and insulating properties are comparable to a modern lightweight summer sleeping bag.

L3 - Insulation layer

The third layer of the Varusteleka clothing system, designed to be worn over a base layer of merino wool and under a field uniform or other outer shell. L3 garments come in two styles, unlined wind wear and lofty thermal wear with Climashield insulation. Lightweight, quick-drying, and highly breathable fabrics guarantee effective moisture management and great packability.

Pro-Tip: The L3 is also a clever choice if you want to extend the temperature range of a lightweight sleeping bag; just use it as a thermal pyjama! The materials and construction really serve this option.
