Your friendly army store

We value good service, so when you visit our store, you can be sure to meet a friendly Varusteleka crew member wanting to help.

Dung heap

In Finland we have this thing called "tunkio". A plentiful corner of really cheap products. Usually one-offs or slightly faulty items. This is basically something we can only offer to our walk-in store patrons. Publishing these as products in our web store would be "financially irresponsible".

Accessibility

The entrances, corridors, toilets and parking lot of our store are accessible. The entrance in front of the store is equipped with an elevator. There is also a ramp behind the store for wheelchair access.

K9 OK

We warmly welcome dogs and other pets to our store. Be sure to bring them to Bar Sotima for a drink of water and some treats!

Shop sound system

The music sounds pretty good in our store and we owe big thanks to Genelec speakers for that!
