Särmä Merino Fingerless Gloves
13.99 USD
A pair of fingerless gloves. In addition to the timeless hobo impression, fingerless gloves leave your fingertips free for all kinds of fiddling and work pretty well as glove liners. These are better than most, being made of Merino wool in a strange place called Tampere just north of here.
Särmä Merino Wool Hoodie
131.99 USD
This is the best merino wool hoodie on Earth for all people with an active lifestyle! Wear it as a mid-layer – or as it is during or after intense movement. The hoodie is made from thickish Merino wool, which is probably the best fabric ever. The cut is also designed properly to a tee. Merino wool doesn’t itch, and it is warm in chilly weather and cool in warm.
Särmä Commando Cap, Merino Wool
23.99 USD

Going out although there's a good chance of wind and rain? For these occasions, a softshell jacket is an invaluable addition to your wardrobe, as it is windproof, water resistant, quite breathable, and dries quite quickly. And this is indeed just a shell, so the useful temperature range is extensive – you can use layers as you see fit.
Kuivalihakundi Beef Jerky, 150 g
12.99 USD
Probably the best beef jerky we've sunk our teeth in. Moreover, it comes in bigger 150 g portions and is made entirely in Finland, from Finnish beef, and contains no suspicious additives - an honest meat product through and through.
Finnish Canteen, 1 l
7.99 USD
Finnish Army current model canteen. A very practical water bottle with a large opening and a metal hook for carrying without a pouch. You know this piece of kit is pretty good because the soldiers don't complain about it.
Särmä Windproof Fishtail Parka
105.99 USD
There are many Fishtail Parkas but this one is ours. Standing on the shoulders of the US M51 Parka, we developed our own version and made some improvements. Fits quite nicely and comes with a warm liner. It's a highly requested model, so it had to be done.

Särmä Hobo Stove
35.99 - 43.99 USD
