Särmä TST L3 Wind Anorak

The expression "worth its weight in gold" comes to mind when you need the Wind Anorak and have it with you, but it's inaccurate because the jacket weighs so little. At any rate, simply pull the anorak out of a small pouch and you'll quickly raise a shield against the misty autumn wind, without forgetting concealment.

• A protective windproof and water-resistant shell
• Quick to don over everything else
• Remarkably light and packable

Minimalistic and functional

The details of the Särmä TST Wind Anorak are only there where your body parts poke out: a two-way adjustable hood with a lid, hook-and-loop tabs on the cuffs and an adjustable elastic hem with mounting points for a crotch strap (optional, DIY). The hood is large enough to fit over a helmet and thanks to the zippered collar, you don't need to doff your helmet to put the Wind Anorak on.

Size info

This garment is very loose to fit easily over everything else; not just the clothes but your plate carrier, pouches and all that jazz.

Sizes Small to Large pack neatly into the General Purpose Pouch Zip S and sizes X-Large to 3X-Large fit better into the General Purpose Pouch Zip M. These are reasonable suggestions: sure, an X-Large Wind Anorak could be folded and tucked into an S-size pouch if you're careful, but would you want to count on it in the field? Similarly, you can opt for the M-size pouch even if you have a Large jacket.

For a "normal jacket" fit, choose at least 1-2 sizes smaller than you normally would. One notch shorter is a good idea, too. Someone who normally wears X-Large Long can use this jacket in size Small Regular over a hoodie with ease!

Material and care

Original fabric: Highly developed carbon-fiber-reinforced ripstop-polyamide, which provides excellent wear resistance and a degree of water-resistance. All visible fabrics of the M05 Camo versions are NIR-compliant. The Ranger Green is unofficially NIR-compliant according to our tests. Machine wash at 60° C / 140° F.

• 98% polyamide
• 2% carbon fiber
• Weight: 75 g/m² (2.2 oz)

The current Typhoon fabric has a PU coating and UNIDYNE XF Series non-fluorinated water repellent finish; it's a waterproof fabric but this is not 100% a rain jacket. Better for the original purpose, however, and packs almost as small.
