The L3 Wind Jacket is an easy choice to bring along anywhere, anytime. Packs small enough to fit in your pants’ cargo pocket and is versatile enough to serve a purpose in just about any weather. As a mid-layer it offers added insulation without preventing the moisture from lower layers from evaporating.
This jacket can also be used as a stand-alone outer shell jacket but please note that the lightweight fabric is not designed to withstand direct, heavy abrasion. Open flames, crawling over rough terrain, and rucksack hip belts are some common enemies of this type of clothing.
L3 - Insulation layer
The third layer of the Särmä TST 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.

Version update 2023
We updated this jacket in 2023, which primarily affected the materials and the manufacturing country. This text was also updated based on these changes.
Materials
Fabric: 100% Polyamide ripstop, 70g/m2, non-fluorinated water-repellent finish. Very lightweight, quick-drying, and really strong for such a lightweight material. All visible fabrics are unofficially NIR-compliant according to our tests. KROKO zippers.
Sizing
Sized to fit over warm mid-layer clothing, even a fleece. If you never ever want to wear anything but thin, tight undershirts under your wind jacket you can downsize one step from the recommended measurements.

Särmä TST L3 Wind Jacket is true EDC wonder during the milder seasons. It's extremely lightweight and packs into a small space. Quite often the wind is the reason for thermal loss even though the weather might be fairly warm. This little jacket will ensure that you feel comfortable and warm, even though it would be a very windy weather. I have used Särmä TST L3 Wind jacket with Särmä merino wool hoodie and this combination has worked well in fairly cold, windy and rainy conditions. Under the field jacket, Särmä TST L3 Wind jacket works well as mid-layer during the milder seasons via blocking the wind without increasing the thermal load too much. I have used Särmä TST L3 Wind jacket in an urban environment, in the woods, at sea, and in rock festivals and it has performed well in every occasion.

Syysvaelluksella käytin Gorka kolmosen alla, toimi oikein hyvin. Ei kulumisen merkkejä lantiovyön tai olkapäiden kohdillakaan, mutta varmasti syytä vältellä suoraa hankausta. Ehdottomasti jatkossakin vakiovarusteena vaelluksilla ja retkillä.

So just to say that if Varusteleka make the Sarma TST L3 Windjacket and Sarma Merino Wool Hoodie in blue or red I promise to buy them.
I think the Windjacket could be a big hit with civvy walkers, cyclists and runners in the UK if it was available in something other than military green. As you know, the weather is moderate but it changes a lot - a bit cold, a bit wet, a bit windy all in one day, so a Windjacket in the pocket of a wool hoodie would cover everything except midwinter.

Ostin takin muutama vuosi sitten, ja olen takkia käytellyt. Sieltä täältä huonojen ompeleiden vuoksi kangas on alkanut rispaantua, kun niitä ei olla jaksettu/osattu saumata kunnolla. Takista jää halvan B-luokan tuotteen kuva.
