Zip open the legs, open the fly and just layer up over your regular clothing and you're ready to relax in toasty, insulated warmth! Since low activity usually involves some sort of static activity (usually sitting or lying down) the seat, knees, and shins are reinforced with 500D Cordura to protect the other lightweight materials from abrasion. Full-length side leg zippers offer access to your pockets and gear. You can even pop out a pistol holster through the thermal trousers by opening the top of the leg zipper!

Although the design is focused at layering over all your other gear, the L5 Thermal Trousers can also be used as stand-alone outer layer trousers. The two thigh pockets are no full-sized pleated cargo pockets but offer enough room to store some essential items. The leg and fly zippers offer ventilation to help manage your thermal load during high activity levels.

The cuffs are designed to be tight and secure, with a sewn-in piece of elastic webbing. The fit is designed for wear over regular combat boots, when worn this way the tight elastic will keep the cuffs in place and snow outside. When worn with thicker, insulated winter boots the legs are best worn inside the boot shaft.

L5 - Thermal Shell

The fifth layer of the Särmä TST Clothing System is designed for quick layering over your field wear, or for wear as a stand-alone cold weather uniform. Generous ventilation zippers minimize the thermal load of the layer, allowing the wearer added comfort. Camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR compliant.

Sizing

Sized according to recommended user height and waist circumference. The fit is generous to allow the trousers to be layered on top of warm mid-layers and even regular field trousers.

The inbuilt adjustable G-hook belt allows you to adjust the waist to fit exactly as tight as you want it.

Material

98% polyamide / 2% carbon fiber Ripstop, weight 75 g/m² (2.2 oz/yd²). Lightweight and breathable, a solid fabric choice for this type of winter overwhites.

Climashield Apex insulation, 100 g/m² (2.9 oz/yd²). This is some of the best insulation there is, fantastic weight-to-insulation ratio, and great performance even in wet conditions. Apex is a continuous fiber filament, this means it does not need any attaching stitching as you would find on common polyester or down loft garments. By eliminating these stitches we also eliminate possible cold spots, further adding to the insulating properties of the garment.

Sewn in Estonia

These are sewn in Estonia, by an experienced factory that has a long history of producing clothing for military, law enforcement and emergency services.
