Ventilation - the key to comfort
Anybody who has worn hardshell knows that no matter what retailers say, it is never as breathable as "normal" clothing, that is the truth. But, the important thing is ventilation! Do it and do it right for maximum comfort.
Start off by opening the armpit zips, these will really help cool you down a bit. If that is not enough, loosen the waist draw cord and sleeve cuffs to let air run through the jacket. Need more ventilation? Well just open up the front zipper from the top or bottom or both and you are as ventilated as you can be! And when your activity level drops, just zip up and tighten everything down again.
L6 - Waterproof Shell
The sixth level of the Särmä TST Clothing System is designed for layering over your fieldwear for temporary rain protection. Or you can wear it as a waterproof uniform on its own. Generous ventilation zippers minimize the thermal load of the layer, allowing added comfort. Camouflage prints and visible accessories are 100% NIR-compliant.
Take a look at our Särmä TST Clothing System!
Sizing
The measurements in brackets are the recommended user height and chest circumference. The cut is slightly oversized to accommodate warm mid-layer clothing.
Materials
Bonded 3-layer shell fabric, 79% Polyester, 18% Polyurethane, 3% Elastane; weight 195g/m2. Waterproof at least up to 10000 mm, and the fabric also has a DWR water repellent treatment. Zippers are from Kroko – they also make zippers for e.g. the Savotta Keikka duffel bags.
Care and maintenance
It is absolutely super-important to take good care of your hardshell clothing. The whole point in a three-layer membrane fabric is that the top layer has to stay dry in order for the membrane to transport moisture. When the top layer gets dirty or wet, the membrane will no longer breathe and if you then add pressure, water will eventually come through the fabric.
So, after use always wipe off any dirt with a simple wet towel. When you notice that the fabric is starting to lose its water repellency, use DWR spray to breathe some new life into it. Washing with special detergents designed for hardshell clothing is also an option. Remember: nothing lasts forever, but everything lasts longer if you take good care of it!
Sewn in the EU
The latest version with 2-way ventilation zippers is made in Poland by Unifeq.

Leikkaukset ovat erinomaiset. Ei ahdista, ei kiristä. Hupun leukasuoja nousee aika korkealle, mutta ei sitä tartte tappiin vetääkään aina. Muotoiltava huppulippa on tosi jees. Pusakkamaisuus ei ehkä ole tyylikästä, mutta perkeleen käytännöllistä. Uskoisin, että pesee hunters elementit ynnä muut kuus nolla, vaikkei _täysin_ äänetön olekaan. Jos mulla kesti Haltin drymax takki 2002-2017, niin tää varmaan palvelee vielä 2040-luvulla. Ei siinä vuotta kohden kauheita kustannuksia tule.

Itse käytän takkia sateisina päivinä joko metsä- tai reservihommissa. Hihojen tuuletusaukot ovat hyvin tehokkaita ja estävät liiallisen hikoilun (en suosittele takkia pitkimmille marssille ellei ole sateista, kalvotakit eivät kuitenkaan niin paljon hengitä).
Sadekestävyys esim. intin takkeihin (ja kaikkiin muihinkiin myös) verrattuna on mahtava. Vesi suorastaan valuu pois takista, eikä jätä sellaista kosteaa tuntoa sadesään jälkeen. Tässä uudessakin leikkauksessa leukasuoja tulee aika korkealle, mutta huppu on tilavempi kuin edellisessä versiossa. Jos Varustelekalta tulisi identtinen siviiliversio (esim. musta/vihreä/keltainen) ostaisin sellaisen heti. Paras omistamani sadetakki!

I was very impressed how small it can be packed.
Its very durable, I use it on long hikes in 3 seasons, you can use it without beeing boiled inside in the summer too since its very breathable and the ventilation is great.
I just use a Arc'ter*x Beta SL in summer because its packed even smaller and lighter. However its fairly thin and the material can be easily damaged by something like spiky branches, shoulderstraps of heavy hikingpacks etc. (summer=lighter backpack, which don't damage the material on the shoulders).
But the Särmä TST L6 Hardshell jacket takes rough handling and conditions very well.
Used it on many hikes (around 200-250km-trails with a 15-27kg backpack, depending on route and season) but it never failed me!
On rainy days I wear it while playing Airsoft (use M05 kit, excellent camo for woodland areas) and the jacket don't show signs of wear or tear.
After hiking trough heavy rain and/or snow for hours, you will be still bone dry like my wife (of course with the right layers underneath, which will increase the comfort a lot - you have to love the TST layer set since stuff on this level of performance will cost you double if you buy "3-layer-****tex-civil-hiking-hardshell-stuff").
You want a very reliable 3-layer Hardshell? This is the right choice, even if its a little expensive and not super light-weight its worth it.
Tested arround a dozen jackets and ponchos from different "good"/expensive companys, till I bought this beauty :)

Edit : would not recommend , Is not that watherproof( was soaking wet after only half an hour of really heavy rain and no i dont have damaged it ) and for this price you can expect more. The fabric is soaking up water like a sponge even after spraing it with an dwr and also the thing to hang the jacket on the wall is about to tear off after only a few weeks of use.

Noniin, tulihan niitä sieltä. Kiitoksia, tilaus on vetämässä ja paketti kuljetuksessa.
L6 Hardshell menee heti ostoslistalle, jos päätätte vähän leventää leikkausta hartioiden osalta! Kokeilin samalla kerralla XL L3 Lämpötakkia ja se istui hartioiden osalta oikein kivasti.
Pitäisi tulla tuossa kevväämmällä! Tarkempi ajankohta ilmoitellahan sitten kun saadaan varmuus toimitusajasta. Pakkascamo-ehdotuksesi on nyt pistetty meidän ehdottelulistalle.
Se on tuota uutta tummempaa.
Ja koskakohan sitä saapuu? Piti tulla jo pari viikkoa sitten…
