Särmä TST M05 Fur Hat

The official cold-weather hat of the Finnish defence forces, with our own little improvements. Fur hats have very long traditions in the Finnish military it was actually after experiences in the Winter War of 1939 against us Finns that the Soviets adopted their now-legendary Ushanka fur hats. A very versatile model, this can be worn in many ways depending on the situation at hand.

• Not only functional but looks good too, suitable not only for field wear.
• Fold down ear protector with microfleece lining.
• Fold down fur lined ear and neck flaps for extreme cold protection.
• Fleece lined interior.

Materials

The outer fabric (Viking by Carrington) is 70/30 polycotton, the exact same material used in the latest production runs of the official issue uniforms. Naturally, the camo print is totally NIR compliant, so you don´t need to fear to look all lit-up when viewed through NVDs.

The interior fleece lining and faux fur exterior are 100% polyester.

To make sure the fabric does not lose it´s NIR compliant properties we recommend careful wash using only detergents that are free of optical brighteners, basically the more natural you get the better.

Sizing

One-centimetre increments between 55—63 cm, talking head circumference here. The fit is loose enough to allow a few fingers between the cap and head; definitely no need to size up for relaxed wear. For a taut fit one size smaller than usual might come into question.

Sewn in Estonia

These are sewn in Estonia, at a factory that has a long history of producing quality clothing for military, law enforcement agencies.
