Särmä TST M05 RES camo jacket
Our improved version of the Finnish military issue M05 summer woodland jacket. Our enhanced version features two zippered sleeve pockets and better adjustable cuffs. Looks just like the issue jacket at first glance, but functions a little bit better. Officially M05 RES approved!
Särmä TST M05 boonie
Our own, improved version of the Finnish military issue M05 summer woodland boonie hat. Our enhanced version features a foliage band (yes, the Finnish army really did not include that on the issue piece...). Just like MILSPEC, just a bit better!
Särmä TST L4 Field Jacket
The L4 Field Jacket was designed for pure functionality. Smart materials and a purpose built design guarantee the best possible comfort regardless of what type of fighting and/or sustainment load you´re carrying. This is a great alternative for the Finnish military issue M05 jacket, which suffer from a load of compromises due to the fact that it was designed to double up as parade wear.
Särmä TST L2 turtleneck shirt, merino wool
A functional midweight turtleneck shirt for demanding active wear. Made from a polyamide reinforced merino wool blend. Functions both as a heavier base layer or a mid layer, great for both the cold seasons and cool summer nights.
Särmä TST L1 Balaclava, merino wool
A functional multi purpose piece of headgear, can be worn as a balaclava or folded up to form a cap or folded down to form a tube scarf. Lightweight merino wool construction, highly breathable comfortable and moisture wicking.

Mil-Tec kids BDU jacket, Woodland
Fortunately real children's sizes in used army surplus are pretty hard to find, but that doesn't stop civilian manufacturers from making kid-size BDU's.
Särmä TST Rip-Off IFAK pouch
Easily accessed hook-and-loop attached IFAK pouch. Different mount options available to fit different end users needs.
A button-on hood for the M05 camo jacket, a neat little accessory that really adds versatility to the simple jacket design. Available in two different styles, unlined summer version in M05 woodland camouflage and fleece lined winter version in M05 winter camouflage.
Available in two sizes, one for smaller jacket and one for the larger ones. Comes with the buttons needed for attachment, so you´ll have to do a little bit of sewing.

Product reviews
4/5
Overall:
This hood is a very functional and seems to be of high quality.This is actually more comparable to the premium line of Arktis uniforms than the jacket and trousers.
Sizing:
I bought jacket size 750 and hood size S which seems to fit well togehter.
Remarks (my personal opinion):
The fabric for this uniform is single layer and white on the backside. This is not a problem with the trousers, might be a problem with the jacket and an actual problem with the hood - but fixable. The positive side is that you could turn the inside out and use this uniform as a kind of winther camo, but only with internal pockets (irony). The negative side is that you will have to make sure that the inside is hidden when yoy take off your jacket in a tactical environment - especially when resting or at camp or when hanging the jacket to dry. This is more of a problem with the hood as the inside of the hood is clearly visible when the hood is resting flat against your upper back. You will thus have to make sure that the hood is always cinched up whenever it is not in use. This will make it more annoying to use the hood. You can see this in picture no. 3. But it kind of like it as the jacket and hood could be turned inside-out for a "in a pinch" winther camo.
MInd that you will have to sew on the three buttons for the hood (included) your self. I had all materials ready at hand so it was a 15-30 minutes job.
Should it have been made in waterproof fabric? Maybe.
Not a real drawback, and maybe not something to consider in this price range. The rim is not floppy at all, but could have been made stiffer with a metal wire reinforcement. This would have pushed up price though and could be quite easily done by your self.
