👍 .. Varusteleka .. Good, well-priced Gear with excellent no BS service .. my first choice for a look-see when looking for something that I most probably don't need 😊 .. but cannot survive without. The Särma Brand .. I've got some of their items and they haven't disappointed to date. The knife .. I've got the 140 in Carbon Steel. Agree, Bomb Proof. Thanks for sharing.
Seems nice. Would like a very large snout in the hood like on some Fjällräven and Garphyttan. Wished it came without velcro. Hate Velcro. Would like som me buttons or string.
Very good info m8. Love the map pocket and the ventilation and more. Thnx m8 Wished it had a large tunnel in the hood to protect face in severe weather. At leaast 3 inches further than now. Some wire would also fit. Also, ban velcro and use buttons. Heavy duty buttons.
I’ve modded mine by putting shock cord in the hems. I’m also going to get the side zips shortened to a similar length as the Buffalo shirts. The trousers in the same range are really comfy too.
Wooly, great review and completely torn between this and the Hilltrek - price a huge driver between the two. What was it like in the wet and drizzle? Do you think you could reach out to Varusteleka and see if they would send you a Särmä TST Woolshell Jacket? I have heard great things about this jacket, but there are few online reviews that I would trust. I know that you really like the the Woolshell trousers. I would love you hear your thoughts on the Woolshell jacket. Varusteleka if you are reading this - send Wooly the Woolshell jacket.
I have the smock and it is good. considered getting the anorak but after getting the womens parka and it being a dud I don't want to risk it. Also beware if you get a dud you are SOL.
GOTTA Love this stuff.
🏴 love from Scotland 🏴
Cheers buddy
Thanks for the review and especially for wearing the garment while you review it as opposed to table reviews which are more or less useless. Nice job
Thanks buddy, I've been testing it hard all summer, second review is on its way soon
@@RedBranchBushcraft looking forward to part 2 my man. Oh and by the way it's pronounced "Sayrrmay" .
Thanks man, I'm terrible at the pronunciation, new video up now
Just opened mine. Already my favourite smock. Bought almost purely off of your review, thanks! 🤙
Excellent!! If you leave a review mention the channel please

Seems like a Nice product. The hood is a great design
its nice , but only time will tell if its any good
Personnaly with a rucksack I've found that the map pocket/ handwarmer is perfectly usable with both straps on
I've found the same since then, thanks for the comment
Wow I was just looking at this jacket. Great video!
Nice, I'm like it so far, very well made , and hard to beat for the price

I have the outdoor trousers and the windproof ones, I'm liking both
@@RedBranchBushcraft, the shorts are good as well, as are the Merino polo shirts.
Nice
Here in Switzerland, the Windproof Trousers and Smock hang within easy reach in my cupboard.

Lol, email them! It's much better than expected in the rain,
And you can wax it if you like, 1000 times better than garphyttan equivalent
Also, the hilltrek is completely waterproof
@@RedBranchBushcraftBut when Ventile is soak, you need 1/2 eternity to dry it...
Lol
Enjoyed the video; have a quick question. How small or tight can this be rolled up and stowed?
Not sure, ill check tomorrow and post the pictures in the community section
