The other day I received a great note from the Finnish gear company Varusteleka Oy about their new Särmä TST Woolshell jacket and trousers.
We just released a really awesome outfit. Modern, minimalistic yet highly functional combat uniform made out of wool. At least in Finland, we have had a long tradition of making military clothing out of wool and approach was tested in the fire during the Winter War and Continuation War. We brought this legacy into a modern setting with Särmä TST Woolshell jacket and trousers. Extremely good in cold conditions, breaths, naturally antibacterial, naturally fire resistant and quiet.

I don’t know about it where you live, but it got cold really quick here in Virginia. It made me start thinking about winter which usually isn’t the case for another two months. I started pulling out coats and other cold weather gear and considering what’s available for others who are going to start asking questions about what’s available. I just found out that Wild Things has the FR Knuckle Roaster Back In stock.
Like the hand warmers used by quarterbacks, the point of the Knuckle Roaster is to keep the fingers nimble in spite of severe weather. It allows you to wear lighter weight gloves in cold weather, to maintain dexterity, by giving you a warm place to put your hands.
It features a nylon, DWR treated outer fabric that provides excellent durability, wind and water resistance. The interior is lined with fleece for warmth and includes a sewn in pocket for disposable hand warmers. The reinforced web belt adjusts to various waist sizes with an easy-to-use buckle. It also includes an exterior zippered storage pocket. Last, but not least, it’s FR.
Wild Things has generously offered a 15% discount for SSD readers by using code “SSD556“. To order, visit www.wildthingsgear.com.
Armadillo Merino, have been working on enhancing the natural FR properties of merino wool and will be launching an range of FR base layers to work alongside the extreme cold weather equipment. So, when you are in a situation when you need to cook in your tent, you are protected, no matter what happens, or who kicks over the stove.

The DRB Woodsman Shirt is a part of their Made in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“The Woodsman Shirt under our Danger Ranger Bear label continues to be some of our most popular editions. The DRB sub-brand is a look back to classic outdoor Americana but updated with modern considerations for today’s users, while retaining their best legacy qualities. We make the only wool outdoor shirt with patterning details taken from modern technical performance wear, the chest pockets have been resized to fit something besides a pack of Lucky Strikes, and the work wear, industrial grade construction is the most bomber of any shirt of its type available on the market. It’s these small, but critical details, which make our designs, stand apart. They are subtle, strong, but they are there. Our new Heather Gray color was inspired by vintage alpine and mountaineering styles. The Camp Master Red is bold, a call to action, and is in honor of the long outdoor American tradition of Scouting. We’ve always been a fan of stoic Navy Blue, and the Special Edition in 21oz Woolrich is a heavyweight classic with a nod to the US Navy CPO Shirt. The Woodsman Shirts are built to last, posses timeless styling, function, and made here in California, USA.”
