I’m looking for a super warm winter coat that will last me forever. Something that will keep me warm around -30 C. I’m thinking military surplus, because it should theoretically be more durable (right?).
Price isn’t a huge issue if the quality is worth it.
They’re not just their own brand. They sell various brands. A lot are Finnish though.
I myself enjoyed the drylock version of the boots I had in the military. Unfortunately the drylock membrane made their care harder / more expensive and I was a lazy cunt and they got ruined much before they should’ve.
Idk if Hedgren brand does clothing, they do backpacks at least, and idk about their quality nowadays, but the Hedgrem backpack my mom bought me in the early 90’s is still serving me extremely well. It doesn’t look outdated either, and I’ve not been careful with it in the slightest in the past 30 years or so.
Varusteleka actually started as a surplus store and is now producing their own brands (Sämär/ Sämär TST). They have the same manufacturing as Savotta, which is top notch.
Well last time I bought anything was in like 2011 and just knew they rocked the brands FDF uses as well. Jalas Phantom Drylock are the boots I talked about.
