Description

The Finnish Army's M05 combat vest with pockets that meet the soldier's most essential needs for carrying magazines, water, weapon cleaning equipment and other small items.The material of the vest and pockets is infrared-protected cordura, coated with PU on the inside.

Physical Description

The vest, which can be closed with a zipper at the front (the latest models do not have a zipper at all) and three fastening buckles, as well as tightened with cords on the sides, will initially be made in at least three different sizes. Customizability allows the vest to be modified to better suit the needs of a unit or individual soldier, so there are no unnecessary pockets and, for example, more magazines, throws or other special material can be taken for more special tasks.

1 x Small universal pocket / Yleistasku pieni

Le notizie in finlandese relative al set di cinture e tasche M23 (o "M23-vyö-varustesarja") si concentrano principalmente sul suo impiego e sulla sua fornitura alle Forze di Difesa finlandesi (Puolustusvoimat).
Ecco i punti chiave tratti dai media finlandesi:Introduzione nelle truppe del Nord: Il nuovo sistema di equipaggiamento da combattimento M23 è stato introdotto per l'uso da parte delle truppe di stanza nella Finlandia settentrionale all'inizio del 2024.
Fornitura continua: L'azienda finlandese Savotta (Finn-Savotta Oy) sta continuando a fornire set di equipaggiamento M23 aggiuntivi alle Forze di Difesa.
Funzionalità ed ergonomia: Il set cintura-tasche M23 è progettato per rendere l'equipaggiamento del soldato più accessibile e a portata di mano, migliorando l'ergonomia sul campo.
Integrazione con altri equipaggiamenti: Questo set è specificamente progettato per essere utilizzato in combinazione con il giubbotto antiproiettile M17, nell'ambito di un aggiornamento generale dell'equipaggiamento individuale del soldato.
Sistema modulare: Il sistema si basa su una cintura compatibile PALS/MOLLE, permettendo una configurazione flessibile delle varie tasche (porta caricatori, utility, ecc.) in base alle esigenze individuali, come specificato nella descrizione originale dell'utente.
In sintesi, le notizie finlandesi confermano che l'M23 è un moderno equipaggiamento militare standard in fase di distribuzione e non un'arma o un elemento di conflitto internazionale, a differenza delle notizie sui ribelli "M23" in Congo, che spesso dominano i risultati di ricerca generici.

Finn-Savotta to Supply New M23 Equipment Sets to the Finnish Defence Forces


We have received a purchase order from the Finnish Defence Forces worth approx. 13 million eur for new M23 belt and pouch sets. We will also be manufacturing the textile parts for a 7 million eur procurement of M17 body armour. The body armour systems will be supplied to the FDF by Finnish body armour specialists C.P.E. Production Oy, for whom we have worked as subcontractors in the earlier procurements of the M17 system.




These projects will keep a considerable portion of our resources busy for a few years and may temporarily affect the availability of our commercial products. We are already working on expanding our production capacity to keep up with the growing demand.

The M23 belt and pouch set is designed for soldiers using M17 body armour and other PALS compatible load carrying equipment. The set includes a PALS compatible belt, two double magazine pouches, one single magazine pouch, four utility pouches, an empty magazine dump pouch and two hand grenade pouches. All pouches are made in Finnish M05 woodland camouflage and feature both PALS and belt attachment systems.





This project will have a domestic employment impact of ca. 50 person-years, with manufacturing being done at our facilities in Finland and Estonia. The main materials used, 500D and 1000D Cordura fabrics, webbing and buckles are made in the EU, with the majority of the webbing and a few other materials used being Finnish made. These are the same high-quality materials we use in the production of our commercial products.

This project is another natural step in our decades long commitment to the Finnish Defence Forces, for whom we have since the 1960’s designed and made, tents, backpacks, the M85 and M05 series of load carrying equipment and various other equipment. It should be noted that for us the Finnish Defence Forces have always been more than just a customer. In the end we design and manufacture gear for use by our friends, family and ourselves.

Finnish Army Belt System M-60

 

Finnish Army Webbing

M60 Belt System

1960s

The system as a whole is often referred to by the slang term "tetsari", which is derived from taisteluvyö (combat belt).

...

This is a :SA taisteluvyö m-60 

Description

The term SA taisteluvyö m-60 refers to a combat load-bearing system used by the Finnish Defence Forces (Puolustusvoimat), colloquially known in Finland as "tetsari". Introduced in the 1960s, it served as the standard gear for decades before being replaced by the m/85 and m/05 systems.

Physical Description

The kit typically consists of a heavy-duty leather service belt (with a two-prong buckle) and canvas shoulder straps (suspenders).

Pouches: Standard configuration included two large frontal pouches—often used for 3–6 rifle magazines or NBC gear—and a "bread bag" (leipälaukku) used as a butt pack in the rear.

Attachments: It featured leather loops for tools like an entrenching tool and was designed to work alongside the "sipulisäkki" (onion bag) assault rucksack.

Historical Context: It was most commonly worn with the iconic m/62 camouflage uniform.

Standard pockets:

In Finnish military terminology, the pouches used with the m/60 system have functional names. The general term for a pouch or pocket in Finnish is "tasku".

Here are the specific terms for the common components:

2x Lipastasku - Magazine pouch (for the RK 62 rifle magazines)
1x Leipälaukku - "Bread bag" or butt pack (used for mess kit, canteen, rations)
1x Suojanaamarilaukku or Kaasunaamarilaukku - Gas mask pouch/bag
1x Kenttäpullo - Canteen (often carried inside the leipälaukku or a dedicated pouch)
1x Kenttälapio - Entrenching tool/shovel (attached to the belt with leather loops)

Special pockets:

Integration with the m/62 System

The m/60 belt was not developed in isolation; it was the backbone of the broader m/62 equipment set, which included:

Camo Uniform: The iconic m/62 "cucumber" camouflage.

Bread Bag (Leipälaukku): A large rear-mounted pouch used as a butt pack for rations and personal gear.

Sipulisäkki (Onion Bag): A lightweight cotton rucksack designed to hook directly into the m/60 belt and suspenders for assault loads.

History note Category

ShiftTransition from WWII: Following the war, the Finnish military relied on a mix of domestic and surplus equipment. The m/60 was developed to modernize the "infantryman's workspace" for the Cold War era.

Key Components: The system abandoned the reliance on small, individual pouches for a broader "webbing" approach. It consisted of a heavy-duty leather service belt, cotton canvas shoulder straps (suspenders), and two large frontal pouches designed to hold magazines for the then-new RK 62 assault rifle.

Materials: While the belt remained leather (a signature Finnish choice for durability in arctic conditions), the suspension and storage components used heavy canvas, a material that was eventually criticized for becoming heavy and stiff when frozen or wet.

  SA taisteluvyö m-60

https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taisteluvyö

M / 60

The oldest unified carrying system consisted of a combination of shoulder straps and a belt, with pockets on the belt. The pockets had leather straps. Normally, there were two cartridge pockets on the front of the belt, one on the right and one on the left, which included different types of weapon magazines used at the time, such as submachine gun barrels and barrel magazines, as well as a separate assault rifle case. To the back, a bread bag with a kit, a field bottle and stuff was attached to the center. Both the gas mask and bread bag could also be carried with their own shoulder straps. To the left came a Fiskars folding field shovel. The assault rifle's holster contained two rounds of fire in one pocket, or six. Another cartridge pocket may have had a raincoat on hand for a gas alarm . It is a good idea for a right-handed man to place a raincoat in his left pocket so that it acts as a cushion during the downfall. If needed, roll mines, tent stacks, etc. could be hung on the hooks on the front of the battle belt cutouts.


During the 1990s, the carrier system ceased to be used for military training. The carrier in the system was mainly a backpack m / 31, which since the 1960s had a perforation on the hooks in the battle belt incisions or sometimes a saddlebag.

The Finnish Defense Forces have used several different types of combat belts (in Finnish military slang , for example, Tetsari ), the latest being the m / 05.

The system as a whole is often referred to by the slang term "tetsari", which is derived from taisteluvyö (combat belt).

The development of the SA taisteluvyö m-60 (Model 1960 combat belt) was a pivotal shift in Finnish infantry gear, moving away from World War II-era leather webbing toward a more modern, standardized load-bearing system.

1. Design & Material 

ShiftTransition from WWII: Following the war, the Finnish military relied on a mix of domestic and surplus equipment. The m/60 was developed to modernize the "infantryman's workspace" for the Cold War era.
Key Components: The system abandoned the reliance on small, individual pouches for a broader "webbing" approach. It consisted of a heavy-duty leather service belt, cotton canvas shoulder straps (suspenders), and two large frontal pouches designed to hold magazines for the then-new RK 62 assault rifle.
Materials: While the belt remained leather (a signature Finnish choice for durability in arctic conditions), the suspension and storage components used heavy canvas, a material that was eventually criticized for becoming heavy and stiff when frozen or wet.

2. Integration with the m/62 System
The m/60 belt was not developed in isolation; it was the backbone of the broader m/62 equipment set, which included:Camo Uniform: The iconic m/62 "cucumber" camouflage.
Bread Bag (Leipälaukku): A large rear-mounted pouch used as a butt pack for rations and personal gear.
Sipulisäkki (Onion Bag): A lightweight cotton rucksack designed to hook directly into the m/60 belt and suspenders for assault loads.

3. Replacement and LegacyThe m/85 Successor: Development of a replacement began in 1980 through a collaboration between the Finnish Defence Forces and Finn-Savotta. The resulting m/85 system addressed the ergonomic failures of the m/60, moving toward nylon and integrated padding.
Current Service: Despite being officially replaced by the m/85 and later the m/05 modular vest system, the m/60 leather belt remains in use today as the standard trouser belt for the modern m/05 uniform.
Would you like to see a comparison of the pouch layouts between the m/60 and the modern m/05 system?

Finnish Army M05 Gas Mask Pouch

SA M05 kaasunaamaritasku

A gas mask pouch of the new Finnish M05 load carrying system.

A large, rectangular pouch with a separate bag for the mask itself, and a flat pocket on the front. Measurements of the main pouch about 18 x 20 x 13 cm.

The pull tabs are operated by yanking them slightly sideways. If pulled straight, they won't open up as easily. They can be secured pretty well (i.e. for a parachute drop) by running the additional plastic tabs through the loops beofre closing the main tabs.

Made of military grade cordura, with PU-coating on the inside. The quality is excellent overall, as should be expected.

Manufactured in Finland by Savotta, a longtime veteran producer of military and outdoor gear.
