pmcimagazine.com Y C & G R NEW GEAR FROM HELIKON-TEX In the last issue of PMCI we took a look at the new clothing ranges launched by Helikon-Tex at IWA 2016. To complement the clothing there are also new gear items to fit their Urban, Outdoor, and Range lines; these also offer brand new designs and new materials and as always these pieces of gear are cleverly achieved and meticulously put together! H 22 elikon-Tex have always had a strong offering when it comes to “nylon gear” and accessories, and the focus of their new lines brings some great new additions. They’ve obviously used their great experience, the culmination of ideas gained from gathering information in the tactical market since 1983 to create items of gear that the user actually needs. When you’ve been around as long as they have the sheer volume of “intel” gained both from using the gear themselves, and listening carefully to the feedback of their end users, must be huge. They’ve really put this knowledge to great use in relation to the new products, as in their tried and tested style Helikon- Tex have released just a small number of extremely focused designs which complement the other pieces they already have in their extensive range. I’ll break things down line by line so you can appreciate just how focused these new designs are. Th W fin w yo go at URBAN LINE This is what really started the Helikon-Tex evolution as the Urban Line is their take on both the challenges and routines of a modern world, merging tactical, sporting and EDC elements into one. All the designs in this line are oriented to give you sharp looks and enough space to hold all your daily stuff. Keep in mind that everybody is trying to keep “low profile” these days, and that’s the rule that Helikon-Tex follow with their new Urban Line designs. URBAN ADMIN POUCH With a growing amount of electronics to keep in order, and to carry with you daily, it seemed natural to develop pouches that would help to keep all those cables, flash drives and power- banks in relative order. The Urban Admin Pouch is a MOLLE/ PALS compatible admin pouch with a removable pocket insert that can be carried as a standalone wallet. pmcimagazine.com iPa re
