They also work very closely indeed with technical
fabric manufacturers so when it comes to getting real
performance from your clothing system then Helikon-Tex
can pretty much guarantee they will have what you are
looking for; if you visit their website and check out their
“Partners” page you’ll see exactly what I mean!
I’m pleased to say that these days we have a really
superb working relationship with the team at Helikon-Tex,
and even during these “challenging times” we’re living in
they’ve been in constant contact with PMCI, sending us
over test garments and gear, and their “operational tempo”
seems to be as brisk as ever. What you need to realise
here folks is that any manufacturer needs to be working
well ahead of the curve given the fact that it takes some
serious time to develop an entire range of gear; Helikon-
Tex are working constantly with both their own “brand
ambassador” program, and with professional users around
the globe each day, and every day. What we’re seeing as
finished product today has been, quite literally, “in the
mill” for some considerable time, and their longevity as
an experienced manufacturer gives them the ability to be
not just “on trend”, but to set that trend themselves!
NEW, IMPROVED, AND BANG ON
Now I’ve personally been a fan of Helikon-Tex shirts since
I bought my very first range polo from them many years
back, as they build their garments for the user with extra
little refinements thrown in that prove that they’re “users”
themselves, and the very latest shirts in their range show
that completely!
A while back they introduced two models that were
really a “statement of intent” of where they wold be
heading, and both my wife and I love their Defender Mk2
Pilgrim shirt; as soon as my wife saw mine she wanted
one, and who am I to argue with such fine taste! I’ve also
become a fan of the MBDU Flannel Shirt which looks great
but also has a wealth of features to enamour shooters
worldwide, and I have to say the Helikon-Tex team looked
super-sharp in theirs at SHOT!
Never a company to rest on their laurels though,
Helikon-Tex have rolled out this program further with
some great new models for 2020 that take things further,
truly creating a range that has something for everyone!
The newest models of their tactical shirts expand the
selection of the Urban line with new Covert Concealed
Carry shirts, but also with a plain-looking Greyman Shirt,
which, together with their Greyman Tactical Jeans, creates
a solid set-up for any urban adventurer.
I think we’d all have to agree that there is probably
no more low profile type of clothing than a classic shirt
combined with a pair of cargo pants or jeans, and the
new Covert Concealed Carry Shirts are just the garments
you need to pull of this laid-back yet prepared look;
during urban operations in warm, summer days, it is as
much important to look good, keep a low profile and feel
comfortable so in addition to a fill-length sleeve model
there’s also a Covert Concealed Carry Short Short Sleeve
Shirt to fulfil all those tasks.
Made of lightweight cotton/poly (heavy on the cotton
for a great feel!) fabric in a classic plaid pattern the shirts
will help you blend in during any urban operation. Two
