A great anorak, both in terms of cut and the quality of workmanship and materials. I have two pairs of trousers made of Duracanvas, and it is true that the fabric is excellent for waxing. What one of the users wrote is not true: that the manufacturer is inventing a legend around the material by recommending waxing. This user has clearly never waxed Duracanvas and has pulled that opinion out of thin air. Please also do not be guided by the opinion of the person who discredited this excellent product and material on the basis of minor colour abrasion where the drawstring sits on the back. Such a phenomenon is completely natural. I know what I’m talking about, because I have had many military-spec contract parkas made of the best materials, and all of them wear in that spot. Yes, this is normal.
Helikon-Tex Pilgrim Anorak Jacket - Taiga Green
Hooded anorak-style jacket in Taiga Green. The outer layer is made of DuraCanvas fabric. It features a high collar with a chin guard, YKK zippers, attachment loops, and practical pockets that make it easy to organize your belongings. Designed for hiking in challenging and changeable weather conditions. It features an extended cut that effectively protects the body, regardless of how you move.
spark-resistant DuraCanvas material
Pilgrim jacket made of durable, quick-drying, and spark-resistant DuraCanvas fabric with a grammage of 230 g/m2. The fabric is also stretchy, so the jacket does not restrict movement. An additional advantage of this fabric is that it can be waterproofed with wax. The extended back protects against wind blowing up the jacket.
7 spacious pockets
The Pilgrim Anorak features 7 practical pockets, allowing you to conveniently organize your gear:
- two chest pockets with a flap and a Canadian button closure
- two Napoleon-style pockets with an organizer, zippered
- two zippered shoulder pockets
- one kangaroo pocket on the front
The main “kangaroo” pocket is zippered and accessible from both the right and left sides. It has a padded interior, so you can warm your cold hands in it.
YKK zippers
The main half-zip closure features a two-way YKK zipper. The stand-up collar is equipped with a flap that protects the chin from being caught in the zipper. Internal webbing loops are accessible when the main zipper is unzipped and allow you to attach additional accessories.
adjustable hood, cuffs, ventilation holes
An adjustable hood with a visor and a high collar protects against rain and wind. Velcro-fastened cuffs and waist drawstrings allow you to adjust the jacket to fit your body shape. Ventilation openings with zippers and mesh linings are located under the arms, which improve breathability and temperature regulation.

Size: L
I bought this product some time ago, and I can confidently say that it was by far the best long-term investment in a piece of clothing I have ever made. I use it every day — on my way to work, when shopping, and in similar situations — both in bad and moderate weather. Since buying it, I have also taken it on every camping trip and every hike. Features such as the numerous pockets, underarm ventilation zippers, and the spacious hood, which easily fits a cap as well and protects its brim from the rain, make me very satisfied with this purchase. Thanks to such positive experiences with this product, I am now also happy to reach for other Helikon-Tex products.

Size: XXL
At a height of 198 cm and a weight of 96 kg, size XXL fits well. The length completely covers the buttocks, and the sleeves are the right length. It also seems to me that a few more sweatshirts will still fit under this anorak. The shipment to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast arrived in 6 days from placing the order.

Size: L
I’m planning to return this anorak, but not because it fits badly. At 184 cm tall, with a 105 cm waist, 112 cm chest, and a weight of 90 kg, size L fits me perfectly. I also have no complaints about the workmanship — the materials and seams are flawless. However, I came to the conclusion that it won’t be the best choice for the use I had in mind, namely primarily for hiking. This is mainly due to its weight and bulk — in size L it weighs 1.07 kg, so it is simply too heavy and not very handy — as well as the design itself, because it is an anorak, not a classic jacket. Only after receiving it and trying it on did I fully understand that it is worth trusting the manufacturer’s description: this is an advanced bushcraft anorak designed for use in variable weather. However, if you are looking for clothing for bushcraft, the Pilgrim Anorak is most likely one of the best options.

My measurements are 193 cm in height and 98.5 kg in weight, and I have a slight belly. Size 2XL fits with a slight oversized looseness, just right to fit a thicker fleece underneath. The sleeve length is suitable for my height; with the cuff loosened, they reach my knuckles, so I have enough extra length to keep the fabric from pulling when bending my arms. A great design concept is the use of pockets typical of a smock on the upper part of the torso. A big plus for the waist drawcord with shock cord.

Size: L
Well-thought-out pockets with compartments, additional loops for carabiners, a great cut, and what appeals to me the most are the zip-open underarm vents. If the Pilgrim had full side zips like the Woodsman, it would be the perfect anorak. With measurements of 184 cm height, 102 cm at the waist, 112 cm in the chest, and 92 kg body weight, size L fits me perfectly.
-
Size: XL
I really like the jacket and it is comfortable. The only downside does not concern the product itself — the size chart indicated that size M would definitely be far too small for me. In the end, I ordered XL, which is the size I have always worn.
-
Very well-made jacket, great for outdoor activities. The solid material, comfortable fit, and large number of practical pockets make it very functional.
-
The jacket is well-made from durable material. I think it will serve me for many years. It has a nice, loose fit that allows you to wear an extra layer underneath in winter.
-
The best jacket I have ever had, 185 cm tall and 74 kg, size S is fine with a fleece underneath, very comfortable, windproof, long and covers the buttocks, spacious hood, the collar beautifully covers the neck, the jacket seems very resistant to wear, a wonderful thing. I have Woodsmans, Yukon Sasa Smoka, but this Pilgrim has enchanted me, I'm waiting for a promotion to buy a black one.

I am 176 cm tall and weigh 72 kg. I chose size M and it fits perfectly. The material is quite quiet when moving and pleasant to the touch on the outside. Inside, there is almost exclusively mesh, which is a great solution, and the numerous ventilation holes ensure very good breathability.
-
I received the jacket as a gift. At a height of 190 cm, the XXL size is just right in length and sleeves, and the Earth/Brown color goes well with the MCDU Desert Night Camo pants. I admit that I'm not entirely convinced by the idea of putting it on over the head, especially after a rainy day, but I must admit it is very comfortable. My concern is the durability of the product, which is supposedly indestructible, but someone has reported it wore out just from carrying a regular backpack (?!).
-
I am very satisfied, although I think a larger size would be better. I chose L, and I am 193 cm tall with a slim build. The sleeves could be 1–2 cm longer, but everything else fits well. After all, this is a jacket for the spring-autumn period.
-
This is truly an excellent jacket. High quality and careful workmanship. The anorak works great during walks in the countryside and in the forest with my dog. The sizing is accurate – I am 183 cm tall, slim build, and the jacket fits perfectly even over a sweater and fleece. This is another product from this brand that I have bought, and every time the transaction was professional and hassle-free. I sincerely recommend both the company and this jacket.

I already have this jacket in black and I like it so much that I decided to buy the green version as well. I particularly like the four chest pockets and the sleeve pockets, as they are very useful for carrying various small items. I am 180 cm tall and have a 104 cm chest, and size M fits perfectly. The back of the jacket is long enough to cover the buttocks well. Since you put it on over your head, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to put on or take off, but its numerous advantages make up for this drawback. The material is strong, though not waterproof, but I wash it with waterproofing and thanks to that, it becomes much more resistant to rain.
