Helikon-Tex Pilgrim Anorak Jacket - Taiga Green

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.

Very nice jacket. I bought it in Taiga Green color. I've had it for 1.5 years now, so I can say something about it. With a height of 171 cm and a weight of 83 kg, size L is good. I can wear a medium-thickness fleece underneath and it's ok. The cut of the jacket is nice. A great solution is the underarm ventilation with zippers and mesh, which helps regulate temperature during intense outdoor work. The slanted pockets are well thought out, with zippered pockets underneath. A good feature is the drawstring adjustment at the bottom of the jacket. If needed, I can extend the jacket for protection of the back and lower back, or shorten it to waist length by tightening the drawstrings. The large front pass-through pocket is very spacious and is used for carrying a map, buff, or gloves. The material of the jacket is very durable against sharp vegetation and rain. So far it hasn't soaked through and has never let me down. I am very satisfied with the jacket. It is made with great attention to detail. I recommend it because it's worth it.

The size M jacket weighs 1043 g – that's 8 g more than my old, faded BW parka. In terms of size, they are almost identical – the Pilgrim has an extended back, the German one has plenty of buttons, epaulettes, and brass snaps. But how long can you keep wearing a parka from 1996? For my 170 cm height, size M is good, the sleeves are perfect, and I can fit a 100 fleece underneath, a Deca insulated jacket, and a thick padded vest. The downside for me is the Canadian buttons. Kudos to anyone who can open that pocket with one hand (the other might be injured). Snaps like in the BW or Swiss models are a better solution. That's why I give one star less. PRS

The jacket is great. For a long time, I was considering the Woodsman, but the Pilgrim appeared at an attractive price, so I decided to go for it. My first anorak, and I have to admit, the jacket does the job. As always with Helikon, the pocket layout is perfect. Shortly after purchase, the jacket proved itself on a mountain trail during the first snow. I don't really understand the sizing at Helikon. At 183 cm tall and about 83 kg, I have jackets in size M, but a fleece in size L. Unfortunately, I have to confirm one of the previous comments. One trip with a backpack and the back of the jacket is already worn out. That's a bit disappointing for such a brand.

My first anorak, the pocket layout and easy access are a big advantage. Ventilation works very well. I'm curious how it will perform after longer use. Size XL is ideal for 170cm/108kg, size L was too tight ;)

I didn't expect this jacket to be so good. Perfect jacket for the forest, didn't get wet after many hours of rain – water beads up and it dries very quickly. Pockets are very convenient and spacious. The back material is extended – protects from the wind and you can sit in the field. Size L is good for tall, slim people. Nothing to do but recommend!

Very good jacket, worth trying on before purchase (I usually wear XL but L in Anorak fits me well) and impregnating before more demanding use. Other than that, jacket is great and at a good price. I recommend.

Great jacket for bushwhacking in the woods, not afraid of thickets. Lots of useful pockets and plenty of options for ventilation or retaining warmth. As 'mittens' on top of a hill it works really well. Size S 167 cm height and 73 kg weight fits perfectly. It's easier to put on when the underarm vents are unzipped.

This anorak is awesome. Material, color, arrangement of pockets, everything fits. Unfortunately, in my case, there was a problem that I couldn't solve even after exchanging 2XL for 3XL. Simply put—a person with a sturdy build and a barrel-shaped belly just won't feel comfortable in it. At the waist, even with the drawstring fully loosened, it's just too tight. Putting any warm layer under the anorak only makes the problem worse. Maybe if the anorak was shaped more like a barrel, I'd wear it everywhere. I hesitated for a while after buying 3XL but reason prevailed. I'll have to try to fit into a SMOCK from Helikon or wait for something to appear in 4XL size. Supposedly SMOCK has such a size in the chart, but it is not for sale anywhere. To conclude—hurry up and love the anorak from Heli while it still fits you.

One of my favorite jackets for the forest, but not only (for the city too). A large number of pockets makes it easy to organize and carry gear. It is a bit roomy, long, and heavy, so it's not suitable for summer walks.
