Thanks for the comparison- we did not have Taiga Color products with us so far - would you say it will be similar to Ranger Green? Great content as always mate!
Yes, absolutely. Ranger Green is my favourite green colour. Way better than khaki and OD green. The Taiga green is very similar. Thanks for watching 🤜🤛
@@MoorlanderEDC I have to disagree. Ranger Green has more yellow/brown in the color mix, while Taiga Green tends more toward grey. Both are fine olive tones but Ranger Green is a bit brighter and overall better for rural concealment while Taiga Green works awesomely well in urban environments.
@@MoorlanderEDC I used to play airsoft all through the winter in cqb and woodland and it kept up no problem. I don't think I've ever felt too cold wearing a Gunfighter!
Hi, the size of helikon tex is different in usa and europe. When you say large is usa size or uk? I would like to know this,thank you Sorry for my english
Correct. There isn't any lining on either jacket. The outer material is the only shell there it. The large pockets are backed with a tough mesh which covers a large section on the front however it's definitely not a lining. 🤙
The biggest Jacket between the Trooper (MK1) and the Blizzard is the vertical horizontal back pocket (does the MK2 don't have a back pocket?) and the size cut. The Blizzards fits me well in "M" while I need the Trooper in "L". Thanks for the video and the comparison. Nice Instinct btw. I have it in the same color, awesome watch!
The blizzard is also lighter and cheaper. I don't know if Helikon is running out of ideas but they seem to have a lot of very similar products at the moment. Anyway great video thanks for posting.
Thanks buddy. Have you seen the recently released Tracer anorak? It's pretty much the Woodsman Anorak but with more tactical pockets. I think Helikon have a keep eye for making these slight alteration. From the production side it must be easier to reproduce a similar jacket as the blanks for cutting out the cloth are all there
Thanks for this. I have my Blizzard jacket for more than 2 years and it is very good piece of gear. I do not see any reason to buy Trooper jacket if you have Blizzard.
Hi, hope you're well. Yes, with my blue skin and ginger locks I have to stay out of the sun 😃 That hat is from Pentagon and one of the hats I wear the most. I made some sun hat content a while back if it helps - th-cam.com/video/uU9aXSYO7X4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0Fp7X8YeH-RDMjaX I think the model of the hat was the Babylon or something like that. I'm away in a few weeks and will be making some more sun hat content when I get back
Thanks for making this video! I think the old trooper is more stylish than the new trooper mk2
Thanks for the very detailed comparison mate!! Appreciate the work!!
My pleasure!

Thank you😺👍
Have you tried the Gunfighter? Ive just bought my 2nd after owning one for around 15 years. I absolutely love it, very versatile.
Not yet. It's on my list. I'll try that next. Thanks for the suggestion 🤙

Hey fella. Thanks for watching!

Sorry for my english
The sizes as UK/European sizes. I wear an EU Large which I believe is a US Medium. I hope that helps
ps. you're English skills are great 👍
Seems like neither of them has an inner lining?
Correct. There isn't any lining on either jacket. The outer material is the only shell there it. The large pockets are backed with a tough mesh which covers a large section on the front however it's definitely not a lining. 🤙
Very good Video for making a choice, thanks!

You're more than welcome. Glad to hear you enjoyed the content
He forgot to answer about the back pocket. He mentioned in another video that the MK2 got rid of the "poacher pocket" in the back.
@@faux-real sorry, completely skimmed that whilst reading. No, I don't think this has that back pocket anymore
The blizzard is also lighter and cheaper. I don't know if Helikon is running out of ideas but they seem to have a lot of very similar products at the moment. Anyway great video thanks for posting.

@@MoorlanderEDC That is a fair point. I like the idea of a tactical anorak, I hope they offer it in a decent range of camo patterns.
Very good review.

Agreed. They're very similar jackets for sure. Thanks for watching
I have both and I practically don't notice any difference
Mr. Moorlander, what nice little boonie hat do you wear in this video? Thank you!
