The Pilgrim Anorak is another great piece of gear from Helikon-Tex and I'll make sure to follow this up after the winter with further thoughts

Lol! The ad leading in to this was that scammy bearskin thing . Thanks for the review!
Ha ha ha ha... I think I know the one you mean about that super hardcore fleece. This thing is way better 😅
Excellent video
Thank you 🤙
Always the best reviews! Wearing it inside- out was a nice touch!
Thanks Mike. I'd been thinking how was the best way to show off the layout of the mesh while I was walking out and even took a coat hander with me just in case. Sometimes the most simple ways are the best. I hope you're well buddy and having a great week
Great review.. and for the bloopers.. top man 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome jacket, looks ready for anything. Thank you.
You're more than welcome buddy 👍
Excellent Review. The best I've seen on this jacket
Thank you Larry. After a day at work reading this has made my day my friend 🤙
For someone on a day where they couldn't think straight you do awesome reviews mate. 👍
Ha ha ha... Thanks buddy. There was a lot of retakes and a lot of swearing 😂
@@MoorlanderEDC We are all human. 🤣 👊
Got this jacket, it's awesome. Great review mate.
Thanks Stu. Helikon are churning out some great gear for sure. All the best fella 👍
Best video bar none on this anorak buddy!
My MrDennis. Thank you, my friend. It's always great and humbling to hear my content is enjoyed this much. I hope you're well and have a great weekend planned
Nice anorak (I have one) and very well reviewed, thx :)
You're more than welcome my friend. Have a great week
Ey up. I definitely like this jacket 👍
Oh ah shag, she's a beauty for sure 😅 Peace, happiness and the Moorlander dream 👍
Great job. Ive had my anorak for 2years 2winters 2 springs ...... as for the mesh liner. Ive found it creates a micro layer of air and does add to heat retention (if only a very small amount of heat reantion. I think it prevents any kind of thermal bridge from happenin between the Duracanvas and your body. Brillient piece of kit. Im in southern ontario in Canada. I wear my pilgrram year round.
HI Shane. Thanks for watching buddy. I imagine your temperature extremes far surpass mine. I'm definitely going to do a follow up to this in the spring. Helikon have some amazing designers. All the best buddy
Gonna grab one for Alberta/Latvia.
Something I've found with the mesh liner is that it not only provides a little bit of insulation but it also wicks quite well, which makes the anorak a real 3 or even 3.5 season outer layer. Tech wash also works a treat with the anorak. Doesn't make it waterproof but it will let it shrug off a shower.
Thanks Cen. I think I'll add some proofing to this for the winter to see how it fairs. Chalk up another win for Helikon
@@MoorlanderEDCTech Wash followed by TX Direct. Do that with my Paramos.
Best of the bush craft range
Generous in size
Down side not good for squally irish weather.but love the jkt .
Woodsman and mistral same pity they are not designed for more temperate climate.
Would love if they did and call it the hibernia range.
Great products keep on working and innovating.....
Just brought a 3XL as I have a 54 inch Chest. I like the build quality and materials used but the measurements showed that it should be about 58 inches. Doesn't feel like that at all and is very tight. Dunno if its just that my jacket was built slightly off of what, because I also own a Blizzard Jacket and that feels a hell of a lot bigger.
I've found there's a few discrepancies with sizing from Helikon. I have the Blizzard which feels large. I just picked up the Trooper v2 which is essentially the same jacket and the sizes are different
Nice review thanks. A good price also. I’m not personally keen on the breast pocket look but very practical. Would you wear in UK autumn or winter ?
Hi Graeme. I'm definitely going to do a follow up with this maybe March time next year to see how it faired through the winter for sure.
Has anyone tried treating it with Camp Dry? I use it on my hiking boots with great success.
looks great in that color. I'd recommend waxing it. toughens it up without making it too stiff.🌧️
Yes, thinking of adding some nikwax for the winter
So, how do you compare the Pilgrim and the Woodsman? If you had to get rid one, which one would you keep? I'm not thinking Insulation (that's your Woolies job) : Breathability; Toughness; Storm Resistance; Quietness...
I have the Woodsman and the zips that go right up the sides are annoying, they keep unzipping so I think I am going to swap for a Pilgrim
Hi RB. It's a hard answer as it's tricky. If I had to chose at this point I'd chose the Woodsman, however that's because I know it better as it's the one I've had the longest, however I think I'd be able to answer this better come March/April. I'm 100% going to do a follow up on this jacket. I hope that helps. James is right below though... The larger longer side zips on the Woodsman are very annoying and frustrating when you're taking it on and off
I’m looking to order one of these soon, I’m about the same height and weight. Is it LG in European sizes or US sizes?? I like the way it fits on you and don’t want it to be massive because I usually wear an XL in US sizes. I’m looking at the XXL European size because it supposedly fits like a US XL.
Evenin. Would be interested to know your favourite between the Woodsman and the Pilgrim, and why?
Hmmmmmm... you may have got me on that one fella. My head says the Woodsman... only because I've had it for some long and I've put it through a lot. In the design it's a far simple anorak and that plays to it's strengths. The super long side zippers do my nut in though. When it's on they're fine, but can come open with your putting it on and off. However, I think the Pilgrim has way more potential as a single garment solution for more seasons. Having worn this in the summer it does get hotter than the Woodsman, however you can manage the heat so much better with all of the pockets and armpits open. Plus in the colder months there may not need to be the need for an insulation layer underneath (I generally am quite warm blooded). It's a hard one really fella. I'm definitely going to do a follow up this one as that autumn/winter period will help to answer this with more confidence. There's also the Mistral too. I've spoken with Mil 1st and I have some shorts on the way, however I might ask about the Mistral next
A new HT release is the Tramontane which could be worth a look. Very light weight jacket.
Yes, I'd seen that bad boy. I made a reference to a jackets that can be folded into a voles scrotum a few months back... That might just fit the bill 😂 that list keeps getting longer
Did you find out if it is coated?
I would like to wash is but don't wont loose the effect.
Hi Robert, yes sorry I forgot to update 😂 it's currently not coated so that you're able to add your own if you wanted to at a later date. As long as you follow the washing instructions you should be good to go 👍 are you thinking of adding a protection coat?
Helikon answered this morning that it is dwr coated. I would use spay impregnation and no wax because of the breathability.
@@robertwestermeier7301wax will take away some breathability but will also help the wind blocking.
I'd love to see this anorak with a full zipper in the front :(
I think the closest to that would be the Helikon-Tex SAS jacket. I've made some content comparing the Pilgrim, SAS and the Woodsman jackets in their Bushcraft range if that helps
Where did you get that hat?
That's from Heliko9n Tex. Amazing hat... plus they're releasing another version this year designed to be lighter and more suited for very high temperatures. I made some content a while back on a few boonie hats - th-cam.com/video/uU9aXSYO7X4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info and the quick reply. Love your videos! They need to offer more variety in the helicon-Tex US store.
Helikon sizing tends to be quite American. I'm 6' & 73 kg and wear Small trousers & shirts.
Yeah, they actually have dual sizing on certain items, so an item can be US L/Eu M. This can cause some confusion and issues when buying, some times sellers will list the incorrect size for the region. But I found that an Eu large corresponded well to my size in europe
@@kniter my Defender Pilgrim shirt is US Ex Small & EU Small. Imagine being 6' and lean & classed as XS 😯. It's a symptom of the US obesity problem.
So had mine for around 5 months now. Not really impressed. Not as durable as I had imagined and a fair amount of stiching has come undone and the material is suprisingly easy to rip and doesn't stitch back up to well. I like the look of it and the way the pockets are set up, but got an Olive SAS smock off ebay from GS surplus with an MVP lining for 69 quid and it's miles better and has been more durable.
Hi, that doesn't sound good at all. Have you considered getting in touch with Helikon on Instagram or Facebook? It might be worth a try
@@MoorlanderEDC Given them a buzz, just waiting on a reply
Hello, does this shrink under wash?
Yes buddy. If you wash at 30 it will be fine
@@MoorlanderEDCjust got the jacket.. it is soooooo fly, I love it.
Is it waterproof
Hi. Out of the box it's not waterproof... However if you wanted to Nik Wax it or add an old school wax proofing to it (highly recommend the Fjallraven wax) you can do. The options are there. Hope that helps
