Anybody any experience with purchasing helikon clothing, are they kind with sizes or are they small fitting. Especially trousers.

I got some SFU's 2 weeks ago.

I'm a 16 inch neck and 42 chest. Large was massive and medium was just right. Also has a adjstment button just above the waist for a tighter fitted feel.

Pants wise I'm about a 36 waist but while I found the waist was snug the front pcokets were very tight and along the upper leg/thigh in a medium. Went with the large more leg room and still can adjust the waist inwards(or outwards as the case me be:rolleyes:)

My advice is try it on. They had some in hobby and thecamoshop.ie

I got the Gunfighter Jacket two days ago. I ordered the "M" size which is 120 cm in chest although I'm just 95 cm but I wanted some room for extra layers of clothing. It was unecessary because Helikon (just like Condor) is exaggerating their sizing a little bit (at least when it comes to jackets).

Their catalog doesn't give much info on the measurements but many shops do so. Like this one:

Yeah, I have a gunfighter jacket too... and I found thier small a little larger than I expected... Brilliant kit, but a bit long, and wide.
