Waxed finish gives it a better look 👍🏻 Thanks for the review bro glad to see you back

[ScoutManSteve]

I've had my eye on this jacket for a while, but like you point out the lack of waterproofness and feeling the wind puts me off. It's a shame because I like helikon stuff. Congratulations on the 1K mate 👍

Using my one for cycling.
It’s actually a really great jacket for cycling as it has a breathable back and with the massive side vents has a lot of breathability.
While the front still protects the body with the sides fully zipped

Looks like a great jacket mate. I always liked the waxed look. Also congrats on the 1K subs!

[OutdoorsmanDave]

Andy you did a cracking job of that demonstration. I don’t think we would have those available in New Zealand but that colour actually really suits you, well done.

Excellent work!! Congratulations reaching 1k !! 👍

[MilPicJapan]

So, how is it holding up after this time ?
Appreciate the heads up as well as the info on the wax.
( I use the Pilgrim, damn warm, and I was thinking to wax it )

Excellent review, great talking points. All other reviwers should take note..

[OneLifeOverland]

Hi buddy, great review and thanks for the shout out. I do love my Pilgrim lots! The biggest downside for me is its not a day to day kind of jacket because I would defo wear it all the time I find it that comfortable. And congrats again on hitting 1k 👌

Fortis also do a decent smock, I think it's called the recon smock had one handed to me and I've hammered it and it's still going strong.
Nice review by the way and very decent pit zips on that too.

I think the coyote colour looks best anyway.
Would be interested to see the waxing process as this is something I'd certainly consider

I liked it at first impression, but now that I think about it...a jacket that's wind resistant instead of windproof...and no water protection...it's probably resistant to certain extent. But I believe there are better options out there. It's not the cheapest jacket in the world as well....

[TINYNumismatics]

Hey, Buddy. Great looking jacket. If they made them in fat man sizes I might get one...LOL CONGRATS on the 1K subs BTW.... I knew it wouldn't be that long before you hit it.

[Myhradventure]

Peace out bro 😄. Yeah I'm still waiting, it's been a month now! It's in a warehouse in Essex but the excuse is still 'due to brexit complications...'. If I get it this week I'll wear it on my bivvy camp I'm hoping to do this weekend 👍. Yours is looking awesome. Keep well, J 😊

Fyllraven no 8 for a third of the price?

[originknives]

Thanks for the review, mine arrived yesterday but I’m going to need a bigger size unfortunately. Are you still wearing this one year on or have you moved on to something else, if so why?

Something that may be of interest to you is a traditional waterproofing method using beeswax and boiled linseed oil. It’s very durable and you just paint it on. Survival Russia gives the “recipe” on one of his vids.

Nice review. I have been thinking of getting one of these and found your video when trying to determine what size I would like. Seems like it would be better if it did not have that stretchy fabric on the back though if it compromises the wet weather protection... it is a big compromise for the wet weather?

[MiscMitz]

Great looking jacket! Just wondering though, what is a "jumper"? We call they one peice shorts/shirt girls wear in the summer a jumper or romper. Pretty sure that is not what you are wearing. Lol

[LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Cracking review I really like that jacket but not being wind proof or water proof puts me off I use a Ridgeline smock that's warm windproof and waterproof but it's not spark proof atvb jimmy 😎😎

[jamescrittendon]

Thanks I will make it work.i like the jacket .but I think I will be look at the p
