emilianoksa Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Is their tactical gear decent quality for airsoft use? How does it compare to say Condor, Flyye, Miltec or Viper? Do any members use either of these two brands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted April 29, 2018 Head Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2018 I have some their clothing and it is fine for real world applications and airsoft. I would say that it is better quality than Condor and Viper kit. The Pentagon Artaxes jacket and Helikon Alpha fleece are good for CQB, bought mine from: https://www.uktactical.com/p-11523-pentagon-k08011-artaxes-sf-jacket-level-v-wolf-grey.aspx http://www.military1st.co.uk/bl-alt-fg-35-helikon-alpha-tactical-grid-fleece-jacket-shadow-grey.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Druid799 Posted April 29, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 29, 2018 Viper’s not even in the same universe let alone the same planet as those two manufacturers ! 😂 Be aware the helikon kit is sized very generously, si you wear a L you’d need a M and so on .👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yeah, they are both good mid-tier brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The broadsman Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Have used a number of Pentagon jackets, the Artaxes SF is rather nice for the money too. Just a note on sizing, i found the jacket to be of a slim cut so just keep that in mind. The quality though are miles ahead of the likes of miltec viper et al.

The broadsman Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes, id agree upping a size would be better if you wear a norgi or anything thicker than a tshirt underneath for colder weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Tackle Posted April 29, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 29, 2018 I've got a few helikon bits, & tend to buy kit that can be used everyday if needed, not just 'softing, & I've got no complaints, & I'm a "plus" size so the generous cut is a bonus, some tactical kit can be an athletic cut, I'd have got away with it 15 years ago but not these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The broadsman Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Uk Tactical do stock a number of Pentagon products, I have never had an issue with returning something due to sizing. Night Gear might be your next port of call for none clothing items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer support from UKT has never been anything less than stellar for me! I have the Artaxes jacket and I like it a lot. I have had to reproof it but I use it pretty much every day! Fit is good, I bought my usual size and it fits me fine with a hoodie underneath. I also have one of their assault packs and their hydration pack. All fine for airsoft/EDC use. Helikon kit is great for the money. If you have no need of FR kit or G3 clones then they're bloody fantastic. I have an old pair of BDUs, a set of SFU Next in M81 Woodland and some denim UTP trousers and they're all great (even if the BDUs have long since gotten to be too big for me *humble brag*).

newsh Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have a pair of the Helikon CPU trousers and whilst the quality is good, they are a very wide fit on the legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
