The future is in your hands
Yeah, it’s easy to think about environmental problems as sort of global ones in which any effort made by a single person cannot make a difference, but in reality it’s quite contrary. Those single efforts combine and make a world of difference to keep Nature safe. That’s why Helikon-Tex encourages people to act responsibly, to take care of surroundings and to think beforehand about purchasing new gear.
Choose gear that’ll last years
First step to reduce the amount of stuff finishing its life on the landfill is to produce clothes and gear that’ll last. Durability is not only a marketing slogan – it’s a statement. Helikon-Tex is proud to be a producer to whom the customers regularly say that they have their pants, jackets or backpacks for 5, 6 or even 8 years, and they still work well. That’s the most natural way for a gear manufacturer to take care of Nature.
Fix when broken
It’ll have an enormous impact on the environment if we start to value fixing our stuff more than throwing it away. Some Helikon-Tex products already have their dedicated spare element to be used when someone wants to repair his or hers gear with ease.
That way we can not only save the Planet and some money but have a little fun as well. Some may even try their survival skills while fixing their gear.
Great to see some tactical brands bring up that issue.
That multicam shoulder bag in the last pic — where is that available? Can’t see it on the website?

Their US online store sometime differs between he international. You can still order international but the shipping is higher. The US store seems to be a few months behind on stocking for the international items.
Helikon should lead by example then and stop manufacturing their products in china, one of the worse polluters on the planet let alone all the other serious issues with that country the rest of the world is having to deal with! I’ve been using Helikon for years and like it but now buy UK/EU/US etc made products instead because of this.
