Helikon-Tex Launches Chocolate Chip Desert Pattern for 2026
Friday, January 9th, 2026Each year Helikon-Tex introduces a classic camouflage pattern to their line up of modern combat clothing and equipment. For 2026 it’s the US 6-Color Desert Pattern, popularly referred to as “Chocolate Chip” due to its distinctive coloration.
Developed in the wake of the series of the Arab-Israeli conflicts of the 60s & 70s, the pattern was based on research conducted in the US southwest with its rocky desert environment rather than the vast sand dunes of the Arabian peninsula.
This logic explains its distinctive construction: six colors and very specific “chips.” The base is a light sand color, overlaid with a slightly darker shade (sand with a faint greenish tone), plus two browns—light and dark—and white, intended to represent pale pebbles. Finally, black appears as the “shadow” of these small elements. Hence the nickname “Chocolate Chip,” because the arrangement of white and black specks reminded many people of chocolate pieces in a cookie.
As in years past, Helikon-Tex will integrate this pattern into some great modern designs such as the Boonie, Anorak and Shirts seen here.
Look for more details soon.
Arktis Launches Next-Gen Vulcan Jacket V2 in PenCott GreenZone — Best-in-Class Insulation Meets Elite Camouflage
Thursday, January 8th, 2026Arktis, the legendary British tactical gear brand, today announces the release of the Vulcan Jacket V2 in PenCott® GreenZone™, now available worldwide via the Arktis online store and authorized dealers.
Building on the acclaimed Vulcan platform, the Vulcan Jacket V2 delivers enhanced performance for operators and outdoor professionals who demand exceptional warmth, comfort, and concealment in challenging environments. Designed as a lightweight, packable insulating mid-layer, the V2’s refinements are the result of extensive user feedback and field testing.
Advanced Thermal Performance — Zero Bulk
Featuring premium PrimaLoft® Gold insulation, the Vulcan Jacket V2 balances thermal efficiency with breathability even when wet. With 100 gsm of insulation in the body and 60 gsm in the arms, the jacket delivers core warmth without unnecessarybulk. Its streamlined form enables the jacket to pack down into its own pocket — ideal for mobile operations, expeditions, or everyday carry.
User-Driven Design Enhancements
The V2 features newly added mesh-gusseted pit zips for rapid ventilation during high exertion, plus optimized pocket placement for faster access to essentials. Large front pockets offer dual-zip openings and internal compartments sized for mobile devices or comms gear. Concealed adjustment points ensure secure storage without interfering with weapons handling, while an adjustable hood offers complete coverage control.
Water-Resistant and Durable
Constructed with a windproof, water-resistant Nylon MiniRipouter and finished with a DWR coating, the Vulcan Jacket V2 is built to withstand adverse conditions without restricting movement or performance.
PenCott® GreenZone™ — Elite Camouflage Technology
The new Vulcan Jacket V2 is offered in PenCott® GreenZone™, one of the most effective multi-environment camouflage designs available today. Unlike other popular prints, PenCott® patterns use a hybrid 3-in-1 geometry that blends macro, midi, and micro elements to deliver exceptional concealment across close, mid, and long distances.
The omni-directional design orientation also combines depth, natural tones, and shape-disrupting features to confuse visual detection and help the wearer blend into real-world terrains more naturally and effectively than many traditional disruptive patterns — especially in verdant mixed vegetation environments.
Availability & Pricing
The Arktis Vulcan Jacket V2 — PenCott® GreenZone™ is now available for purchase online at the official Arktis store and through authorized dealers.
