#descattys Been eyeing up the Matilda Pack by Helikon Tex so i bit the bullet and purchased one my first impression Etsy Shop link: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Descatty...
Those are very nice quality bags, very well thought out and made.... helikon is not very well known in the U.S but I'm always impressed with the gear i order from them.
I have often looked at these packs but compared to my karrimor sabre 45 at with side pouches it’s no Mach for what I can carry. But still a good pack. 👍🏻👌🏻
Looked like a good camp Des. I’ve not long received the Matilda pack. Like it so far & looking forward to testing it properly. I think the E&E pouches definitely help take it to the next level. Look forward to seeing how you get on with it!
G,Day Des , enjoyed your review of the Matilda , I am actually expecting my Matilda in the post in about 4 days and really looking forward to getting it , a long time in the making to for me . I also have the Bergen , amongst quite a few other items in the Helikon Tex menu and really love it all , good kit at a fair price . Thanks for the review Des , Cheers Mate , 👍🇦🇺🙂
They are an excellent pack. 35 litre. Easy to add pouches. Will be good to hear what you think of it after a few months. I really like mine. Stay safe.
Nice pack! I have had my eyes on it, but I don´t like the padding on the Helikon Tex shoulder pads. I have a Helikon Tex Raccoon MkII pack (20L) and it has the same shoulder pads. All good for a 20L pack but you know, the more space, the more you put in! For those types I rather look at Direct Action (Helikon Tex higher tier), or First Tactical. Iam fine with the rest of Helikon Tex gear, got plenty of pouches and clothing from them. Pentagon Tactical makes some good gear too. Cheers Des!
I like the look of this Pack too and I tried to get one for free from Helikon (me being a poor Pensioner), but they weren't having it, miserable gits. I reckon it is a modern version of a Mid sized ALICE. I can't remember now whether or not it is framed as I was going through your video rather quickly as time to put the Chickens to bed and walk and feed the dogs.
Evening mate 👍😁. What's the shooting mate. An the bag looks OK but they is something about it... But hell if it works, it works lol. Nice one mate. Will you be running with it??. Tc Andy 😁👍🇬🇧😎
