HELIKON PCU review S8 PMC

Dear friends,

Publication of this review is a little delayed. We received Helikon-Tex ® PCU last December, but there has not been an opportunity to test it in the battlefield. So after a very wintry Talwisota game, we publish our findings on the Helikon’o PCU.

PCU is in our company’s mandatory accoutrements list. It is a short and fairly liberal, but it is good. This year S8 men by combining a mandatory outfit unexpectedly found Helikon produced PCU. We recently received one set, so this article will look at it.
Buying a PCU from Helikon’o straight will cost you ~140 EU. Kit is sold separately, the pants – third generation, the jacket – second.
