    Hi lads,
    Does anyone have any experience with the Helikon ECWCS parkas? Am interested in buying one but am concerned about sizing. It seems that every site I check lists different sizing measurements. Are the parkas cut for a loose fit like the PCS windproof smocks, or are they more fitted? Should I go with my own size, or a size down? Don't want to have to waste money on postage if the fit is wrong.
    Thanks for any help that anyone provides.

    It would be best to go by the size chart on Helikon's website (all in centimeters):


    GEN 1 = https://helikon-tex.com/#!/Waterproof/IGen/KU-EC1-NL

    GEN 2 = https://helikon-tex.com/#!/Waterproof/IIGen/KU-EC2-NL

    GEN 3 = https://helikon-tex.com/#!/Waterproof/IIGen/KU-EC2-NP


    GEN 1 and 2 appear to be the same sizes, GEN 3 appears to be different from the first two GEN's

    Also, The Camo Shop near Phoenix Park in Dublin stock Helikon and maybe able to help further with the sizes :)

    Thanks SEALs,
    Had looked at that website already, which caused some of the confusion. Have also trawled eBay with some success...had a few replies to messages. Was hoping to hear from someone on here who had one of these jackets to get an honest opinion/review, and advice about sizing. Have read reviews which advise sizing down, have also read others which state stick to your own size. Is that because of the different styles? Or they are just large fitting anyway.

    anyhow, the help is much appreciated, so thanks again SEALs.
