As long as we’re talking (or in this case, writing) about Helikon-Tex tactical clothing, we should probably also mention their new Greyman Tactical Jeans – Denim Mid, which we first mentioned in our piece after SHOT Show 2019, albeit very briefly. Now, we’re going to focus on them, and show you some a good video demo of them (see below). Matt Sampson of Helikon-Tex was kind enough to take us through the new jean at SHOT Show 2020, and we really liked what we saw.
The Helikon-Tex Greyman Tactical Jeans are made from a “real deal denim fabric” that’s indigo-dyed, and they sport pockets on both front-sides and actual sides (“mid pockets”) and specifically designed to hold 30-round AR rifle mags (AR-15 rifle magazines) securely, while still allowing very fast, convenient access to them if/when trouble hits, and it’s go time. Any of the AR mag pocket will also hold your cell phone or a pistol mag securely, as well. The jeans also have two true back pockets that are large, and appear to be deep.
For optimized mobility and durability, Helikon-Tex has added a crotch gusset. Combining the crotch gusset with stretch denim should also make the jeans extremely comfortable.
By the way, if you’re wearing a Helikon-Tex Trip Shirt (or any decent-length button-down shirt, for that matter), all the AR mags will be concealed under the shirt, weather you’re wearing the shirt open or closed.
Helikon-Tex is currently in the process of developing a slim-fit version of the Greyman Tactical Jeans. Defense Review will try to find out when this variant will be available. In the meantime, enjoy DR’s video below.
