Helikon-Tex Pilgrim Trousers - Black

Durable trousers for outdoor tasks, made from robust and flexible DuraCanvas fabric. This material can be additionally waxed to enhance its water resistance. The design with a slightly raised back ensures better protection of the kidneys from cold and wind.

8 functional pockets

The trousers feature a total of eight pockets:

  • two hip pockets with reinforced edges
  • two spacious cargo pockets
  • two pockets located between the cargo and hip pockets
  • two dedicated slots for a folding knife or multitool

The large cargo pockets on the thighs are equipped with button fastenings, and their interior is lined with mesh for better air circulation when the pockets are open. The pockets between the cargo and hip pockets are closed with YKK zippers.

Waist and leg circumference adjustment

The hook and loop fastener allows for easy fitting adjustment. Noteworthy features include the leg circumference adjustment, subtle attachment points for braces, and wide loops accommodating belts up to 40 mm wide. Loops on the sides facilitate attaching additional equipment, for example, using a carabiner.

Internal knee pad pockets

The trousers feature special pockets for internal knee guards, which are compatible with Low Profile Protective Pads, ensuring joint protection during fieldwork.

    I placed an order, paid for it, and the package arrived lightning fast. I have already impregnated the black part (knees and back). I'm taking them on my first trip to the forest on Friday. I have plenty of pockets, which suits me very well. The material is incredibly durable, which is very important to me. There's no need to hesitate – bought, so it's time for an adventure. See you on the trail!

    The trousers are versatile with ample carrying capacity, comfortable and durable, and offered at a very good price. The size matches the reference chart perfectly.

    These are my favourite trousers for bushcraft and mountain hiking. This is already the second pair of this model that I own. The eight pockets make it easy to carry quite a lot of things with you.

    Size: M Long

    My favourite trousers; this is already my second pair. With the kangaroo pocket, they’re incredibly comfortable. The pocket openings and reaching into them can sometimes be a bit awkward, but that way I definitely won’t lose anything. The black parts get dirty very quickly. The material is just as good as that of my G1000 jacket.

    Size: XL

    These Helikon-Tex trousers have been a delightful discovery for me — much like finding the military.eu website. My interest in outdoor activities has always centred on hiking, yet I’ve always approached it with a prepper mindset. I prefer carrying certain items (torch, penknife, keys, etc.) on my person rather than in a rucksack; after all, you’re more likely to take off or lose your pack during a hike than your trousers. That’s why this style of trousers suits me perfectly, thanks to its design, material quality, and durability. If this approach appeals to you, then the Pilgrim Anorak is probably one of your best options. As for sizing, at 184 cm tall, with a 105 cm waist and weighing 90 kg, the XL fits me perfectly.

    A Helikon classic – durable, functional and comfortable, although I had to lose a few kilograms for them to fit perfectly. The cut is typical for Helikon, intended for people with an average build. They have served me for several years as my main trousers for walking in the forest and so far I haven't noticed any wear or damage. The ventilation is absolutely fine, and the pleated pockets do their job as promised. I have no complaints, I definitely recommend them.

    I've just received these trousers and... what a wonderful surprise when opening my parcel! The trousers fit perfectly (32/32 for 1.70m 71kg), I love the colour, the fact that the back comes up high is, for me, a real advantage. I'm going to order more in different colours. I've always loved fjallraven clothes, but they're overpriced, especially to risk damaging them in the forest, while these trousers have the same composition, the cut is great, and they're very comfortable. A big thank you to Helikon, I'm going to build my own little collection ;-)

    These trousers are excellent, I slid down a cliff for 35 metres and there were no abrasions. I have already conquered several easier and more difficult peaks in them. I also use them as my main trousers for bushcraft. Highly recommended.

    A comfortable and functional outdoor trouser. I also have the Woodsman, but for extended activities, I need more storage space. The Pilgrim provides this perfectly. I specifically wanted a pair of brown trousers. Too many green ones in my wardrobe. 😉 But I’m not a fan of the contrasting colour on the lower legs. It would be nice if the trousers were available in a uniform brown, like the taiga green ones. In short: in brown, an absolute bargain with tried-and-tested fit and top-quality workmanship!

    Another pair of trousers from the Helikonia series has joined my collection. This time I went for a model in two colours. The spacious pockets are very practical. I might decide to buy another colour as well.

    These are yet another pair of Helikon trousers in my wardrobe. They are very comfortable and have lots of pockets. They proved perfect during my first march. Before autumn excursions I plan to buy 2-3 more pairs. I can honestly recommend them.

    After five years, I decided to buy this model of trousers again. Standard trousers don't have as many pockets, and these offer everything I need. I'm already planning another purchase, maybe in a different colour.

    I am very satisfied with the purchase. Leaving aside the cut and pocket arrangement, which are a matter of taste—although nothing bothered me—the most important thing is that the trousers met demanding conditions. I walked through the forest, built a shelter, they were exposed to campfire sparks and various weather conditions (in full sun they became heavy, but that's rather normal for this type of trousers). The positive reviews are well deserved, I really recommend them.

    Nice trousers made from pleasant and durable material. I like the placement of the pockets and their functionality. They look good from all angles. Thank you to Military for the voucher for a discount due to the price drop after purchase.

    The trousers are very well made, with excellent material. As always with Helikon, it's price-quality-appearance. When I ordered them, I already knew that the XS size would be a bit wide below the knee for me, and the legs long, but this is easily fixed by a tailor. I am satisfied with the order.
