Giena Tactics Clothing Range

Giena Tactics Clothing Range

Once upon a time, the thought of buying tactical kit from Eastern Europe would probably have been the last thing on your mind, but innovation in design coming from the region is right up there with the best of them these days! What I have come to love most in terms of airsoft gear etc. is the kit coming from new companies forming throughout Eastern Europe, and indeed Russia itself, and I find myself turning more and more regularly to these manufacturers. If I look at my own kit, it now incorporates nylon gear from Poland and Croatia, along with clothing and gear from Slovenia, and damn good kit it is too!

Making contact

At the beginning of this year, I finally had chance to speak directly to Sergey from Giena Tactics, who I’d been ‘speaking’ to online for some time; Giena Tactics, based in Novosibirsk, are a private company specialising in modern tactical uniforms, equipment and performance clothing. In development and manufacture, they focus on quality, comfort and functionality. All products that they develop are created in line with specialist users and are tested in the most hostile conditions; let’s face it, Russia certainly has some harsh environments to choose from!

The garments and equipment that are finally created meet the highest standards demanded by Giena Tactics.

Giena Tactics now offer a wide range of products for professional and private use, including combat shirts and tactical pants, field uniforms, parkas, caps and boonies, equipment for snipers, along with military style urban pants and jackets. They now ship their products worldwide and are they are worn daily by users both professional and civilian.

Impressive!

Giena Tactics now have a really solid and comprehensive range of clothing and equipment available, and their designs appear to be constantly dated to incorporate new ideas and new, interesting directions. In addition to some solid uniform Shirts and Pants, they offer some great Combat Shirts, currently five models.

Their new Raptor shirt and pant combo really caught my eye. The Raptor shirt is Giena’s latest combat shirt design and features some of their latest tweaks, including reinforced shoulders, low-profile sleeve pockets with velcro panels, and close-fitting arms with integrated padding. The knitted, wicking fabric on the torso gives a great, comfortable fit and prevents the shirt pulling up and out of the trousers. The pant is equally impressive; the main feature is the integrated knee protection.

It’s light, comfortable and protects from direct impacts very well indeed. This model uses wide velcro in all adjustment areas, allowing for an excellent fit. I will say there’s a bit of a ‘Crye’ feel to the shirt and pant, but the devil as always is in the detail, and the placement of adjustments is enhanced to give the very best fit possible!

Headgear

In addition to the RAPTOR gear, I also got in a ballcap, and Giena’s take on the classic ‘SAS Boonie’, which is a bit of a favourite of mine, especially for summer wear. Made from a strong ripstop fabric, the ‘Sniper’ variant has a smaller 45mm brim (the classic boonie is 70mm), four side vents and loops woven into the sides for leaves and branches. There’s an adjustable, retained cord for precise fitting, and an additional grid over the crown for further camouflage options. Of course, I also wanted an up-to-the-minute helmet option and went for the Ops-Core Professional Plus helmet cover; made for a genuine Ops-Core lid, this can be a bit of a struggle to fit to some airsoft replicas but it’s well worth the effort! It’s designed to fit real Ops-Core Fast, Sentry and similar models and securely attaches with Velcro tabs and the rail bolts. There are velcro and loops to attach additional accessories and gear, but one feature I truly love is the rear pocket, with removable organiser for batteries/counterweights; if you’re going to use NV gear, then this is absolutely spot on!

I have to say that I am absolutely delighted with the gear that I’ve received from Giena and keen to get it out to a game soon; the fabrics are cutting-edge, the cut and fit on the clothing is exactly right, and the finish to everything is of the very highest standard throughout.

Giena Tactics are currently searching for a UK partner, but in the meantime for more information and to view the entire range please take a look at http://gienatactics.ru.
