For me, these pants are the discovery of the decade. Literally, because I have been searching for good, and specifically long, summer pants for a long time. The worst I've had were the Columbia Silver Ridge Utility, and these are simply the best, no discussion. The advantages (breathability, flexibility, looks, cut...) are the same as in other reviews, so I won't repeat them. For me, the side pockets on the thighs are great. I have a large smartphone (8x17cm) and it fits perfectly. I have minor complaints, but these are details. I just don't like Velcro as a fastener. Another comment is about the width of the legs. I'm a typical skinny guy, 184cm/75kg. With Helikon, I buy M long and it's almost always a perfect fit, and in the back, almost like tailor-made. L has sometimes been too wide. Here, however, the trousers fit almost snugly in the thighs, which means the legs are narrow. I think summer pants should have slightly looser legs, because it improves airflow... But that's just nitpicking, because they're still great.

I was afraid to wear these pants in the summer due to the heat, but the positive reviews really surprised me! After receiving and trying them on, I was delighted – they are incredibly light and airy... they seem almost transparent when you hold them, and when you wear them, you feel comfort and lightness. They fit the body perfectly and are suitable for any occasion: for work, a walk in the city, or out of town. Truly modern pants. Thank you for the good price and to Helikon for the great quality. At 171 cm tall and weighing 80 kg, I chose size M – it fits perfectly. There is also the option to insert soft pads in the knees – fantastic.

Size: XL Long
Perfect trousers for summer, airy, comfortable, and made of thin material... so thin that I once tore it by catching it on a piece of metal sticking out of a bench. Fortunately, a visit to the tailor saved my trousers, which have been serving me well for almost 2 years.

Just buy them! :D These are finally trousers that actually breathe. I have them in brown and black. They look almost like a dressier model, but they offer more pockets, which is why I prefer them to classic dress pants :D If even your spouse says you look good in them for that kind of style, then it means you've found a really great pair :P

Size: M
Exceptionally light and breathable trousers, with additional ventilation perforations behind the knees and at the back. Comfortable and pleasant, definitely for the summer season. Quick-drying

I bought them with the intention of using them as breathable trekking pants, but they look almost like dress pants, so I'll probably wear them more often on a daily basis. The material is very pleasant to the touch and allows air to pass through really well. They surprised me very positively!

These pants are amazing! Flexible, breathable, soft, and comfortable, with the right amount of pockets. Bonus points for the eyelets for elastic at the bottom of the legs (something Helikon sometimes forgets in some models, but it's a very useful element). One note for buyers: the pants are quite delicate, at least for my use. After two trips to rocky three-thousanders in the Alps, quite a few worn holes appeared. So if you want to scramble over rocks or branches in them, you should choose another model. For all other outdoor uses – an absolute ideal for summer.

This is my third pair of these pants, each in a different color. The pants are amazing for warm days because they are very airy. The only drawback is the limited color range—more colors would definitely increase other people's interest in this product.

The pants are just great. Comfortable, airy, lots of pockets. The only downside is that there isn't a single zipped pocket, which would be handy for a car key, wallet, etc. I have trouble buying pants because of sizing, but at Helikon we can also choose Longs, so there's a great selection for tall people. Good everyday pants.

Perfect pants for summer with a distinctive material. Very nice as everyday wear in the city. Good cut. Low ankle shoes go perfectly with these pants.

The trousers are thin, elastic, and comfortable, so they will definitely work great in the summer. I don't know how they'll perform in winter, but for autumn and spring, they should also be fine.

Helikon Trekking Tactical Pants AeroTech - Black these pants are simply outstanding. Perfect for summer, airy and light. They are suitable for both work, the shooting range, and for a family gathering :)

The trousers are excellent and breathable. The material is very pleasant to the touch, though it does get static. I don't like the pocket arrangement or the lack of typical thigh pockets like cargo trousers, and the color selection is limited to just three. I'm very satisfied with the purchase and will definitely buy another pair in the future.
