Size: L Long

Well-made Helikon trousers at a reasonable price. They really are a bit narrow, so I suggest choosing one size larger. The black ones look elegant, and you can easily wear them with a T-shirt and go into town. The pockets are spacious and well placed.

The cut of these trousers is similar to the Pentagon BDU 2.0, but those, with a 35% cotton / 65% polyester blend, are only moderately comfortable in higher temperatures. These, with a 50/50 composition, should be better. Although if they had more cotton, around 60%, they would be ideal. But they are not bad. As for sizing, either try them on or buy one size larger, as the measurements here seem to run a bit small. Or look for a different type of trousers.

I have the BDU mk2 and I must say that this slimmer cut suits me better. But that is a subjective matter. In summary, the BDU mk2 trousers are basically regular BDU pants, only a bit slimmer and with an additional small pocket. The Woodland color is fine, and the quality is good as well. There could be more cotton, in a 60% to 40% polyester ratio.

The previous model was better; it had two very convenient hidden pockets, for example for a phone, and wider pockets, the main ones. In the new ones, I can't put my hand in. The only plus of the new model is the wider belt loops.

This is already my second pair of these pants because I really liked the previous ones. This time I ordered them in gray. The pants are solidly made, as always of great quality. They have a very loose fit. At my height of 177 cm and slender figure, I chose size M, which I would describe as wide or baggy.

The trousers stand out for their solid workmanship and wearing comfort. They have large pockets, an adjustable waist, and are made of a material that dries quickly, which I consider a huge advantage. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

The pants are a good size, they don't fit too tightly and they're not too loose. I recommend them for warm days because the material is exceptionally light. Unfortunately, the pockets are shallow, which disappointed me. I also have some concerns about the durability of the buttons, but time will tell.

The trousers are well made and present a standard level of craftsmanship. They seem durable and should last for a long time. These are classic BDU trousers with a very loose fit. I am 177 cm tall, slim, and I chose size M, which is quite wide and comfortable for me.

The trousers are durable and comfortable, which allows for effective action. Very good price in relation to the quality and comfort of the item. There are drawstrings at the ends of the legs, which allow you to tie the ends of the trousers so that nothing gets underneath.

The Helikon BDU MK2 pants are a good quality product. Compared to the SFU NEXT MK2, which I have been using for about 3 years, these have better designed hip pockets, making them fully functional. However, the material is somewhat stiffer (no elastane in the composition). The cut is a bit more spacious than the aforementioned SFU NEXT MK2. Since the previous pair handled several years of continuous use without any problems, there's no need to worry about durability. My only complaint is about the sizing. Helikon gives the same size chart for both models, while Militaria has two different ones, and I think the ones on the Militaria site are more accurate. I wear size L. The SFU NEXT MK2 was perfect, while the BDU MK2 was about 3 cm too long, but that's an easy fix. Apart from that, these pants are perfect for everyday use, the forest, and the mountains. I recommend them.

Decent trousers, they seem durable and very well made. They have large, roomy pockets and a great solution with drawstrings at the waist. My favorite trousers and I will definitely buy them in another color. I recommend them.

I really like Helikon, but these pants are, in my opinion, a total failure. The material and workmanship are okay, but the cut is so strange that you can't wear them! I have been wearing BDU for over 20 years, first MIL-TEC, then TESAR, and various other brands—the quality varied, but they were always comfortable pants. But these from Helikon are a disaster, and I don't understand the lack of a flap on the fly.

This is already my third pair of BDU MK2 pants. I've been wearing the other two pairs since 2022 and I'm very satisfied. No abrasions, nothing is tearing or coming apart. The color hasn't faded either. The size also matches the chart. I recommend them.

I bought them for work, Carhartts tear easily but these don't. Additionally, there is a small pocket perfect for pens, etc. All this comes with a cut that is loose and comfortable, and at the same time looks good.
