Review for model:

The shorts are made from high-quality material, although it is a bit stiffer than in other Helikon-tex pants I own. They have a bigger and wider cut and are longer—in contrast to my other shorts, they reach a few centimeters below the knee. I really like the numerous pockets, and thanks to the wider fit, you can load them with quite a lot. The downside is the straps at the waist—they can dig into the hips under a belt, and when shifted, they hang loosely. Additionally, the belt loops are slightly thinner than in other pants from this brand. The shorts are available at a great price, and the shipment arrived very quickly.

Since I already have black trousers, I decided to buy a second pair in a different color. They are very comfortable and really worth recommending. There's really nothing more to add.

The pants fit very well, and I also like the use of ripstop material as reinforcement. So far, I've only tried them on at home, but the warmer season is approaching, so I hope they will be perfect.

I don't even remember how many pairs of Helikon BDU shorts I've worn out. I don't care about being true to the original; for me, they're ideal because of the pockets—the perfect everyday shorts for warm weather.

Great shorts. Solid, pleasant-to-touch material, well made. Sizing matches what's in the chart, flawless workmanship, good price.

The pants are of great quality, seem to be resistant to abrasion, comfortable, color matches the one in the pictures, the sizing also corresponds to the website, spacious pockets and a good cut. I always try them on before buying. That way I'm sure. I recommend!

Comfortable and solidly made with no defects. Plus, two large side pockets. Very comfortable pants, easy to find my size, they seem to be resistant to abrasion.

Good workmanship, solid material, very comfortable. They work well both while hiking and cycling. Another Helikon product I'm very satisfied with.

Very good quality (not surprising, it's Helikon). Very good material, colors as in the photo. High quality and durable. I definitely recommend it.

The shorts are quite long (as in the pictures). The quality of workmanship is what you would expect from Helikon. Vibrant woodland camouflage colors, sturdy material, everything fastened with buttons (including the fly). Initially a bit artificial/stiff to the touch, but after washing they become more pleasant and softer. At this price I think it's worth it.

The material is sturdy, a bit stiff at first but that's a plus because you can feel it's not a thin rag. The colors are nice and vibrant. Sewn carefully, no threads are coming loose. The cut is classic and simple. The size matches the chart, but you should know the cut is wide so I don't recommend taking a larger size—stick to your waist measurement. For the price of 90.99, it's an excellent product.

Great quality of stitching (no loose threads, etc.) and materials, Helikon's woodland is identical to the M81 from the US Army – same colors and spot patterns. The sizing runs a bit big – I normally wear XL but here I bought LR and the pants fit perfectly – if I gain weight they'll be too tight :-) So I agree with previous reviews. Generally, at this price, there's no competition.

Very good quality, solid material. These are not typical BDU, although very similar. There are additional pockets under the cargo pockets, where the opening is at the top of the cargo pocket flap, which wasn't present in BDU pants. Another positive change I noticed is a slightly different cut for the side pockets. The opening aligns with the vertical seam at a greater angle. The change is minor, but thanks to it, things finally stopped falling out of my pockets when I sit, for example, in a car.

The shorts are perfectly fine. I have no quality or visual complaints. Used a few times. Definitely recommend for summer or hot days.
