The shorts are supposed to be practical, but it's hard to find the right size. In general, this model is different from others, for example UTS, and the size you usually wear may not fit in these shorts. But thanks to the store's express delivery, it's possible to find the right size.
Greyman Tactical shorts are constructed from the robust DuraCanvas fabric, a composite of cotton, polyester, and elastane fibers. An ergonomically designed gusset in the crotch area promotes unrestricted movement, ensuring enhanced comfort during any activity.
Generous pockets and a discreet, low-profile look combine for both comfort and functionality. Ideal for daily wear, these shorts are capable of carrying all essential EDC gear.
A total of nine pockets add to the practical functionality of these shorts:
- two standard hip pockets
- one slim pocket integrated within the right front pocket
- two compact open front pockets
- four back pockets
An adjustable wide Velcro tab at the waist, a robust YKK zipper fly, and broad belt loops suitable for belts up to 50 mm wide complete the design.

Very solid shorts, well made, comfortable, lots of pockets that don't stand out. Suitable for everyday wear as well as outdoor activities. Very practical. Even stretchable but not too elastic. I recommend paying attention to the sizing (I buy Helikon t-shirts and fleeces in size M, but I had to exchange these shorts for size XL – 82 kg and 179 cm).
-
Well-made, comfortable shorts for warmer days. A satisfactory number of pockets. The phone pocket needs some refinement to make it harder to lose the phone. A flap like in the SFU Next pants would solve the problem.
-
Very nice, practical, and good-looking shorts. The color is actually like in the photos. For me, with measurements 185/87, size L fits perfectly. They're said to be "tactical" but they really look good and you can wear them not only to the forest :) On the downside, there were a lot of loose threads that I had to trim.
-
The shorts are very comfortable. Big plus for the elastic insert in the waistband, which allows the trousers to adjust when sitting down. The material is resistant to abrasion. I recommend them.
-
Well-made and well-cut shorts; good material. Comfortable, with plenty of pockets to fit everything. Just right for hikes and walks. I recommend them.
-
The shorts run narrow. I'm 195cm/115kg, waist 110, took XXL and they are a tight fit, I would even consider a bigger size but the jump in waist size is about 6cm so quite a lot. Comfortable, the material looks fine, I don't know what the previous reviewers were writing about but I didn't notice any stretch. Maybe that's how 2% elastane works.
-
The pants are well made and the color is also nice. The material is quite stiff and almost non-stretchy. Sizing – something is off because L should be fine but these are a bit tight, and I suspect XL would be too big. At the promotional price, it's a good choice.
-
Supposedly nice shorts, but they're not very practical. I mainly miss the cargo pockets. The material is brilliant, feels very strong, yet is flexible. Because of their cut, you need to take a size up – I bought the same size as UTS, which fit perfectly, but could barely squeeze into these. All in all, return – Helikon has better shorts.
-
Luxurious shorts, I own 3 colors of the long version and really appreciate both the cut and DuraCanvas material. Unfortunately, I blindly took size XL and for the first time with Helikon I have to exchange for XXL. I just sent them back (kudos to Militaria.pl for free returns). Beware of small sizing, the shorts are excellent.
-
Well tailored, fit nicely, strong material, lots of pockets. Everything that shorts with a military Greyman look should have. Lots of thoughtful pockets, very dark color, they seem slightly tighter and better fitted than the long leg versions. I recommend them.
-
The shorts are well-tailored, with a thoughtful pocket layout and nice material. In my opinion, I would consider taking a size larger than for conventional tactical, i.e. non-covert, pants like the greyman concept, because the pockets are "inward", so when you fill them, they become tighter.
-
Great shorts. This is the second pair I have bought; the previous ones are green. Helikon's material works well for many activities. I use the shorts every day, for outdoor trips and in the mountains. I highly recommend them!
-
The functionality of Helikon pants/shorts is amazing to me. I don't want any others. These look completely ordinary but the pocket arrangement is outstanding. Everything is in its place and easily accessible.

My favorite shorts, I have 3 colors, all are great, good material and even better cut, I recommend them!
