These trousers are really fantastic, I recommend them to everyone. They arrived very quickly, after just three days. The quality is great, they are very comfortable, the pockets are spacious, and you can easily adjust the waistband – really an excellent choice!

The material in the black ones is not uniform. All the nyco I've bought were smooth, but these have subtle transverse stripes. The material is thinner than it was in previous years. Hence a small downside.

The trousers are made of durable material and fit very well without restricting movement. Complaints about the cords at the shoes are unfounded because this is the best solution besides Velcro.

The trousers are probably the closest to the original combat ones. Thick material, loose fit. I suggest ordering one size smaller than indicated in the size chart (unless you plan to wear a liner, which is not included). For nyco fabric, they are not that noisy. I am satisfied with the purchase, I recommend them.

The pants are extremely comfortable, the loose fit gives you a lot of freedom of movement. The tapes in the cargo pockets protect well against abrasions when carrying heavy objects or filled pockets (several times I carried a few 250 ml glass bottles in them, and after securing the pants with the tapes around the leg, I walked about 10 km without chafing). I also have contract M65 pants, and right after those, I consider Helikon's pants the best choice. I've been using these pants for more than 10 years daily, outdoors and at work, so I've tested them well and I think they are the best design among military pants I've ever used.

I bought these pants for the first time, but definitely not the last. They are simply brilliant! However, I bought two pairs: woodland and olive, and I have to point out that the woodlands are sewn with a double stitch, which looks better and seems to be just more solid, while the green ones are sewn with an overlock, although they still look stunning. A question for militaria.pl: is there a chance to buy green or black ones sewn with a double stitch in the future? That would be awesome. The woodland fabric seems a bit stiffer (not so stiff that you can't walk in them; nothing compared to, for example, work pants) than the green ones. Finally, a note on size: I am about 188 cm tall and weigh about 86 kg, size M Long fits just perfectly, with a slight extra room at the waist.

These are my first pants of this type. They really have wide legs but are super comfortable. I also ordered them in a camo color and am waiting for them. They will serve me for walking on my ranch and trips to the forest. I recommend them.

It's hard for me to clearly rate this product because for me these are completely different pants than before. This is my third pair of M65s, so I have a comparison. The last pair is significantly different from the previous ones – right from the first second, you can see that the material is completely different. These resemble ordinary 'rags', while the previous ones were stiffer and more resistant – that was real NYCO. The current ones are softer and more breathable. I wouldn't risk kneeling on wet grass in them. Additionally, the distance between the belt loop and the button is different on both sides. I'm keeping them, because they should be OK for summer, but I would prefer to consciously buy such a version at a slightly lower price, instead of being surprised upon delivery. The sizing is OK.

Review for model:

A true classic, indestructible. It's a subjective matter, but for me it's a plus. However, you have to take into account the wide leg cut, the pocket is very roomy and stuffing the entire pocket full does not pull the pants down or cause discomfort, as happens with other models. However, the sizing is oversized. I'm 180 cm tall, 94 cm waist and the size L fits well in the waist and length, though the fit is very roomy, but that's the charm of this model. According to the chart, I should fit XL, so I ordered that and had to exchange it for L. Adjustment in the waist and legs is standard. They're great for everyday use as well as for the forest. They work really well in autumn and winter, and as for summer, time will tell....

I have to buy new ones because unfortunately the old ones got torn. It's weak because after 17 years already, so I don't know, it's a bit embarrassing ;) Seriously, they were used hard and weren't spared, walking, training, pulling. They endured everything.

Great replicas. I've been wearing the originals since the 1980s. The olive green model only lacks the stitching at the back, which is present in both the original and the woodland version. It's a pity, because it's an important detail.

I have already bought four pairs of these trousers over 6 years (2020-2026). To wear them out, you'd have to crawl on stones or concrete for quite a long time – I checked it. So, they are solid. For trips to the forest, they will last for years. You can sit by the fire in them without worry. Even if a spark falls on them, they won't melt in seconds – I tested this by sitting by a campfire and sleeping at a distance of 1–1.3 meters from it. They are also very comfortable and have spacious cargo pockets. Great shade ;) They're perfect for spring, autumn, and mild winters. They're not suitable for summer, though, because the material is too thick for that season. 5 stars with a clear conscience. I recommend them.

Review for model:

The pants are generally great, the sizing seems a bit large to me—I'm 175cm/72kg and took M, and they seem a bit big, but overall I'm very satisfied. The only downside, as mentioned before, is that the pants tend to attract various kinds of lint :P Still, I recommend them!!

Review for model:

For a height of 183 cm, size L fits perfectly. The pants are okay, but can those who remember these pants from the 90s correct me—weren't they made from much thicker and stiffer material back then? Also, I remember that warmers were available for them at that time. So the manufacturer could consider this.

Decent trousers, highly recommend. I think I’ve had the first pair for around 10 years now and they show hardly any signs of wear, they’re indestructible and can handle any conditions. Probably the best contract model copy on the market for a reasonable price. Now I bought the black ones, probably dirt will be more visible, but oh well – these are trousers for hard work. It’s just a pity they’re not made in Poland anymore...
