I managed to buy the last available pair in this size, the trousers fit perfectly and are very comfortable to wear. They have many practical pockets and plenty of belt loops, which means they hold well when using a belt. The legs are spacious, so they will be good for people with bigger thighs, though they might not be the most comfortable for lounging or walking around the house. However, they're excellent for outdoor activities. I'm eagerly looking forward to using them in various weather conditions as they have an outer water-resistant layer and a nice, muted camouflage pattern that, from a distance or even up close, just looks like a light or moderate green—an ideal solution for those who don't like flashy prints. The parcel arrived very quickly and at an attractive price, better than some competing stores like Military1st, which I've used before.

Camouflage Flecktarn
Flecktarn represents a quintessential German military camouflage pattern, officially adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1990. Composed of small, irregular spots in five distinct colors—commonly dark green, olive, brown, black, and beige—this pattern utilizes an extensive spread of dots with diffused edges, effectively concealing the wearer's outline amidst woodland, shrubland, and forest undergrowth. Engineered specifically for the European climate, particularly the temperate zone, Flecktarn continues to be the standard camouflage for the German armed forces, as well as various military and police units. Its proven effectiveness has inspired a wide range of adaptations and variants across numerous countries.

Nice pants, lots of functional pockets. It would be useful to have more elastic material in some places. It would be better if the side pockets were slanted. Overall, I recommend them.
-
This is definitely one of the best categories! I chose size M at a height of 171 cm and a weight of about 75-80 kg – it fits perfectly. Be sure to check out the promotional video on YouTube, the product is very practical and solid, stretches a little in some places))) I only miss a front pocket for the phone. Great dark camo color))) Thanks to Helikon and the store! It's worth purchasing while the promotion lasts.

I bought the PenCott version of these pants with October hikes in mind. I usually wear jeans size 32/32 or size 40, and these in size M regular fit perfectly at the waist. They are a bit too long, but thanks to the elastic drawstrings at the legs, that's not a problem. The material is very good quality and the craftsmanship is excellent. I can't wait to test them outdoors!
-
The delivery was express, the trousers are of great quality, and the flexibility in the legs and crotch makes them very comfortable. The material is durable, making them suitable for both everyday use and outdoor activities. Numerous pockets make them extremely functional. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.
-
Great trousers. High quality workmanship. Very nice cut, lots of pockets. Delivery, as always, was great. The product is definitely worth recommending.
-
Mega comfort and very high durability. The number of different pockets - amazing Fits very well, but not too tight - the sizing matches the description You can buy with confidence ;)
-
The trousers look very good, and the quality is what you would expect from the Helikon brand. The fabric is practically waterproof, and the cut is really comfortable. I ordered several color versions right away and I like all of them. At 1.90 m tall and 85 kg, size L Long fits perfectly.
-
The trousers are made of very solid and comfortable material. High quality, numerous practical pockets arranged thoughtfully, perfect for demanding use.
-
The model made from NyCo Rip-Stop is exceptionally durable, and the cut guarantees comfort of movement in the field. The pockets are easily accessible even when wearing a battle belt or harness. The RAL 7013 color is a subdued alternative to traditional green, but it works just as effectively in a forest environment. The equipment is durable, handles abrasions and contact with thorns well during prolonged use.
-
They are really excellent! They will work well both for relaxation and at work – it's a good decision. Helikon Tex is a brand that needs no introduction. I also plan to buy the MBDU jacket.
-
In my opinion, these pants are really fantastic. They seem to be very well made, and are extremely comfortable to wear, even during intense movement or deep squats. They also have plenty of practical pockets, which makes it easy to conveniently store various items. I usually buy clothes in size XL or XXL, depending on the cut. In this case, size L turned out to be appropriate. I am 190 cm tall and weigh 85 kg. You could choose XL, but they would then be looser. It's also worth mentioning the very fast order processing!
-
Another pair of Helikon trousers, this model is my first. The trousers were bought for 'outdoor' use and work well in the forest. I always used to buy size XL, but here XXL fit, although the sizing is accurate. A good feature is the drawstring at the legs, which can be adjusted, and the pockets on the legs might come in handy for something someday :).
-
The trousers are really good. They fit great and have well-placed pockets. The inserts made of flexible material make a difference. I wear 34/34 from other brands and these fit as well.
-
They look and wear great! The sizing is as described. Very comfortable pockets. I bought two pairs and they’re excellent. Instant shipping! They actually look better in real life than in the pictures!
