The trousers are well made and well tailored - I'm saying this as a woman. Size S - Long fits great, they are not baggy and are well fitted at the waist, which also improves comfort. The functionality and number of pockets is also a plus.

I already own a pair of these trousers in the desert-night pattern and I am very satisfied with them. The front pockets are a bit small, but they still serve their purpose. The quality of workmanship is high. The size also matches the description.
-
The pants perform excellently in the field. Thanks to the numerous pockets, ventilation—which is rare in this type of pants—and the elastic "stretch" material, the pants are perfect for a variety of outdoor tasks.
-
The trousers are very well made, with a thoughtful cut and functionality. They fit very well and are definitely less baggy than some other Helikon models. The size is okay, the only thing missing for me is the M-short size, which would be perfect for me. 5/5
