Modern and lightweight, carefully made. Size XXL is rather closer to XL. The legs are quite short. There is a wide, comfortable Velcro strap. The color of the shorts matches the picture. Thank you for a high-quality product!

The sizing is for women with slim waists. The shorts have a very nice cut and materials, but my wife had to return them—despite her petite build, she had a bit of a 'belly' left after pregnancy and couldn't fasten them.
-
Helikon maintains its usual quality. A reputable Polish company that designs with meticulous attention and uses excellent quality materials. The shorts are very light yet durable, but time will tell how long they last. They do not restrict movement and have plenty of pockets. They are perfect for mountain hiking. I recommend this high-quality product.

As always with Helikon, the shorts are great. The colors and functionality are top-notch, of course, and my wife wears them excellently in the mountains, but they are also good for the city.

The shorts were bought as a gift. They were immediately well liked and put to use right away :):) Good sizing, nice color, and material. The person who received them is very pleased.

My wife says these are the best and most acceptable shorts she has ever received as a gift. Perfect for cycling or hiking. The material is solid and breathable, and so far it hasn't lost its color. So for now, everything is perfectly OK.

My wife claims these are the best and most acceptable shorts she has ever received as a gift. Perfect for biking or hiking trips. The material is sturdy and breathable, and so far it hasn't lost its color. So, for now, it's definitely OK.

Great shorts for holiday walking and cycling excursions. The material is a little rustly and I was afraid it wouldn't be breathable, but after two hours in the saddle everything was fine. Good cut, clever pockets that can fit the essentials like a phone, keys, and more. They fit well, don't restrict movement, and at a height of 170 cm and a weight of 55 kg I also chose size M. I think these will be my favorite shorts.
-
Lightweight and stretchy pants. Size M fits 175cm and 63kg. Nothing has torn yet with a jumping dog, hopefully they will last as long as possible :) Very good for this price.

My wife is satisfied (and that's priceless). Helikon maintains its standards—as always. A Polish, reliable company, designing down to the smallest details and using good materials. Delivery as stated on the website—the next day.

Bought as a gift for my wife - she is satisfied. They are very light, yet durable, and time will tell how long-lasting they are. They don't restrict movement, there are plenty of pockets. They work well in the mountains.
