Size: XL

Very good shorts, but in my opinion the sizes run a bit large. I bought size 36 (XL) and they are definitely too loose at the waist. Apart from that, I am very satisfied with them. A drawstring would be useful so they would stay in place better.

Size: 3XL

Light, comfortable trousers perfect for summer. The inner pocket is useful for smaller items. The patch area is nice, but it could be a little bigger. Trousers worth recommending.

I really liked the Helikon-Tex Utility Light shorts as a summer option for active use. They are light, comfortable, and do not create the same feeling of warmth as thicker tactical models. The material feels pleasant to the touch, dries quickly, and works great for walks, travel, or trips into nature. The cut is standard, nothing presses or restricts movement when sitting, walking, or during longer activity. The pockets are designed practically — they easily fit a phone, keys, a wallet, and other small items that do not get in the way while moving. The Shadow Grey color looks neutral and is easy to match with almost any T-shirt or light shirt. Additionally, I like that the shorts do not have an overly tactical appearance, which makes them suitable for wearing in the city as well. Of course, they will not be suitable for cooler days, but for summer, trips, and active leisure, they are a really very good choice. I am satisfied with them.

Helikon-Tex Utility Light shorts - cool, lightweight, and super versatile shorts! I use them regularly for various workouts and liked them immediately. Unfortunately, the price... that's a huge downside, as I have doubts if they should be that expensive...

Fantastic shorts for hot weather – light, flexible, and packable! The Utility Light shorts are absolutely perfect for summer heat and intense outdoor training. The material is incredibly light and breathable, and thanks to the addition of elastic fibers, the shorts stretch in every direction. They provide full freedom of movement when squatting or walking dynamically. The Mud Brown color looks great, very natural, and perfectly hides small stains outdoors. They are so comfortable that you almost don't feel them on. I definitely recommend them!

The biggest downside is the insufficient number of belt loops, which means the belt doesn’t stay in place as it should when you add some equipment and a weapon to it. If another version were created with more loops, they would be the perfect "work" shorts for the summer.

They are lightweight and very comfortable during hot days and various activities. They stay well on the body, do not restrict movement, and do not cause chafing even after hours of wearing. The fabric is breathable, dries quickly, and does not feel heavy. Their use is intuitive and convenient, without unnecessary extras. They make the clothing unobtrusive, only increasing comfort and control.

Excellent, comfortable, and well-made shorts, perfect for swimming in lakes, the sea, or rivers, as well as for everyday wear in the city or at home. Very fashionable, sturdy, lightweight, with practical pockets. Fantastic shorts!

Super comfortable and practical shorts! The Helikon Utility Light fits well, has plenty of pockets, and is lightweight but durable. Perfect for summer, outdoors, and everyday use.

The shorts are fantastic, I like them very much. They are light and thin but still have zippered pockets and belt loops. Currently, they are my favorite shorts.

Comfortable and cozy shorts, at first I was skeptical because of the price, but they are really worth it. Nice mustard, intense color as usual, express shipping.

Comfortable and cozy shorts. At first, I was skeptical because of the price, but they are definitely worth it. Nice, deep black color and, as always, express shipping.

The shorts are interesting, lightweight, sturdy, and comfortable. I was a bit worried that all those pockets or the short length, which should focus on freedom of movement, might be an issue, but thankfully, those concerns were unnecessary. I recommend them.

Fantastic shorts, the elastic material is brilliant because during my mountain hikes I stretched them several times to a point where other stiff shorts would have already torn. Comfort is key here, and additionally, the zippered pockets are a nice convenience, just like the spot for a patch.

Light summer shorts, currently at a good price during the summer promotion. Very well made. The shorts are quick-drying. I can definitely recommend them for warm days, as well as for any sports or tourist activities.
