    Above all, these shorts are comfortable. The Velcro holds firmly. The arrangement of the pockets is interesting and functional. Everything is at hand. After receiving the first pair, I will definitely order more.

    After many other clothing items from Helikon, it was time for shorts. I have both lengths, both 8.5" and 11". Personally, I prefer the longer variant—they reach just below the knee. The material is thin and breathable, making the shorts very comfortable and lightweight—it's almost like you don't feel them on your body. At the same time, the material is durable, and the shorts are well sewn, which guarantees longevity for many seasons. They have my favorite, best pocket layout that I know from long pants, such as the Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas. In addition, there is a very large selection of color versions—something missing from other Helikon clothing items. What more could you want? Just get them and use them!

    Size: XL

    The shorts are solidly made and have functional pockets. The cut and sizing are a bit strange, though. They could be a little looser in the crotch or have a higher rise. For the declared size, however, they are quite tight.

    Size: XXL

    Interesting shorts, they handled the heat well. There are plenty of pockets and they are useful, although I missed some extra small ones next to the main pockets, like in a few other Helikon trouser models. Any downsides? - strange sizing. The XXL fits very tightly at the waist and seat, whereas I wear XL in SFU/Next and those are loose. - they could have a higher rise, or possibly some kind of back yoke; when bending over, it gets uncomfortably close to the "plumber’s crack".

    These pants are really amazing. This is already my second pair of this model, this time I chose khaki ripstop for hot days. The price after the promotion was very favorable. As usual, express delivery, I definitely recommend it.

    I have already bought these shorts in grey, beige/sand, and woodland colors, and now I have added the olive version to my collection. The shorts are very well made, have practical and well-placed pockets, are breathable, and dry quickly. As always, I am fully satisfied with my purchases at militaria – lightning-fast order processing and complete reliability!

    I have 88 cm in hips, 94 cm in waist, 178 cm tall and weigh 78 kg. These pants fit me perfectly, as if they were made especially for me, mainly thanks to the Velcro fastenings and Versa stretch material. They are also very sturdy and meet my requirements as work shorts. They meet all expectations – they have D-rings and excellently arranged pockets.

    Great shorts (I have the 11"), very comfortable to wear, airy and durable. The Husar Range Belt 2.0 inner belt fits inside, so you can easily wear them to the shooting range :-D The shorts reach (just a little) below the knee - they also have asymmetrically shaped legs to additionally cover the knee. Highly recommend! One note - I suggest ordering a size smaller than indicated in the chart.

    Short, comfortable, and well-fitted shorts, perfect for hot days, with plenty of practically placed pockets. I already have the long version of these pants, which I really like, so I also bought the short ones in gray and coyote colors.

    The shorts are short, loose, and fit great, perfect for hot days. They have many functional and well-placed pockets. I also have the long version of these pants, which I really appreciate, so I decided to buy the shorts in a different color as well.

    For a long time, I admired them with delight, then I decided on size "M" – it fit perfectly. The shorts are fantastic, I recommend them to every fan of this brand and style! The shipment from Poland to Dnipro arrived within a week.

    Great trousers. Comfortable, lots of pockets. Size M is perfect for someone with a 90 cm waist and 178 cm height. The Velcro fastening is really brilliant.
