The shorts are quite ok, but the manufacturer decided to change the sizing... I wear Helikon UTP pants in size L and they fit perfectly, but these in size L are too small! I had to return them.

Lightweight and comfortable. Size M for 181/80 is perfect with some room to spare. Very good workmanship quality. Lots of pockets, maybe I won't use the back ones, but the phone fits in the front pocket without any problem. Interesting model of shorts, I recommend it.

I bought these shorts for everyday use and trips outdoors. They fit very well, the material is comfortable and gives great freedom of movement. The large number of pockets is practical, and the Helikon-Tex workmanship, as always, is of a high standard. Even after wearing them for a long time, they still look good and are among my favorite shorts.

As always, excellent quality! I already own several pairs of Helikon shorts, they're the only ones I wear on vacation! My waist is 98 cm and I chose size XL – they're a bit wide in the waist, but I prefer the rest of the shorts to be wider than in size L. I like slightly looser styles. The number of pockets is perfect, I use them all! :D

The shorts are great, and the added elastic throughout the fabric makes them easier to use. The style hasn't changed. The pockets are roomy, but it would be helpful to make the ones with Velcro a bit bigger, so you could easily fit those big modern phones in them completely, not just barely. But rifle magazines fit without any problems 😀 I recommend this purchase, just like most products from this company 😀

Super product, I am very satisfied with the purchase and use. The material and workmanship are really top-class. The price is affordable, which is a plus. I recommend it, it's worth it.
