Since it got warmer, I bought a pair of shorts to match the long pants. Just like the long ones, the sizing is spot on, they are very comfortable to wear, and the camouflage is great. I really like that the material is light and relatively breathable – they are comfortable to wear on warm days. I also consider the length of the legs to be ideal. The price is a bit daunting. Overall, the product is great. I recommend it.
Helikon-Tex UTS PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop 6" Shorts - Black
Tactical UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) in Black, made of high-quality PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric with a 220 g/m2 grammage. The innovative fit, reinforced seams and materials used provide adequate freedom of movement. Thanks to the large number of pockets and their practical layout, this model will perform well both in urban conditions and during outdoor activities.
PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric, 2-Way Elastic technology
The PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric used in production (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane) with a 220 g/m2 grammage was made using 2-Way Elastic technology and is characterised by high elasticity and resistance to abrasion and tearing. It ensures a very good fit of the shorts to the body and full freedom of movement. Reinforcement with the Rip-Stop weave effectively prevents any damage from spreading over a larger area.
10 practical pockets
The model is equipped with ten practical pockets:
- two classic ones at hip level with reinforced edges
- four on the thighs (two wide zippered ones and two narrow hook-and-loop ones)
- four at the back (two wide ones and two narrow ones located inside the wide ones)
elastic tape, wide hook-and-loop fastener
Instead of a button, a wide hook-and-loop fastener allowing adjustment within a range of 6 cm was used. An elastic tape improving the fit of the shorts to the individual body shape was sewn into the waistband.
YKK zips, wide belt loops
All zips were manufactured by the renowned Japanese company YKK. The belt loops allow the use of a belt up to 50 mm wide, and the two front ones were additionally fitted with loops enabling the attachment of e.g. a carabiner.

Great fit and Rhodesian camouflage. The size also fits well, and the best size chart can be found on Military.eu. The trousers are comfortable, breathable, and have the perfect leg length for summer. The pockets are also very well placed. I definitely recommend them!
-
Size: XL
At full price they are quite expensive, although I already have lots of Helikon clothes and in every case the quality is first class (on foreign websites people sometimes complain about it, but I think this problem occurs only in exports ;) ). If there is a promotion, I would buy them without hesitation. Very comfortable and lots of pockets. The zippers work perfectly without any snagging. This model is very short - ideal for the heatwaves that have arrived now. I recommend it.
-
Size: M
Great shorts for warm days. The legs are very short, which in my opinion works perfectly during hot weather. Despite their small size, the practical pockets offer enough space. I wholeheartedly recommend buying them!
-
Great product, very good value for money. Helikon Tex, although not a very well-known company, offers products of really high standards. It fits perfectly, is solid, durable, and very well made. I definitely recommend it. Store service as always at the highest level.
-
Perfect UTS shorts... great fit, excellent side pockets with zippers. Elastic waistband. The Rhodesian camo does its job. I recommend these shorts and Militaria.pl
-
Very good shorts, super comfortable. For a guy with a tactical belly, 3XL is good, although if you load the pockets they start to slide down... you need to tighten them with a belt. In the spring, I'll buy the version with long legs because the desert 6 camouflage is awesome.

I bought them without checking beforehand, relying only on a YouTube video. After receiving the product, I immediately liked it. The trousers are very well made, with numerous pockets – both with Velcro and with zippers, which is extremely practical. Right after my first purchase, I ordered two more pairs in different colors. The sizing is accurate as described – at 183 cm tall and 82 kg in weight, I chose size L. I highly recommend them!

I bought the UTS 6'', 8.5'' and the long version in Rhodesian bushstroke camouflage and have already had the chance to try them out. They are extremely comfortable, very well made, and the camouflage pattern looks fantastic. I would be very pleased if a field shirt in the original cut, preferably with a high cotton content, appeared in the offer – that would be great. I have also used Texar products and am fully satisfied with them. Shipping and the whole process went smoothly. The sizes also match, and since I don't have model-like measurements, I appreciate that even more.

Shorts made of very durable material, after a whole season of use there are no signs of wear. Comfortable and with military design. I can recommend this model.
-
Solid material, can be used in tougher conditions without worrying about damage. The camouflage looks good in person. Comfortable and has plenty of pockets, which is always a plus.
-
I had the long trousers in this camouflage so I bought the shorts as well. Unusual camouflage pattern, rarely seen. As always with the Helikon brand, the products are made very well. Very functional, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. The product is OK.
-
Another pair of Helikon pants for me, this time short ones. The product has already been tested. They’re very comfortable to wear. The cut fits the figure well, there are lots of pockets, and they're solidly made with no defects. They're a little too big for me according to the size chart, but only slightly. This actually has its advantages, for example when cycling. I recommend them.
-
Comfortable shorts for summer. An interesting version of camouflage, less common, but looks good in person. The material is of good quality, resistant to abrasion. I recommend it.
-
To put it plainly - the fit at the back could be slightly better, as they tend to have a strange bulge of material below the middle belt loop. Other than that, they’re really nice shorts.
