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.

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.
