Outfitted with ten pockets:
- two classic hip pockets with reinforced edges,
- four thigh pockets (including two spacious zippered and two slim ones with Velcro closures),
- four rear pockets (two large and two smaller ones nested inside the spacious pockets).
A wide Velcro closure replaces the button, enabling a 6 cm adjustment range. The waistband features an integrated elastic band for a personalized fit. VersaStretch nylon fabric reinforces both the area above the back pockets and the crotch for added durability.

Camouflage Rhodesian Camo
Rhodesian Camo represents an iconic camouflage design, originally developed for the Rhodesian Armed Forces (now Zimbabwe) in the 1960s. Engineered specifically for combat scenarios during regional conflicts, most notably the Bush War (1964-1979), the pattern was tailored to the challenging environments of southern Africa, including arid bushlands, open grassy areas, and sparse vegetation. Characterized by its distinctive, hand-painted look that mimics brushstrokes, the pattern features irregular, horizontal elements in shades of green and brown, set against a light green or sandy backdrop. Utilizing a high-contrast three-color palette, the arrangement is inspired by natural forms in the surroundings, such as leaves, branches, and grass, allowing the camouflage to effectively disrupt the outline of the user and reduce visibility in thickly vegetated terrain.

Very nice, comfortable, and breathable shorts. A great summer alternative to cargo pants, thanks to the spacious pockets I don't need to carry a backpack or a bum bag because everything I need fits in them. Nicely made, comfortable to use, plus an attractive price.

Great short pants from Helikon (as always from them), comfortable with a large number of pockets where you can really pack a lot of necessary gadgets. In historical Rhodesian camouflage.
