Very good shorts for all kinds of outdoor trips. As many people have rightly noticed, very good quality at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
Shorts designed in a cut based on the classic BDU style worn by the US army. Constructed from a fabric blend of tough cotton and resilient polyester, offering superior resistance to tearing and abrasion. The fabric is also lighter and dries more quickly than pure cotton.

- two open hand pockets,
- two back pockets secured with buttoned flaps,
- two cargo pockets with button-flap closures.

Woodland Camouflage
Woodland, often referred to as US Woodland or M81, represents a timeless camouflage design developed for the US armed forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL pattern. Serving as the primary camouflage for the US military for over twenty years, right up until the close of the first decade of the 2000s, Woodland is distinguished by its prominent and irregular green, brown, beige, and black patches. These color combinations deliver excellent concealment and disruption, particularly within wooded environments. Owing to its proven effectiveness and global fame, numerous adaptations of this pattern have been embraced by more than 60 military and law enforcement organizations around the world. Its influence extends far beyond the battlefield, reaching into popular culture and finding a place in everyday apparel.

I used them for about two years for work. The material is strong, but the crotch seams don't hold well. The large, baggy cargo pockets are kind of strange and stick out too much. I wouldn't buy them again. The biggest plus is the price.
-
Strongly stitched and lots of pockets. Good material and stitching. Comfortable and practical. Highly recommended and worth the price. Perfect for hot summer days. I highly recommend to everyone, cool pants.
-
Low-quality products. The first pair split at the crotch seam, in the second, the buttons fell off. The threads used in production are terrible. The material seems okay, but the workmanship is poor.
-
Designed with a classic BDU model inspired cut, they are made from a combination of durable cotton and flexible polyester, which is extremely resistant to tearing and abrasion. This fabric is also lighter and dries faster than 100% cotton. I recommend it to everyone, great pants.

I’ve had these pants for a good few years now and bought them at Militari. The color has long since faded but the material holds up really well, nothing is worn through and the seams are holding! I’m about 190 cm tall and weigh 100 kg and the XXL size fits me perfectly! For XXXL, I’d have to be much bigger (I checked). The product is durable and light, really good. I recommend it.
-
Comfortable shorts that I have often worn to the shooting range or on outings to the forest. The adjustment is very simple and allows you to customize the shorts for the user. I can recommend them.
-
Solid, durable, and attractively priced, plus an adjustable waistband. My previous pair lasted 10 years before the material wore out. The sizing is quite large. I recommend them.
-
Very solid shorts. The material they are made of is thick and strong. The cut could be improved a bit – the legs could be a little narrower – they look like you're wearing a skirt and not shorts :) Besides this flaw, they are decent. But after discovering Helikon shorts, I probably won’t experiment with this type of shorts anymore.
-
Average quality. - Buttons fell off during first use and had to be sewn back on. - The buttonholes had to be cut with a knife because they were too small and the buttons wouldn't fit. - The sizing in the description does not match, the pants are larger than stated in the size chart.
-
Shorts styled like M65. The material is very strong, solid, does not wear through and does not lose color. In my opinion, they are a bit too shiny – the pants could be more matte. The legs are quite wide. You have to get used to it. Those who have worn long Mil-Tecs or classic 'bags' know what I mean. The side/cargo pockets are quite low and are also very wide. So, when using them, items in the pockets have a lot of room... A downside is the very small slits/holes for the buttons in the fly.
-
I bought the pants a year ago before a scout camp. After a year of use (occasional, only for scout trips, and not always) there are no signs of wear. The only thing is that a button fell off, but I wouldn’t count that as a major flaw. The pants are comfortable and have very spacious thigh pockets.
-
The workmanship quality is generally fine—there are some loose threads, but nothing problematic. The shorts are not very stretchy, but that’s what I expected. The price-to-quality ratio is superb. I sincerely recommend them!
-
The pants don’t keep to the sizes. I ordered woodland and khaki in the same size and one pair is too small, while the other fits even though they’re the same size. Unfortunately, the material mix changed from 65% nylon to 80%.
-
The composition is not 35% cotton but 20%, the rest is nylon. They are also a centimeter longer than the previous ones. In general, each batch has a different size, composition, and length.
