The shorts are made of solid material. The pockets are deep and spacious. The only thing you could criticize is the sizing, which is larger than expected. Take a smaller size to avoid surprises.

In my opinion, the trousers are very poorly made and the sizes do not match the description. They resemble cheap goods from an Asian stall from years ago. I am very disappointed with this purchase. If someone is satisfied with such a product, that's OK, but I think this isn't good quality.
-
Excellent pants for summer. Light, thin, comfortable, large pockets, a good light color for hot weather. The only downside is that the sizing is smaller compared to standard Pentagon BDU sizes. I had to order twice to get the right size.

Very nice, airy summer pants. They look good and are exceptionally comfortable. I am 170 cm tall and weigh 69 kg, I chose size 40 – they fit perfectly. As usual, express shipping. I definitely recommend them!

I am 186 cm tall and weigh 82 kg, I'm slim and athletic. Normally, I ordered size 44 of regular BDU shorts and regular pants. This time I read the comments and ordered size 42, and they fit very well with a slight looseness. Overall, they fit me well, but if someone has a bigger butt and thighs, they might be too tight. I was looking for such black elastic shorts in brick-and-mortar stores and had no luck. I ordered the Pentagons and they are great, they look good, I'm very satisfied—this is what I was looking for.

After reading numerous reviews, I chose pants two sizes smaller, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The pants fit perfectly. The material is of high quality, as I expected from the Pentagon brand. It's still hard for me to assess their durability. The shipment arrived extremely fast, as always. I definitely recommend this purchase.

I really liked these shorts, and I wish I fit them well. With relatively large quads and glutes, I went for size 46, which was great, but way too large on the waist. Then, I got a 44, which was fine on the waist but compressed my lower region in an undignified and unflattering manner. The felt great in terms of stretch and room, but the cut just doesn't fit for me. I'm 184cm and 85kg with a relatively large lower body. I would recommend it for average and strong builds, but be wary and check the sizing table.

Nice cut, there is a place to put your wallet and phone during holidays. Apart from a small difference at the cargo pocket, the cut is the same as the bigger brothers. The material is thin and breathable, so even though the color is dark, I didn't feel overheated in them. I recommend.
-
Shorts with a good cut. They are great to wear. They are as good as their long version. The size matches the chart. Pentagon makes great tactical clothing. I recommend these shorts as well as other products from this brand.

Another pair of these trousers in my wardrobe. It's a pity the prices are rising so fast ;) Well-made piece of cotton. Lots of pockets. No defects. I recommend.
-
Unfortunately, the sizing didn't work for me, even though I checked—it is unfortunately too tight, and that's not what you want in summer, so check, try on, exchange if needed. Otherwise, the quality is good, although the material rustles a bit.
-
Very light and comfortable pants. The material dries quickly, which is useful when washing outdoors. Spacious pockets. The only downside is that the material pills over time. Nevertheless, I recommend it.
-
A very interesting product. Well-cut and fitted shorts. An ideal option for hot days. The quick-drying material works great in changing weather. I've been wearing them for the second season, not sparing them, and they still look surprisingly good. I recommend it.
-
Very nicely made shorts. Lots of pockets, all perfectly situated and serve their purpose. The material is pleasant and looks strong. Time will tell if they last. At first glance, I recommend them :)
