In my opinion, the sizing is fine, it's not oversized. Size 46 cm corresponds to a size W36. The material is of medium thickness but stiff - should improve after washing. The shorts are much shorter than Helikon BDU shorts and have narrower legs. Velcro pockets, zipper fly - personally, I prefer buttons. The color is fine, similar to the photo. Overall, the quality is good.

Size: 50
Rather for people with narrow hips. With a 104 cm waist, size 52 is definitely too big. Size 50 is OK at the waist, but very tight at the hips. They seem very sturdy.
-
For everyday use, they’re not for me—I prefer cotton, and these contain quite a lot of polyester. As utility shorts, they do the job well. The sizing is standard, but the cut is more fitted if you have larger thighs.
-
Very good material quality, plenty of functional pockets, and an interesting camouflage pattern. The fabric is comfortable, does not irritate the skin, and works well both for everyday wear thanks to its cut and during outdoor activities. The sizing corresponds to French sizes — I wear size 44 in jeans, and size 44 from Pentagon fits me perfectly. They are definitely worth having.
-
Very good and functional shorts; the large number of pockets and the fitted cut make them very practical trousers for warm weather. The Cinder Grey color looks very good. For me, better than black. The color is a bit lighter than in the photos. Fortunately, the cut of the Cinder Grey version is the same as my second pair in pent camo. Just in case, it's worth trying them on if possible. Sizing may vary between models.

This is the third pair I have bought from Militaria, and I am consistently very satisfied with them. The shorts do not lose their shape, durability, or color even after many washes. The pocket layout makes them very functional and comfortable. You need to choose the size carefully; it is best to try them on if you have the chance. The downside for me is the fabric composition — in my opinion, there is too much polyester and too little cotton.

Size: 38
Great shorts, the roomy pockets are perfect for carrying lots of EDC gear, and finally I don’t have to carry everything separately. In addition, they are made of excellent materials resistant to abrasion and moisture. I highly recommend them.

Buy, wear, be surprised that they don't get damaged, don't wear out. The dark gray color is an interesting option. Another piece I bought, and as always, I am satisfied.
-
The black Pentagon BDU shorts are a great choice – they are comfortable, have the correct sizing (W48 is equivalent to W38 in jeans), and fit well. The side pockets are proportional, so the phone doesn't twist around inside them, unlike the Brandit Urban Legend shorts, where the pockets are too spacious. The Velcro fasteners are conveniently placed and better than the Brandit snaps, which are spaced too far apart and don't protect the phone from falling out when getting into the car. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and with a discount at MRC, it's a real bargain. I highly recommend it!
-
The shorts are excellently made and very comfortable for daily wear. The material is soft, breathable, and keeps its shape even after several washes. The cut provides freedom of movement, and the quality of the finishes makes them look both stylish and durable.
-
I have long trousers from Pentagon and it was time for short ones. I ordered two pairs, one for me and one for my father, and we are very satisfied. They fit and look great. The pockets are large, but not excessively so. We recommend them.
-
The pants are very nice and comfortable. The pocket arrangement is practical and convenient. However, the biggest mystery for me remains the sizing; I can't give a clear answer on how to buy or what to pay attention to because I bought two pairs (different models) using the provided size charts, and one fits perfectly while the other is quite roomy. Nevertheless, the products are nice, although more "slim" than, for example, Helikon products.
-
Very neat and comfortable shorts for the warmer seasons. The number of positive reviews speaks for itself. I have nothing to complain about and honestly recommend them.
-
Practical and comfortable shorts, they have spacious pockets, but they are not bulky, and their cut is excellent. Classic double button fastening above the zipper and an additional snap. Some issues with sizing, it's best to try on the size according to the chart and buy later.
-
Comfortable, well-made shorts from solid material. Spacious pockets, strong seams and a smooth zipper. Additionally, a nice cut and elegant colors. Pleasant to use, I am very satisfied with them.
