The size chart is confusing. In short: size 50 Pentagon corresponds to an American 40 in jeans. Similarly, 48 is like 38, etc. I ordered size 50, they are slightly too loose because I usually choose 38, but I decided to keep them. The material seems quite thick, but I hope that after a few washes it will become softer. I hope this information will be helpful for those who have similar doubts to mine.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, often referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a renowned camouflage design that was adopted by the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, evolving from the earlier ERDL pattern. For more than twenty years, it served as the principal camouflage for the US military, remaining in use until the close of the first decade of the 21st century. Notable for its large, asymmetrical shapes in green, brown, beige, and black tones, the pattern provides excellent concealment and disruption—particularly in forested environments. Its proven effectiveness and worldwide familiarity have led to multiple adaptations, which have been incorporated into the uniforms of over 60 armed forces globally. The influence of this pattern extends far beyond military use, having significantly impacted popular culture and transitioned into civilian fashion.

Good ripstop pants for hard work, but overrated. I have a 91 cm waist – size 48 is quite large, but with a belt it's manageable. If I had taken a smaller size, they would be tight in the thighs, considering the type and lack of elasticity of the material, so I chose a bigger one. Pros: Solid stitching - and that's about it. For fans of this type of material. Cons: Typical ripstop (like wearing pants made of cardboard) No adjustments or drawstrings. Price/quality ratio is greatly overstated.

Very nice trousers in terms of cut, made of rip-stop material, breathable. Very nice color (Ranger green). There are plenty of pockets and they are spacious, although I would prefer them fastened with snaps or buttons instead of Velcro. The belt loops are wide—you can easily use virtually any belt.

These are really decent, classic BDU cargo shorts. The polycotton blend material is very comfortable and pleasant to wear. The pockets have the traditional layout. Some people criticize the combination of buttons and Velcro, but in my opinion it’s a good solution, because the front Velcro makes for quick opening. The small utility front pocket seems not very practical to me – you can't fit a phone there, just a small penknife. The sizing matches the description. I ordered size 44, which corresponds to 34.5 inches, and that's exactly what I received. I like the snap fastening with an extra inside button – thanks to that, the shorts stay securely fastened. The price is attractive – I paid 705 CZK and I think it’s a great purchase. It will be hard to find better and more durable shorts for summer.

Very good and durable shorts. They handled 2 weeks of safari in Botswana (southern Africa) just fine. Later, they were still successfully used in Poland, I recommend them.

Nice military-style shorts in Ranger Green shade, made with ripstop technique. I have no complaints about the functionality of the shorts, nor about the quality of workmanship.

Great pants. Well made, from good material, do not restrict movement. The pockets are just right, not too tight and have good capacity for small items. I recommend them to everyone.

Comfortable, well-made shorts with plenty of pockets to fit anything you can imagine. The colors are vibrant and don’t fade even after many washes. The size matches the description. The color is bright and clean, and the quality is excellent. Comfortable and tough. Perfect for the city or the forest. A well-made, exceptionally high-quality product—it’s really worth it. I highly recommend it to others as well.

Practical and comfortable shorts, with spacious pockets, but the shorts are not loose and the cut is excellent. Classic double button above the zipper and closes with a snap. They are elastic and abrasion-resistant. A product of recommendable quality.

Pentagon shorts - the entire description "matches reality". Spacious pockets, slightly stiff material fits perfectly and gives a feeling of solidity. Wearing comfort - what more could you want. Very satisfied with the purchase....

Good quality, comfortable trousers for everyday use. They performed well both in our climate and in the Mediterranean region during very hot weather—they are lightweight and very breathable, yet durable and dirt-resistant. The beige color is great, highly recommended.
