Review for model:

The shorts are great quality. The material is a little more rigid than my other Helikon-tex pants. They are on the larger/wider side, and also quite long. Most of my shorts are above the knee, but these go a few centimeters below my knees. I really like all the pockets, and being that the shorts on the wider side, I'm sure I can stuff them quite a bit. I don't like the straps on the beltline which stay under a belt and push into my hips a little. They can be moved, but they will hang loose. Also, the belt loops are a little thin, unlike on other pants from the brand. Great price, and the delivery was very quick.

As I had already bought a pair of trousers in black, I wanted another one to change into a different colour. They are super comfortable and I can only recommend them. There's nothing more to say about it.

The trousers fit really well and I like that they have been reinforced with ripstop material. I was only able to try them on at home, but with the warm weather slowly starting, I think the trousers will prove their worth.

I've lost count of how many pairs of Helikon BDU shorts I've worn out. I don't worry about matching the original, because they're perfect for everyday summer use, especially because of the pockets.

Very good shorts. The material is solid and pleasant to the touch, very carefully made. The size matches the chart, the workmanship is flawless, and the price is attractive.

The trousers are of excellent quality, seem resistant to abrasions, very comfortable, the colour is as in the photos, and the size corresponds to what is given on the website. They have roomy pockets and a good cut. I always try them on before buying – so I can be sure. I recommend!

Comfortable and carefully made trousers with no faults. An additional advantage is the large side pockets. Very comfortable, easy to pick the right size, they seem abrasion-resistant.

Good quality workmanship, strong material, very comfortable. They work well for hiking and cycling. Another Helikon product that I am very satisfied with.

The quality is at a very high level, as you would expect from Helikon. Solid material, colours consistent with the photo. The trousers are strong and durable. I definitely recommend.

The shorts are quite long (as shown in the photos). The workmanship is of a high standard, as you would expect from Helikon. The woodland colours are vivid, the material is strong, all fastenings are buttons, even the fly. At first, they feel a bit stiff, but after washing, they become softer and nicer. At this price, I think it's a good choice.

The material is durable, it might be a bit stiff at first, which I consider an advantage because it doesn't feel flimsy. The colours are intense and nice, and the workmanship is careful – no loose threads. The cut is classic and simple. The size matches the chart, but it's worth remembering that this is a wide fit, so it's better not to take a larger size, stick to your waist circumference. For the price of 90.99, it's a very good purchase.

The quality of stitching and materials is great – no loose threads. The Helikon woodland camouflage is the same as the M81 US Army – identical colours and pattern. The size runs a bit bigger – I usually wear XL, here I chose LR and they fit perfectly, but if I gain weight they might be too tight :-) I confirm previous opinions; at this price it's the best choice.

Top quality, sturdy material. These are not classic BDUs, although they really resemble them. In addition, there are other pockets under the cargo pockets, opening from above the cargo flap, which standard BDUs do not have. There’s also a slightly different shape to the side pockets, which have an opening at a greater angle to the vertical seam, so nothing falls out any more, for example, when I'm sitting in the car.

The shorts are really fine. I have no comments about the quality or appearance. I've used them several times already. I definitely recommend them for summer or hot days.

The trousers are of very good quality, they look resistant to abrasions, comfortable, the colour matches the photos, and the sizing matches what is shown on the website. The pockets are spacious, the cut is successful. I always recommend trying them on before buying, so you can be sure. I recommend.
