Review for model:

The product was delivered extremely quickly. The trousers are very comfortable, do not restrict movement, and their pockets – including those at the back – are spacious. The colour is well saturated. However, the disadvantage is the waist drawstrings, which do not hold the tightened tape well and loosen easily. If you do not use a proper belt, when the cargo pockets are heavily filled, the trousers may slip down.

The trousers are okay, but the new Helikon sizing is a total flop. A year ago, size M in the CPU model was perfect, now it fits at the waist but the crotch sits much lower and the back of the trousers hangs like a sack. I had a similar problem with the SFU model – the old S trousers were fine, but the new S is too tight, and the Ms are too big. Helikon has messed up the sizing.

The trousers look great – the material is sturdy, though not very thick, there are nice pockets on the calves, and the camouflage is truly unique. Unfortunately, the sizing fails – S is too tight, M too loose and too long. With my standard build I had to return the trousers.

Great trousers, very practical, a big plus is the number of pockets and the drawstrings at them, which keep things safe. Personally, I would swap the drawstrings for Velcro at the leg openings. The two small open pockets are very useful for a multitool and a penknife.

A good alternative to the MON pattern. Very comfortable, well-placed pockets, dries quickly. Cargo pockets with drawstrings are also functional. Overall, a cool product.

Durable, lightweight and quick-drying, all advantages. The only downside is the size. Following my old trousers I ordered size M long, which turned out to actually be an L. Fortunately, the exchange went very smoothly, so the shop deserves praise.

The trousers confirm Helikon's high quality. Good also for sunny days. Worth buying and wearing. Classic cut, very solid stitching, excellent material. They are really comfortable. They dry quickly while wearing. They perform very well.

The trousers are of very good quality. Made from durable and sturdy material, available in attractive colours. However, I would recommend this model rather for sandy and beach areas, because the colour is too light for the forest. In my opinion, the sizes run large, so I suggest choosing a smaller size.

These are great, functional trousers, well sewn with practical pocket arrangement, which fully serve their purpose. They are suitable for warm days as well as for spring or autumn, as the cotton doesn't let the wind through. I highly recommend this model.

I have wanted to have desert wz trousers for a long time and finally managed to get them. The material is not too thick yet looks durable, there are many practical pockets and a more comfortable cut than the SFU adds comfort. I definitely recommend them!

Great trousers with a looser fit, yet very comfortable. I ordered a size smaller than usual and they fit perfectly. They have many pockets, so it’s easy to carry plenty of things. Reinforcements in key spots should improve their durability. I recommend wearing them with Helikon Low Profile Protective Pad Inserts. The trousers will be perfect for summer trips.

Phenomenal trousers. The number of pockets will satisfy everyone. The cut is more fitted than the first SFU Next model. For me, the front pockets were a bit too narrow, but a tailor fixed it and now even the biggest smartphone fits.

The trousers fit well and are well made. The camouflage looks excellent. My previous pair faded after 10 years of intensive use, so it was time for a new one. The price is very competitive. I recommend the purchase.

Well-sewn trousers, clear pattern – I'm curious how they will look after a few washes and whether the colour will hold.

Very decent trousers, I definitely recommend them.
