Helikon-Tex CPU Cotton Ripstop Shorts - Khaki

The shorts are very comfortable, and the material is pleasant to the touch. The size is easy to adjust. The downside is the poorly and carelessly sewn buttons, but this is easy to fix. The pockets are practically arranged and roomy.

Very comfortable shorts with a large number of functional pockets – especially the two small ones at the front, which stand out positively. The material is durable and shouldn't get damaged quickly in the wash. In my opinion, the sizing is correct.

The shorts are great to wear, with two practical little pockets at the front. The fabric really is very durable. I use them in tough conditions and they are both durable and comfortable. The pockets are capacious and well positioned, which suits me very well.

Overall, these are good trousers, very comfortable and ideal for hot days. A typical problem, as is often the case, is incompletely sewn buttons. A nice solution at the pockets is the additional button fasteners in case the Velcro gives out under heavier load.

I must admit that although the pockets with the drawstring and stopper are, in my opinion, a bit overcomplicated, I am satisfied with the trousers. This is a proven version of high-quality cotton ripstop shorts, typical for Helikon. As with most garments of this kind, the buttons need to be sewn on more securely if you want really solid fastenings. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the main and back pockets – they fit both your hand and larger items. The cargo pockets are additionally secured with buttons, which is very practical under heavier load. The wide belt loops are stronger than in BDU models. I think it's an excellent choice for hot days, although they dry a bit slower and may be less durable than polycotton versions. However, they are very light and you can hardly feel them on, which I definitely count as a plus. I highly recommend both the shop and the Helikon brand for maintaining high quality and developing both classic and new models.
