I appreciate the durable and flexible material, which works perfectly for trekking, hiking, other outdoor activities, as well as for everyday use. The pockets are functionally designed and sensibly placed, although they could be slightly enlarged on the thighs to more easily fit a bigger phone. A particular advantage are the elastic inserts and the comfortable Velcro fastening. You need to get used to the Velcro belt, but it provides freedom of movement, and the special material does not restrict you.
Helikon-Tex Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas Trousers - Ash Grey/Black
Comfortable outdoor trousers that combine civilian design with military functionality. Made from two types of fabrics – flexible VersaStretch and abrasion- and tear-resistant DuraCanvas material. Suitable for hiking and trekking, ensuring full freedom of movement.
Stretchy and waterproofed material
Thanks to the hybrid construction, the trousers provide full freedom of movement and adapt to the body shape. The fabric is coated with a Teflon-based impregnation, which increases its resistance to adverse weather conditions and dirt. DuraCanvas fabric can be additionally waxed to improve water resistance.
Practical pockets
The trousers are equipped with six different pockets:
- two at the front on the hips with reinforced edges
- two spacious cargo pockets with zips
- two narrow ones with Velcro closures
Velcro waistband, adjustable legs
Instead of a standard button, the waistband features a Velcro panel, allowing for waist adjustment. The legs are also adjustable with Velcro. The knees are reinforced, allowing for internal pads.

VersaStretch is Helikon's proprietary fabric, characterized by high elasticity and lightness. The composition used is responsible for quick drying of the fabric and proper breathability.
The velcro panel is an area with sewn-on Velcro tape that allows easy attachment of various additional items, such as patches or pockets.
DuraCanvas is a densely woven fabric with high resistance to abrasion, tearing, and sparks from a campfire. It performs well in demanding outdoor conditions, especially when working around a campsite. The fabric is suitable for waxing, which improves its water resistance and durability. At the same time, it remains breathable and flexible for comfortable movement. It combines the toughness of traditional workwear with the functionality of modern outdoor clothing.
YKK zippers are high-quality zippers commonly used in clothing and accessories, manufactured by the Japanese YKK Corporation - one of the world's largest zipper manufacturers.

This is already my second pair after the Coyote model. The trousers work great during warm days and intense activity. They combine flexibility and breathability in the right places with durability where it's needed. Helikon really made an effort—the design is very well thought out. I won't hide that I chose the red and black version because of the promotion—at one hundred zloty, it would be a shame not to buy them. Their appearance is somewhat reminiscent of work trousers, which adds to their versatility, and they don't look too military. In just a week, I'm taking them to the mountains. I definitely recommend them.

Helikon-Tex Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas trousers are very well made, crafted from well-chosen materials, and perform excellently during trekking in various conditions. Unfortunately, they lack proper ventilation at higher temperatures.
-
This is already another pair of Helikon-Tex Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas trousers for me in Crimson Sky/Black, so I think they’re really worth it. Few companies probably offer such a wide range of sizes — even XL is available in regular, short and long versions, which makes it easy to choose the right fit.
-
I've had these trousers for quite a while, so I can say straight away that they're really durable and practical. I bought them again because they work great both for trips and for everyday wear. Helikon products rarely disappoint.
-
Size: XL XLong
A major advantage is the availability of the trousers in an extra-long version, which works very well for someone who is almost 195 cm tall. They are exceptionally comfortable and have an elastic waistband. The Versastretch material performs very well during constant movement, for example while hiking. The use of duracanvas fabric, in turn, increases durability in the areas most exposed to wear. They are also suitable for winter, although in that case it is worth wearing thicker long johns. The hook-and-loop fastening at the bottom of the leg is another plus.
-
Size: XXL Long
I can only confirm what I wrote earlier about these trousers, as this is already my second pair of this model, just in a different colour. The material is excellent—stretchy, comfortable, and so comfortable that you can hardly feel them while wearing them. The pockets are very well positioned, and an additional advantage is the trouser legs finished with hook-and-loop fastenings, which I really appreciate. I definitely recommend this purchase to everyone. At 194 cm tall and 107 kg, the XXL Long size fits perfectly.
-
Size: M
I had wanted for a long time to buy trekking trousers in a more everyday colour, without camouflage, coyote, or similar shades. I chose the red ones, and it turned out to be a great decision. I liked them so much that straight after trying on the first pair, I ordered another.
-
The trousers are very solidly made, and the fabric is highly durable. They do rustle slightly, but that is not a major drawback. They work brilliantly both for trips and for everyday wear. At this price, they are an excellent choice.
-
The trousers are of excellent quality. Both the material and the workmanship are of an ideal standard. At this price, they are truly an outstanding choice. Helikon is among the leading brands and offers its entire range at a very high standard. I would definitely recommend them.
-
Great trousers, this is already my third pair of this style. This time I chose the Coyote/Black colour and size S (I'm 180 cm tall, have an 80 cm waist and weigh 73 kg – the size fits perfectly). They are ideal both for everyday use and for mountain trips, and their quality and durability are genuinely at a high level.
-
Excellent value Trousers which are well made and very comfortable to wear. Cut is sensible and neither to tight or to baggy along with plenty of good sized pockets too. The Velcro fastening works well too and having got used to it I find its more convenient than a traditional button fastener.
-
I bought these trousers for my husband and it was a great choice. This is already the next time we have chosen this model. My husband really appreciates the comfort of wearing them, the durability of the material and the careful workmanship. The trousers are great for everyday use as well as for outdoor activities. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.
-
The trousers are great, this is not the first pair I have bought – excellent workmanship, careful cut and solid material. The brick colour looks fantastic, the promotional price is very favourable. The Helikon brand is, as always, of a high standard. I definitely recommend the shop and the shopping experience!

The Helikon-Tex Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas trousers in Cloud Grey/Black are really great – they look very good, have a fantastic cut, are stylish and made of the highest quality materials, as is typical for Helikon. Solid stitching, size matches the description. I definitely recommend the Helikon-Tex brand and shopping at military – everything is top notch!
