The trousers are really cool, I recommend them to everyone. They arrived very quickly, in literally 3 days. The quality is simply amazing, very comfortable, and there are plenty of pockets. They can be tightened and adjusted at the waist — overall, fantastic.

The material in the black trousers is not uniform. All the nyco I've bought so far has been smooth, whereas here there are delicate, horizontal stripes. The material is also thinner than before, which I consider a minor drawback.

The trousers are made of durable material and fit great, without restricting freedom of movement. I consider the comments about the drawstrings at the legs unjustified, because in my opinion this is the most practical solution if you exclude Velcro.

These trousers are probably the most similar to the original 'kontakt' models. The material is thick and the cut is loose. I recommend ordering a size smaller than what the chart suggests, unless you plan to use a liner (which is not included). The nyco material does not make much rustling noise. The product met my expectations, I recommend it.

These trousers are very comfortable, the loose fit provides great freedom of movement, and the bands in the cargo pockets effectively protect against chafing when carrying heavier items or stuffed pockets (after securing the trousers with straps around the legs, I walked about 10km carrying several 250ml glass bottles without any chafing). I also have contract M65 trousers and, right after them, I consider Helikon trousers to be the best available. I've been using them for over 10 years both daily, outdoors, and at work, so they've been thoroughly tested by me and I can say they're the best model of military trousers I've ever used.

I bought these trousers for the first time, but definitely not the last – they're great! I chose two versions: woodland and olive. I must admit, the woodland ones have a double seam, which looks sturdier and generally appears better, whereas the olive ones are sewn with an overlock – although they also look fantastic. I have a question for militaria.pl: in the future, will it be possible to buy green or black ones sewn with a double stitch? That would be awesome! As for the material, the woodland ones seem a bit stiffer than the green ones, but not so much as to make walking difficult, especially compared to typical work trousers. Regarding the size: I'm about 188 cm tall, weigh 86 kg, and the M Long size fits me perfectly, leaving a bit of room at the waist.

These are the first trousers of this style that I own. They really do have loose legs, yet they are very comfortable. I also ordered the camouflage version and am waiting for delivery. I will mainly use them while staying at my ranch and on walks in the forest. I definitely recommend them.

Review for model:

I can't clearly assess these trousers, as they are completely different from the previous models I've had. This is already my third pair of M65 trousers and I've noticed clear differences – the newest pair is made from a different material, which immediately attracts attention. They look a bit like regular, soft trousers, whereas the older models were much stiffer and more durable, typical NYCO. These are lighter and more breathable, but I have doubts whether they're suitable for damp conditions, as I could easily get soaked. Additionally, I've noticed that the belt loops aren't symmetrically placed in relation to the button. I'm keeping them mainly with summer in mind, although I'd prefer to have a choice and know exactly what I'm paying for – then I could decide if I'd rather have a lower price for this version. The sizing is as it should be.

Timeless model, very durable – of course it’s a matter of taste, but for me it’s definitely a plus. However, it's worth paying attention to the wide legs. The pocket is very spacious, and even when it’s completely filled, the trousers do not slip down or become uncomfortable – something that happens with other models. In my opinion, the sizing runs large: I’m 180 cm tall, have a 94 cm waist, and size L fits well both in the waist and length, although they are very roomy, but that’s simply the style of this model. According to the size chart, I should choose XL, which I did at first, but I had to exchange them for an L. Waist and leg adjustments are standard. Ideal for everyday wear and going out to the forest, they're great for autumn and winter, and as for summer – time will tell.

I have to buy new ones because unfortunately the previous ones tore. It's a bit embarrassing as they only lasted 17 years ;) But honestly, they were used intensively – lots of walking, training, and wear and tear. They survived everything.

Excellent replicas. I have been wearing the originals since the 1980s. It's just the stitching that's missing on the back of the olive green model. Yet it's present on the original model and on the woodland one. A shame. An essential detail.

Over the past 6 years (2020-2026), I have already bought four pairs of these trousers. They are really durable – I tried to ruin them by crawling on rocks and concrete, and they lasted a long time. They are perfect for trips to the forest – they can last for several seasons. They are also safe by the campfire – sparks don't melt them, which I tested myself while sitting and sleeping close to the fire (at a distance of 1-1.3 m). Besides that, they are very comfortable and have large cargo pockets. The colour is also great ;) They are best for spring, autumn, and mild winters. In summer, they are too warm because the material is quite thick. I give 5 stars with full confidence. I definitely recommend them.

The trousers are really nice, but in my opinion the sizing runs large – at 175 cm tall and weighing 72 kg I chose size M and they're a bit too loose. Despite this I am very happy. The only downside is that the trousers pick up all sorts of fluff, as others have mentioned :P. All in all, I definitely recommend them!

I'm 183 cm tall and size L fits me perfectly. The trousers are fine, but I have the impression that back in the 90s they were made from much thicker and stiffer fabric. I also remember that there used to be warmers available for them. Maybe the manufacturer should consider this.

Solid trousers, highly recommended. I've been using my first pair for about a decade now and they still show no significant signs of wear – they are extremely durable and resistant to all conditions. This is probably the best replica of contract trousers available at a reasonable price. This time I bought the black version – dirt will probably be more visible, but these trousers are made for intensive use anyway. It's just a pity that they're no longer made in Poland.
