These trousers perform excellently outdoors. The numerous pockets, ventilation—rarely found in this type of model—and the flexible stretch material make them ideal for a variety of outdoor tasks. I recommend them to everyone.
Helikon-Tex MCDU NyCo Rip-Stop Trousers - MultiCam
Comfortable and durable trousers in MultiCam camouflage, from the MCDU (Modern Combat Duty Uniform) series. Thanks to the large number of pockets and their rational arrangement, these trousers will work well in urban conditions, and will not disappoint during outdoor activities.
NyCo Rip-Stop material, VersaStretch fabric
The model is made of NyCo Rip-Stop (50% nylon, 50% cotton) material, which is characterised by high abrasion resistance, lightweight and faster drying time compared to 100% cotton material. Thanks to the elastic inserts, the trousers provide freedom of movement. At waist level, at the back of the knees and at the crotch, an additional layer of VersaStretch fabric with high breathability is used.
Practical pockets
The trousers are equipped with twelve practical pockets:
- two recessed on the hips
- two on the back
- two smaller ones above the cargo pockets
- two large front cargo pockets closed with zips
- two large rear cargo pockets closed with Velcro fasteners
- two pockets at calf level closed with zips
In addition, inside the legs at knee level there are pockets reinforced with 500D Cordura giving the possibility of placing low-profile protective inserts in them.
Adjustable waistband, wide loops
The opening is fastened with a YKK zip. Instead of a button, a wide Velcro strap is used to adjust the waist circumference. The bottom edges of the legs and the knee area are equipped with Velcro straps to adjust the width. The model has 40 mm wide belt loops and additional loops for attaching small equipment. On the sides of the legs are placed mesh vents closed with zips.

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.
Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
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.
Rip-Stop weave protects the fabric from abrasions and tears. It is characterized by additional threads woven in at regular intervals, forming a mesh-like pattern. It provides high strength to the fabric, increases resistance to mechanical damage, especially tears.

The MCDU trousers in the Polish wz.93 camouflage are an excellent choice. The NyCo Rip-Stop fabric is extremely durable while also providing breathability and quick drying – an excellent option for challenging terrain. The greatest advantage is the VersaStretch elastic inserts placed in the crotch and at the back of the waistband. Thanks to these, the trousers adapt perfectly to movement when squatting, kneeling or marching quickly, without digging in or restricting freedom. The pockets are well planned, and the additional reinforcements on the knees for protectors are very useful.
-
The trousers are well made and fit great – I say this from a woman's perspective. Size S - Long fits the figure perfectly, they're not too loose, and have a well-shaped waistband, which ensures comfort when wearing. Additionally, the number and practicality of the pockets are another advantage.

Size: S
The trousers fit me very well and impress with their comfortable fit. The many pockets and practical details make them highly functional for various uses. The quality and workmanship are also up to standard. I returned the PL Woodland variant because it was a bit too conspicuous for everyday wear. Instead, I chose the Helikon-Tex MCDU DyNyCo Rip-Stop trousers in RAL 7013, as they look significantly more understated.
-
Durable trousers ideal for various uses – they work well for airsoft, mountain trips, or survival. I recommend trying them on before purchasing, as they have a rather fitted cut and the NyCo material is stiffer than in the DyNyCo version.
-
The trousers perform excellently during outdoor use. Thanks to the many pockets, ventilation (rarely found in this type of trousers), and the flexible stretch material, they are perfect for various outdoor activities.
-
Amazing trousers. They seem extremely durable, as if they could withstand even an apocalypse. Size L is always right for me. I really appreciate the ventilation holes in the legs. The multicam black colour makes a great impression.
-
The trousers are made of high-quality materials. The fabric is flexible in key areas, so they don't crease when sitting, squatting, or kneeling. The ventilation and knee reinforcements are well designed. The trousers also have many practical pockets. I can definitely recommend them. The only downside is the price if purchased without a discount.
-
I already have a pair of these trousers in desert-night camo and I'm really impressed. The front pockets are a bit small, but still sufficient. Very good workmanship. The sizing is fine.
-
These trousers perform excellently during outdoor use. Thanks to their numerous pockets, ventilation (rarely found in such trousers), and flexible 'stretch' material, they are ideal for a variety of outdoor activities.
-
The trousers are well-made, with a refined cut and are practical. They fit very well and are much less bulky than other Helikon models. The size is fine, the only thing I miss is an M-short size, which would be ideal for me. I rate them 5/5.
-
I bought these trousers for work and they are excellent – they are light, don't restrict movement, and provide plenty of warmth. The fabric is very stretchy and doesn't absorb water, but you need to care for them properly. Although the price isn't the lowest, I think they're worth the investment.
-
The trousers fit perfectly and have extended legs. They have many practical pockets, as well as elastic and ventilated panels. I ordered size XL Long and there were no problems with delivery. I am really satisfied.
-
This is an excellent alternative to standard wz.2019 trousers – they are more comfortable and more durable, and the versastretch inserts significantly improve comfort of use. Reinforced knees allow you to choose a surface more freely (especially when using inserts). The only downside is the lack of a short size version – for me, the regular length is a bit too long.
-
The trousers are very good. The material and craftsmanship are top notch. However, they are much narrower than I expected. When I put even a light, soft item in the thigh pockets, the trousers start to squeeze my calf and it becomes uncomfortable. Apart from that, they are fantastic. I recommend buying them.
