The trousers fit excellently and would generally get 5 stars from me. Unfortunately, the fastening at the upper waistband is made with a very large hook-and-loop fastener. Personally, I consider hook-and-loop fasteners unsuitable for clothing items anyway, especially when they come into contact with high-quality garments. The hard edge of the hook-and-loop fastener damaged my high-quality Clawgear shirt the very first time I wore it. A shame, because the fit and wearing comfort of the trousers are really very good. However, because of this design detail, which in my view could have been avoided, I cannot rate them 5 stars.
Helikon-Tex OTP VersaStretch Women's Trousers - Shadow Grey
Women's trekking trousers made of VersaStretch fabric with 4-Way Elastic technology, distinguished by its light weight and good breathability. The Teflon coating applied to the outer layer of the fabric increases resistance to stains and dirt. The refined fit is complemented by 8 practical pockets. The model is suitable both for outdoor activities and everyday wear.
Versastretch, Teflon coating, elasticity
The trousers are made of Versastretch fabric, composed of 93% nylon and 7% elastane. The material is distinguished by high durability, low weight, and good breathability. 4-way Elastic technology is responsible for stretch in all directions and an optimal fit to the body shape. The outer layer is additionally covered with a Teflon coating, increasing resistance to dirt and stains.
Velcro and zip closure, reinforced pocket edges
The elastic waistband and velcro closure and zip make it easier to properly fit the trousers to the body shape, while durable 50 mm wide belt loops allow the use of an additional belt. A reinforcing gusset is placed in the crotch, which reduces the risk of abrasion and improves freedom of movement. The edges of the front pockets are protected with an additional layer of fabric, which increases their durability. An elastic tape sewn into the waistband allows the trousers to fit the body shape better.
8 practical pockets
The Outdoor Tactical Pants model is equipped with 8 practical pockets:
- two classic front pockets positioned at hip height
- two thigh pockets closed with a velcro flap
- two side pockets closed with a YKK zip

Size: L
I bought them for my girlfriend, and she really liked them. They look good, are lightweight, comfortable, have enough functional pockets, and can be worn both in summer and in cooler conditions.
-
Fantastic trousers! Tested during winter in the mountains – they do not let any water in at all. Thanks to their stretchiness, they are very comfortable. They have plenty of practical pockets. I usually have trouble finding the perfect trousers due to my body proportions. However, these fit great, don’t gape at the waist, and aren’t too tight at the hips despite a big difference between them.
-
The trousers are great in terms of material, workmanship, number of pockets and feminine fit, unfortunately I had to return them, because even though I chose the long version, they are still too short – at a height of 183 cm, I am still missing about 5 cm in length for them to be suitable.
-
These are the most meticulously made trousers I have ever had. I most often use them during trips to the forest and on trails. They are extremely comfortable, have functional pockets, and the hook-and-loop fastening at the waist is a big plus. They do not get soaked quickly in moderate rain and are easy to clean. I can sincerely recommend them to anyone who enjoys spending time actively outdoors.
-
The trousers are comfortable, carefully made and emphasise the figure beautifully. I haven't had the chance to try them outside yet, as I'm treating them as an option for warmer months. I think my review is detailed enough ;)
-
The trousers are extremely comfortable, and the material fits the figure excellently. When it gets colder, you can easily wear leggings underneath them. The number and placement of the pockets, as always, deserve praise.
-
The trousers are extremely comfortable and slightly stretchy. They fit the body very well. They make minimal noise when walking, but it's not bothersome. They have lots of pockets. I am satisfied with this purchase.
-
I bought trousers for my wife – the material is pleasant to the touch and they fit great. They are stretchy and even work well when visiting the shooting range. Very comfortable and provide great comfort.
-
I bought these trousers for my wife after having already bought two different Helikon-Tex trousers for myself, as well as some other products. My wife is very happy with the trousers! The fit is good, the pocket solutions are very well thought out, and the chosen material is ideal for its intended use as walking trousers in warmer weather: light, airy, quick-drying and robust. And as with all Helikon-Tex products, the price/performance ratio is spot on! Clear recommendation to buy!
-
Great trousers, they fit well thanks to the elastic material. High-quality material, plenty of pockets that don't disturb the shape of the silhouette. It's a pity that the short size is hard to find, but it's still worth having them.
-
I am very satisfied with these trousers. The quality is excellent. The elastic waistband at the back is a great solution. The pockets are comfortable and the material is pleasant. I like the presence of drawstrings at the legs, which allow for a lot of adjustment. My waist is 73 cm and my hips are 99 cm. Size M fits perfectly.
-
The trousers are fantastic. The material is high quality, very spacious and comfortable. What more could you want? This clothing is exceptionally functional and works well both for everyday use and outdoors. The Velcro adjustment works perfectly and holds firmly. In my opinion, the width of the legs is ideal – I have no complaints. Due to the material used, they resemble improved UTP trousers. Also great for mountain trips – my other half is very pleased too. :)
-
Trousers in size L are quite tight and narrow, more like a looser M. The material is very rustly. Apart from that, everything is fine. The colour matches the picture.
-
Very comfortable. Even if they get dusty, it's easy to shake off the dirt. And they're flexible too. You don't need to pull them up when you want to climb a high wall ;-)
