A timeless classic in an excellent edition – super comfortable! The Olive Drab colour is a true classic which looks great in person and perfectly matches the rest of my tactical and bushcraft gear. The pockets are brilliantly designed – they're very spacious, and the items carried inside don't hinder movement at all. The material dries incredibly fast, which is a big plus.

Helikon-Tex OTS 8.5" VersaStretch Lite Shorts - Mud Brown
OTS Shorts (Outdoor Tactical Shorts) - an enhanced version of the well-known UTS model (Urban Tactical Shorts). Compared to UTS shorts, the OTS model is made from VersaStretch Lite fabric - a material characterised by its lightness and breathability. The Teflon coating on the exterior enhances stain and dirt resistance. With numerous thoughtfully placed pockets, these shorts are ideal for urban conditions and will be reliable for outdoor activities. They offer an excellent compromise between military and civilian clothing - a discreet appearance and the practicality of cargo shorts. The innovative fit, appropriate seams, and the fabric from which the shorts are made ensure exceptional freedom of movement and durability.
elastic VersaStretch Lite material
Shorts made from modern VersaStretch Lite fabric containing 93% nylon and 7% elastane. This material is distinguished by its low weight and excellent breathability. With added elastic fibres, the fabric stretches in all directions, providing full freedom of movement during walking, running, climbing, and working in challenging terrains.
10 practical pockets
The shorts feature ten pockets:
- two classic mesh pockets at hip height with reinforced edges
- four on the thighs (two wide mesh pockets with zips and two narrow ones with Velcro)
- four at the back (two wide mesh pockets and two narrow ones inside the wide ones)
waist adjustment, ykk zip
The shorts, instead of a button, are equipped with a wide Velcro allowing adjustment of about 6 cm. An elastic band is sewn into the waist, improving fit to individual body features. The opening is fastened with a zipper produced by the renowned Japanese company YKK. Two front belt loops at the bottom are equipped with additional loops that allow for attaching, for example, a carabiner.

Very good, lightweight and breathable hiking shorts. At 176 cm tall and 95 kg, size XL fits perfectly. They have divided side pockets, so you can comfortably carry your phone on the left or right side, or even two at the same time.

They are very lightweight and have plenty of roomy, deep pockets — a 12-inch telescopic baton fits in them with ease. They are excellent for the gym, for weighted squats, and for running. I am 176 cm tall, weigh 88 kg, and have a 95 cm waist. Size L fits perfectly.

The size matches the description. This is a lightweight model for summer, definitely better for warm days than the standard versions made from thicker material. It has plenty of functional pockets in well-chosen sizes. The pocket intended for a phone fits it without any problem. The colour is practically the same as in the photos. I recommend it — the workmanship and the quality of the material are very good.

Size: M
Great shorts — lightweight and breathable, and in the current heat you can hardly feel them while wearing them. They have plenty of pockets, and a smartphone in a case fits easily into the front one. I recommend them.

Verified and tested, I recommend with confidence. Excellent value for money. Comfortable, can be easily used even without a belt. Trustworthy seller and delivery was prompt.

The trousers are extremely light and airy. Very comfortable, the stretchy material allows for free movement, does not restrict steps or jumps. The pockets are spacious and practical. Finally, the narrow pocket easily fits a large phone, which was missing before.

The material is very pleasant, and both the cut and the length are definite advantages. As for the drawbacks, there is a typical Helikon trousers problem – after fastening the belt around the coccyx area, the material bulges out in a strange way. In all trouser models from this brand, there is simply too much fabric at this spot.

Nice cut, more modern than previous UTPs, most of which were already quite picked over. The material is light – ideal for summer :) Dad is satisfied. The colours, as always, are great.
-
The shorts are extremely lightweight and breathable, and they dry very quickly after washing. They have plenty of pockets, and the elastic material ensures high wearing comfort. These are very functional trousers. Even after several washes, the colour does not change. I definitely recommend them.
-
Light, airy shorts, ideal for everyday use on hot days. For me, they're a bit too stretchy, so they cling more at the back, but maybe that'll change after washing. Overall, I'm satisfied.
-
The colour is great – it stands out among the standard greys (although I really like grey too). Very comfortable and practical. Perfect for the mountains, everyday use, training, cycling or the shooting range. The pockets are arranged just like in the long trousers (I already have the set), so handling at the range is intuitive (both at competitions and training). Attractive price. Very fast delivery (even faster than declared). I wholeheartedly recommend the Military shop!
-
They're great. I also have the black and red versions, but these are my favourites. A worthwhile investment; besides, the grey colour disguises stains better than black. They are lightweight, breathable and dry very quickly. I honestly recommend both the shorts and the shop.
-
The shorts perform brilliantly, the material is soft and pleasant to the touch. They are breathable and very comfortable during hikes and long periods of sitting. Size M fits perfectly for a height of 176 cm and weight of 78 kg.

Ordered yesterday, picked up today, and tomorrow off to the mountains! Thanks military! The trousers are great, light, and airy – perfect for hot days. The huge number of pockets is impressive. Highly recommended!
