The most important thing is that these shorts are very comfortable. The Velcro holds well. The pockets are arranged practically and interestingly, I have everything within reach. After receiving my first pair, I will definitely order more.
Helikon-Tex UTS 11" Denim Stretch Shorts - Marine Blue
Modern tactical shorts UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) are made from high-quality material Denim Stretch (76% cotton, 22% polyester, 2% elastane), which is characterised by significant resistance to abrasion and tearing. This material is also lighter and dries faster compared to 100% cotton. Thanks to many pockets and their thoughtful placement, the shorts are perfectly suited for urban use as well as outdoor activities.
Exceptional mobility and durability
Excellent balance between military and civilian clothing – discreet fit and cargo functions. The innovative style, suitable seams, and fabric from which they are made ensure exceptional mobility and durability.
10 spacious pockets
The shorts have ten practical pockets:
- two classic hip-height pockets with reinforced edges
- four on the thighs (two wide with zippers and two narrow with Velcro)
- four at the back (two wide and two narrow placed inside the wide ones)
Easy adjustment to the figure
Instead of a button, the shorts feature a wide Velcro allowing for adjustment within the range of 6 cm. An elastic band is sewn into the waistband to improve fitting to individual body features. Two front belt loops have additional loops at the bottom, allowing for attachment of a carabiner, for example.

After many clothing purchases from Helikon, I decided to try their shorts. I own both length variants: 8.5" and 11". Personally, I prefer the longer version as it ends just below the knee. The material is lightweight and breathable, making the shorts comfortable and almost unnoticeable. At the same time, the fabric is sturdy and the workmanship meticulous, ensuring their longevity. The shorts feature my favourite pocket arrangement, familiar to me from other models like the Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas. Additionally, the shorts are available in a wide range of colours, which is rare among other Helikon products. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend giving them a try!

Very good trousers, they are comfortable and have lots of pockets. Size M fits perfectly for someone with a 90 cm waist and 178 cm height. The velcro fasteners are indeed a great solution.

Helikon-Tex UTS 11" PolyCotton Rip-Stop Shorts - Olive Green fit my figure perfectly (185 cm tall, 94 kg weight) - size L is ideal. The olive colour has just the right tone. The numerous pockets are a big advantage, and the material, with its high cotton content, allows your skin to breathe. I also have the long trousers from this series and I am very pleased with both purchases.

I ordered size S, and I must admit that although men's clothes (even in size S) are usually too big for me, Helikon's sizing is generally a bit smaller, so I can wear an S without it looking oversized. However, in this case, the S turned out to be even larger than with other brands, so it's worth being careful when choosing your size. Despite this, I highly recommend it because the material is exceptionally durable and I probably won't need a new pair for a long time.

As always with Helikon - solid workmanship, well-chosen and practical pockets. The size matches the description, the shorts are very comfortable and perfect for summer days. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
-
Very nice shorts! Just like the longer UTP version, which is also great. The material is breathable, yet sturdy. The colours haven't faded so far. The shorts allow freedom of movement. My only comment is that if you put something in the cargo pocket, it sometimes tucks under your thigh, which can be annoying, for example, when getting into a car. A larger phone, for example, will easily fit into the Velcro-fastened pocket.
-
Wonderful shorts for the summer, I wore them in the forest and walked through many bushes, but the shorts still look as new as before. The elastic band is a very convenient solution, just what you need to wear without a belt.
-
The trousers are comfortable and have many useful pockets, this is already my third pair – it's just a pity that the colour fades and wears off quite quickly.
-
These shorts are very well made and very comfortable. The shorts are true to size. They have plenty of pocket space to keep various items. They came well packaged and delivered in a very fast time.
-
Fantastic shorts. They look stylish and are also very practical! This is already another model that I've bought. The arrangement of the pockets is great! The service in the shop, as always, is of a high standard!
-
The shorts are great, that's why I've already bought a second pair. Very comfortable and have spacious pockets. The small pockets at the back are perfect for a knife, and the magazine pockets easily fit a larger smartphone. I use them all the time. There's no sign of wear, only the colour has faded slightly, but that's normal with intensive use. Highly recommended!
-
Very comfortable shorts. They don't restrict freedom of movement, and thanks to the elastic waistband, they fit well. The pockets are functional and roomy – I don't need a bum bag anymore. Additionally, they're slightly water-resistant.
-
Very comfortable and well-made shorts. Equipped with numerous, functional pockets for small items that I often carry. The material dries instantly, which I appreciated while travelling. Highly recommend!
-
EXCELLENT SHORTS! They have practical pockets, good cut, adjustable waist with Velcro, YKK zips – the only downside is that the buttons tend to fall off. It's already my second pair, only longer. I'll definitely buy more.
