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.

    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.

    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!

    Size: XXL

    These are quite interesting shorts, and they performed well during hot weather. They have plenty of pockets, so they can be used quite practically, although I missed having additional small pockets near the main ones, like on some other Helikon trousers. As for the downsides: - the sizing is quite unusual — XXL is very snug at the waist and hips, whereas the SFU/Next model in size XL fits me noticeably looser. - a higher rise or some kind of back yoke would be useful, because when bending over they become somewhat uncomfortable and expose the back too much.

    Simply great trousers. This is already the second pair of this model I own, this time khaki ripstops for hot days. Good price after the discount. Delivery was lightning fast as always, I sincerely recommend.

    I had already bought these shorts in grey, beige/sand and Woodland camouflage. So I added the olive version to my collection. They are really well made, the pockets are useful and well placed, and the shorts themselves are well ventilated and dry quickly. And as always, 100% satisfied with my purchases on military.eu, excellent in speed and reliability!

    Great shorts (I have the 11" version), very comfortable, breathable, and sturdy. The Husar Range Belt 2.0 inner belt fits without any problems, so you can wear them to the shooting range :-D The shorts reach just below the knee and have asymmetrical legs, which provide extra protection for the knee. I definitely recommend them! A small suggestion – it's worth ordering one size smaller than indicated in the size chart.

    I can't get over the price of these shorts, which are not expensive at all considering the quality. They're very sturdy, fit perfectly, and are very comfortable to wear, especially during hot weather. I recommend them.

    Loose-fitting and practical shorts, very useful when it's hot, with lots of well-placed and convenient pockets. I already have the long trousers version, which I appreciate a lot, and I bought these shorts in grey as well as in coyote colour.

    The shorts are perfect, they fit perfectly for a very affordable price. Perfect to replace trousers in the summer when it's too hot. I recommend them.

    I was eyeing them for a long time and finally took size 'M' – everything fit very well. The shorts are awesome, I recommend them to everyone who loves this brand and style! They arrived from Poland to Dnipro in a week.

    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.
