Helikon-Tex UTS 11" PolyCotton Rip-Stop Shorts - Black

Modern tactical shorts UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) made from high-quality PoliCotton RipStop fabric (60% cotton, 37% polyester, 3% elastane) offer exceptional resistance to abrasion and tearing. They are lighter than 100% cotton fabrics and dry much faster. The thoughtfully arranged pockets make these shorts ideal for urban environments and outdoor activities.

Above-average freedom of movement and durability

A perfect combination of military and civilian clothing features — a subdued cut and the functionality of cargo trousers. Innovative construction, carefully positioned seams, and the fabric used ensure outstanding freedom of movement and high durability.

10 spacious pockets

The shorts are equipped with ten functional pockets:

  • two classic hip pockets with reinforced edges
  • four thigh pockets (two wide with zippers and two narrow secured with Velcro)
  • four back pockets (two wide and two narrow placed inside the wide ones)

Easy fit of the trousers to the figure

Instead of a traditional button, a broad Velcro strap adjustable by 6 cm is used. The waistband also features an elastic tape for a better fit to the body. Additional loops at the lower part of the front belt loops allow for attaching, for example, a carabiner.

    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!

    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.

    Loose-fitting and stylish shorts, very useful when it's hot, with lots of well-placed and practical pockets. I already have the long trouser version that I really like and I also bought these shorts in another colour.

    I have been wearing these shorts for three years now and they are still very comfortable. The material is great quality and the shorts look like new. I definitely recommend this product.

    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.

    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.
