Since the weather has warmed up, I chose a pair of shorts as well as long trousers. Just like the first pair, the size is perfect, they are very comfortable to wear, and the camouflage pattern is great. I also like that the material is light and breathable – ideal for hot days. Another advantage for me is the perfect leg length. The price might be a little off-putting, but overall I am very happy with the purchase and can recommend them.
Helikon-Tex UTS PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop 6" Shorts - Khaki
Tactical UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) in Black, made from high-quality PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric with a grammage of 220 g/m2. The modern fit, reinforced stitching and materials used ensure proper freedom of movement. The large number of pockets and their well-thought-out layout make this model suitable both for use in the city and during outdoor activities.
PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric, 2-Way Elastic technology
The shorts are made from PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane) with a grammage of 220 g/m2, manufactured using 2-Way Elastic technology, which stands out for its high flexibility and resistance to abrasion and tearing. The fabric is responsible for a very good fit and full freedom of movement. The Rip-Stop weave reinforcement effectively limits the spread of any damage over a larger area.
10 practical pockets
The model is equipped with ten practical pockets:
- two classic ones at hip height with reinforced edges
- four on the thighs (two wide zipped and two narrow hook-and-loop)
- four at the back (two wide and two narrow located inside the wide ones)
elastic tape, wide hook-and-loop
Instead of a button, a wide hook-and-loop fastening allowing adjustment within a range of 6 cm was used. An elastic tape was sewn into the waistband to improve the fit of the shorts to individual body features.
YKK zips, wide belt loops
All zips were made by the well-known Japanese company YKK. The loops allow the use of a belt up to 50 mm wide, and the two front ones are additionally fitted with loops for attaching, for example, a carabiner.

Size: XL
At the regular price, they are quite expensive, although I already own quite a few Helikon garments and their quality is consistently very high. There are sometimes comments on foreign websites, but it seems that this rather concerns exports. If there were a sale, I would buy them without hesitation. They are very comfortable, have many pockets, and the zips work smoothly without snagging. This cut is exceptionally short, so it works brilliantly in the current heat. I recommend them.

Size: M
Wonderful shorts for hot days. The leg length is unusually short, which I find very comfortable on hot days. Despite the compact dimensions, the practical pockets offer enough storage space. Clear buying recommendation!
-
Perfect, good value for money. Helikon Tex is not very well known, but makes quality products. Perfect fit, durable, hard-wearing and of very good quality. Recommended. The service from the shop was excellent as always.
-
Great UTS shorts – they fit perfectly, have practical side pockets with zips, and an elastic waistband. The Rhodesian Camo pattern works really well. I highly recommend both the shorts and the Militaria.pl shop.
-
Very nice shorts, extremely comfortable. For a man with a bigger belly, size 3XL works well, although under greater load they may slide down a bit – it's worth tightening them with a belt. In the spring, I plan to buy a longer version because the desert 6 camouflage looks great.
-
I bought these blindly, just based on a YouTube video. And when I received them, I instantly fell in love with them. Very high quality, lots of pockets, there are pockets with Velcro and with zips, which is very convenient. After this, I immediately ordered 2 more pairs in different colours. The sizing chart is accurate in the description. My height is 183 cm, weight 82 kg, I took size L. I recommend them!

I bought the Uts 6'', the 8.5'' and the long version in Rhodesian Bushstroke and have already worn them. Just great wearing comfort, workmanship and wonderful camouflage design. I would be happy if a field shirt in the original pattern could be offered too, preferably with a very high cotton content. That would be great. I have also already ordered Texar products and have been very satisfied with them. Delivery etc. have so far been flawless from my point of view. The stated sizes have matched so far. I don't have ideal measurements, so it's top.
-
Shorts made of solid material, after a whole season of wearing there are no signs of wear and tear. They are comfortable and have a military style. I definitely recommend this model.
-
Durable material, it performs well even in tough conditions and you don’t have to worry about damage. The camouflage looks attractive in real life. The clothing is comfortable and has plenty of pockets, which is definitely an advantage.
-
I already had long trousers in this camouflage, so I decided to buy the shorts. The camouflage is unusual and rather rare. As usual, Helikon provides high quality workmanship. The shorts are light, very comfortable and functional. I am satisfied with the purchase.
-
These are another pair of trousers from this brand that I've bought, this time in the short version. Already tried and tested – they are great to wear. The cut fits the figure well, lots of practical pockets, well-made and without faults. According to the size chart they are a bit too big, but only slightly, which turns out to be beneficial, for example when cycling. I recommend this product.
-
Comfortable summer shorts. An interesting type of camouflage, not often seen, but it looks great in person. The material is solid, resistant to damage. I definitely recommend it.
-
To be honest, the cut at the back could be better, as the material sticks out a bit oddly under the middle belt loop. Other than that, these are very solid shorts.
-
Very good shorts. Excellent workmanship, practical cut and great arrangement and number of pockets. They performed perfectly during heatwaves in Cyprus exceeding 40°C. I particularly like the brush stroke camouflage. I honestly recommend them!
