Made from durable PoliCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric, providing durability alongside flexibility and comfort, they are equipped with 10 practical pockets for convenient carrying of gear.

construction made from PoliCotton Stretch Rip-Stop

The primary material is PoliCotton Stretch Rip-Stop (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane) with a grammage of 220 g/m2, distinguished by high resistance to abrasions and damage.

Rhodesian Camo

Rhodesian Camo is a classic camouflage pattern developed in the 1960s for the Rhodesian Armed Forces (today's Zimbabwe). Created for warfare during conflicts in the region, especially the so-called Bush War (1964-1979), it was adapted to the conditions of southern Africa - dry bushland, grassy plains and low vegetation. The pattern is distinguished by its unique hand-painted appearance reminiscent of brushstrokes. It consists of irregular horizontal shapes in shades of green and brown, placed on a light green or sandy background. With a three-color contrasting palette and an arrangement that resembles natural elements of the environment - such as leaves, branches and grasses - the camouflage effectively diffuses the outline of the silhouette and makes it difficult to detect in the densely vegetated landscape.

Rip-Stop feature
Rip-Stop

2-Way Elastic feature
2-Way Elastic
2-way elastic is an elastic material that stretches in one direction, usually along the fibers of the fabric. Thanks to this property, it is able to provide greater freedom of movement, while maintaining proper form and structure. Stretching in one direction allows clothing to fit more snugly to the body, which increases comfort.
PolyCotton Stretch feature
PolyCotton Stretch
PolyCotton Stretch is a modern fabric that is a combination of cotton and polyester with the addition of elastic fibers, most often elastane. Such a set combines the breathability and softness of cotton with the durability and resilience of polyester and elasticity that provides freedom of movement. This material is pleasant to the touch, dries faster than pure cotton, creases less and fits better.

    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.

    Great beige Bermuda shorts from the Helikon-Tex brand, the material is very durable and the number of pockets is impressive. The Velcro fastening is very interesting, as is the elasticated band that allows the shorts to be adjusted perfectly.

    Great cut - Rhodesian camo! Size is also good. The best size chart is on Military.eu! Comfortable and breathable. Leg length is perfect for summer. The pockets are also very well arranged! Recommended!

    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.

    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 Military 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.
