ERDL Camouflage

The ERDL (Engineer Research and Development Laboratory) camouflage was developed in 1948 by an American research laboratory. It did not come into wide use until the 1960s, during the Vietnam War, mainly among special and reconnaissance units. It was on its basis that later designs, such as the Woodland and M81, known around the world today, were developed. The green-brown camouflage palette works well in dense vegetation, European deciduous forests, thickets and mixed woodlands.

Rip-Stop feature
Rip-Stop

Rip-Stop weave protects the fabric from abrasions and tears. It is characterized by additional threads woven in at regular intervals, forming a mesh-like pattern. It provides high strength to the fabric, increases resistance to mechanical damage, especially tears.

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.

    Size: XL

    These are truly very successful shorts – they’re comfortable and perfectly suited to use outdoors. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, while also being durable thanks to the Rip-Stop structure. A major advantage is the large number of pockets and their practical arrangement, which easily accommodate a phone, wallet, keys, and other small items, so there’s no need to take an extra pouch or rucksack. The shorts fit well, do not restrict movement, and the hook-and-loop waist adjustment makes it easy to achieve a perfect fit. The 8.5-inch length is very comfortable for me, as the legs end above the knee. I use them both day to day and on trips or outdoor outings. The quality of workmanship is very high – they are definitely worth recommending.

    Very comfortable shorts thanks to the Velcro instead of a traditional button – they are easy to adjust at the waist. The pockets are spacious and functional, and accessing them is effortless. There is plenty of room in the thighs, which is not always standard. I am also pleased that it is a product of a Polish brand. I definitely recommend them.

    The shorts are super comfortable, and thanks to the hook-and-loop fastening at the waist, they fit like a glove. The many pockets are also ideal. And the quality and workmanship are first-rate.

    Size: 4XL

    Excellent workmanship in the Helikon style. Very functional and practical. For me, they could be a little longer, but that is more a matter of individual preference. They are comfortable, lightweight, and look good. A hook-and-loop fastening is essential for me, and I can’t imagine going back to buttons anymore. At this price, I don’t see any real competition. Excellent.

    Size: XXL

    Perfect shorts for summer trips. Although they have Zimbabwean military camouflage, they look more like a classic holiday pattern with a woodland and floral motif. They have plenty of pockets, are lightweight, and very comfortable. I recommend them.

    Excellent shorts and I've bought more than one pair of these recently as they're that good. Quality is excellent and they fit well with plenty of good sized pockets too. Initially I was sceptical about the velcro fastening but having used it I find it's better than a button.

    This style is very comfortable to wear. I also tried the shorter ones, but on an adult man they looked a bit odd ;) These are my favourite shorts for the summer.

    The shorts are very comfortable thanks to the Velcro at the waist instead of a button. The workmanship and material are very high quality. Thanks to many pockets they are very practical.

    The fabric and workmanship are of good quality, with many practical pockets, some of which are zippered. The size may be a bit large; I took size M for 1.82m and 73kg and I need a belt, but overall I'm quite satisfied with the product and I recommend it.

    At the moment, these are my favourites – comfortable, dense, not too warm, a stain came out quickly and dried fast, the grey colour is very pleasant, the Velcro on the waistband is convenient and there are no problems with adjusting the belt.

    The trousers are comfortable and well made – typical for Helikon. The number of pockets and their placement are just right. In my case, size L turned out to be perfect (I'm 178 cm tall and weigh 82 kg).

    Comfortable to wear, fits perfectly. Dries quickly. Just as effective as the trousers from the same brand and the numerous pockets allow you to carry everything with you.

    Great fabric. It's very soft and thin but sturdy. Khaki colour is great. The very disappointing part is the cut. It's loose in the waist, but tight in the hips. I guess it was made for JohnnyBravos and not for lawn-cutting dads :D

    Very high-quality shorts, the material is pleasant, quite functional, not too hot in the heat, lots of pockets and the size matches exactly, I recommend buying.

    Perfect fit, nothing pinches or rubs! Brilliant pocket arrangement. Very well made and crafted from pleasant fabric! For the price, simply top trousers and definitely not my last pair! ;)
