The shorts are very well made, comfortable, and well stitched, with plenty of pockets that do not attract attention. They are suitable both for everyday use and outdoor activities. They are functional, slightly stretchy, but not overly elastic. However, it's worth paying attention to the sizing — I usually buy M from Helikon, but here I needed size XL (at 82 kg and 179 cm tall).
Greyman Tactical shorts manufactured from durable DuraCanvas, which is a combination of cotton, polyester and elastane. A special sewn-in gusset in the crotch provides a full range of movement and allows you to move comfortably in any conditions.
With spacious pockets and low-profile design, they are comfortable and functional. They will find use as everyday shorts, accommodating all necessary EDC accessories.
Trousers are equipped with nine pockets:
- two classic ones at hip height,
- one slim pocket integrated into the right front pocket,
- two smaller open pockets at the front,
- four pockets at the back.
Trousers are characterized by a wide velcro waistband for adjustment, zipper fastened with a reliable YKK zipper, and wide belt loops with a width of up to 50 mm.

Well-made, comfortable shorts for warm days. The number of pockets is sufficient. The phone pocket could be better designed to secure the device from being lost. A tab, like in the SFU Next trousers, could solve this problem.
-
Really nice and practical shorts that look good. The colour really matches the one in the photos. At 185 cm tall and 87 kg, size L is perfect. Although described as “tactical”, they look good enough to wear not only for trips to the forest. The downside is the loose threads which I had to cut off.
-
The shorts are extremely comfortable. I really appreciate the elastic waistband, which provides a comfortable fit when sitting down. The material is abrasion-resistant. I definitely recommend them.
-
Solidly made and well-fitted shorts; high-quality material. Very comfortable, they have plenty of pockets where everything fits. They're great for walks and hikes. I recommend this product.
-
The shorts have quite a slim cut. I'm 195 cm tall, weigh 115 kg, and with a waist circumference of 110 cm, I chose XXL – they fit very snugly, so maybe I'd even consider a bigger size, although the waist difference is up to about 6 cm. They're comfortable, the material looks good, but I haven't noticed the stretchiness that others mentioned – maybe that's due to the 2% elastane.
-
The trousers are well made and have a nice colour. The material is rather stiff and hardly stretches at all. As for sizing, I think they run small – L is a bit too tight, and XL would probably be too big. Still, at the promotional price, it's a good purchase.
-
The shorts seem fine, but lack practicality – especially cargo pockets. The material is really excellent, durable, and at the same time flexible. Due to the cut, it's better to choose a bigger size – I bought the same as UTS, which fit me perfectly, and these barely fastened. Overall, I decided to return them because Helikon offers more comfortable shorts.
-
The shorts are great, I also have the long versions in three colours and I really value both their cut and the DuraCanvas fabric. Unfortunately, this time I blindly picked XL and for the first time with Helikon I have to exchange for XXL. I have just returned them (big plus for free returns at Militaria.pl). I recommend being careful with the sizing – the shorts are really excellent.
-
The shorts are well made, sit nicely, have a durable material and lots of pockets. Greyman meets all the features of typical military shorts. It has thoughtfully designed pockets, a very dark colour, and seems more fitted and tighter than the longer models. I definitely recommend it.
-
The shorts have a good cut, the pockets are thoughtfully placed, and the material is pleasant. In my opinion, it is worth considering choosing a larger size than with traditional tactical trousers, because in the greyman concept the pockets are sewn inside, which can make the shorts feel tighter when loaded.
-
Very good shorts. This is already my second purchase, the previous ones are green. The Helikon material works great during various activities. I wear these shorts both every day and when going outdoors or to the mountains. I can wholeheartedly recommend them!
-
I think Helikon trousers/shorts are incredibly functional. I don't feel like wearing any other model. Although they look ordinary, the great pocket arrangement means everything is at hand and easily accessible.
-
These are my favourite shorts – I have them in three colours and all of them are great. The material is high quality and the cut is even better. I definitely recommend them!
-
Good shorts. I also have a model of these shorts with a longer leg. The pockets are arranged the same way, but the sizes vary a bit – these shorts are a bit more fitted. In the full version, size L is comfortable, but with these shorts I am already on the verge of the size.
