Helikon MCDU Polycotton Stretch Rip-Stop Trousers - ERDL / Olive Green

In my opinion, these are the best trousers from Helikon. Excellent workmanship, a large adjustment range, plenty of pockets, and they are very breathable. At this price, you probably won't find anything better. If you're considering buying tactical trousers, these will be ideal.

The trousers are very solidly made, practical, and very comfortable to wear. The sizing matches the description. However, I wouldn’t have decided to buy them at the regular price, but on offer for 350 PLN, I think they are really worth it.

The Desert Night camouflage looks great, and the trousers present themselves very well. I have no complaints about the quality, the number or the capacity of the pockets. They fit well, and the size matches the chart. I recommend them without hesitation.

It's hard to add anything after such a detailed previous review, but the fact is that photos never reflect how things really look. I bought these shorts for about 320 PLN – if I had paid 430 PLN, I’d probably have returned them, because the pockets aren’t as spacious as they look in the photos. That band of fabric at the back, like in sports shorts, seems thick and not very durable. I hope I'm wrong :)

The trousers' style refers to classic airborne military uniforms from the era of the Polish People's Republic, but it has been improved and meets today's requirements. There are many interesting camouflage variations available.

The product is very well made, from high-quality materials. I really like the model. I've been using it for over a year and have no negative comments. Perfect for everyday use with jobs that don't require exceptionally durable fabric. I recommend it.

I have been using it for over a month and I am really very satisfied. I don't use most of the pockets. One advantage is the wide, adjustable leg. The hook-and-loop fastener at the waist is sufficient; I don't use a belt for this.

The stitching is very precise and the details are refined, even in the smallest aspects. The overall design is well thought-out and functional. I bought it for everyday use and I can definitely recommend it to others. After a month of use, I intend to write another review.

I am 180 cm tall, weigh 95 kg, and chose size XL. I received the trousers for Father’s Day. They look great – the Desert Night Camo version really stands out compared to the popular patterns like Woodland, Flecktarn, Marpat, Pantera or the 'Minecraft pixels' you can see at ranges and on the streets. The material currently feels stiff and rough, which is typical for Rip Stop that hasn’t been washed in a Polish washing machine yet :) However, I do have a few remarks: 1. The decorative strip of material on the thigh pockets doesn’t add to their capacity, but it should – especially for this price. 2. The hip pockets are very good and deep, while the thigh (front and back) ones aren’t very roomy and have a small, mesh pocket inside, which I don’t know what it’s for. The rear thigh pockets with velcro are shallow – no idea what to put there, maybe empty magazines? The pockets at the front and back will fit a magazine, multitool or smartphone in a case. 3. The elastic insert at the back (on the hips), designed to provide comfort, doesn’t inspire confidence – it looks like the weakest element and could wear through. To sum up – the trousers are interesting, but for this price, it’s better to see them in person first and think carefully.

I believe these are the best Helikon trousers – made very solidly, with many pockets, they are comfortable and breathable and offer a wide range of adjustment. In my opinion, it's hard to find a better choice at this price. If you need tactical trousers, it's definitely worth choosing them.

I was waiting for this colour version. The trousers fit well and have an interesting style. The only downside is the price, but a Helikon-Tex fan will do anything to have them ;)
