The size chart suits women with a slim waist. The shorts have a very nice cut and are made of good materials, but my wife had to return them – despite her slim figure, she was left with a bit of a 'tummy' after pregnancy and couldn't manage to fasten them.

As always, Helikon offers high quality. This is a renowned Polish brand that pays attention to detail and uses the best materials. The shorts are extremely light yet solid at the same time – we’ll see how they perform in the long run. They don’t restrict movement and have plenty of pockets. Perfect for mountain trips. I recommend them, it’s a high-level product.

As is usually the case with Helikon products, the shorts turned out to be excellent. Both the colours and the functionality are of a high standard. My wife does great in them during mountain trips, but they are also just as suitable for the city.
-
The shorts were bought as a present and immediately turned out to be a hit – they were worn right away. The size fits perfectly, and both the colour and material are very good. The person who received them is extremely satisfied.
-
My wife thinks these are the most comfortable and suitable shorts she has ever received as a gift. They are perfect for cycling and hiking. The material is durable, breathable, and so far hasn't faded. At the moment, she highly recommends them.

My wife thinks these are the best and most suitable shorts she has ever received as a gift. They are perfect for cycling or hiking. The material is durable and breathable, and so far it hasn't faded. In short, everything is fine so far.

Very good shorts for holiday walks and cycling trips. The material rustled a bit and I was worried whether it would be breathable, but after a few hours of riding everything was fine. The fit is comfortable and the practical pockets will fit not only a phone or keys. They sit well and do not restrict movement. At 170 cm tall and 55 kg, size M was suitable. I think they will become my favourite shorts.
-
The trousers are light and flexible. Size M fits a height of 175 cm and a weight of 63 kg. So far, there has been no damage, even when playing with an energetic dog. I hope they will last a long time. Well worth the price.

My wife is very satisfied, which is most important to me. Helikon never disappoints – a solid Polish company that designs and produces with attention to detail and from high-quality materials. Delivery was as stated on the website, arriving the very next day.

Purchased as a gift for my wife – she is pleased with them. They are very light, yet sturdy. It's hard to assess their durability for now – time will tell. They do not restrict movement and have plenty of pockets. They work well for mountain trips.
