Great trousers for hot days. In the mud brown shade, they do not look like typical military clothing. The zips are solid and do not open by themselves. I recommend this product.
OTS (Outdoor Tactical Shorts) - an upgraded variant of the popular UTS(Urban Tactical Shorts) model. Compared to the UTS shorts, the OTS model is made of VersaStretch Lite material - characterized by exceptional lightness and breathability. Teflon coating on the outside of the material increases its resistance to stains/dirt.
Thanks to the large number of pockets and their rational arrangement, these shorts are perfect for urban conditions, and will not disappoint during outdoor activities.
An excellent compromise between military and civilian clothing - discreet cut, functionality of combat shorts.
Innovative cut, appropriate stitching and fabric of the trousers provide above-average freedom of movement and durability.
The trousers have ten pockets:
- two classic mesh pockets at hip level having reinforced edges,
- four on the thighs (two wide mesh pockets closed with a zipper and two narrow Velcro pockets),
- four on the back (two wide mesh pockets and two narrow ones located inside the wide ones).
Instead of a button, the trousers have a wide Velcro allowing adjustment of about 6 cm. The waistband of the trousers is sewn with an elastic band, improving the fit of the trousers to the individual characteristics of the figure.The opening is closed with a zipper made by the well-known Japanese company YKK
Two front belt loops in the lower part have additional loops, allowing to hook up, for example, a carabiner.

The shorts are very comfortable. The material is pleasant to the touch, elastic and breathable, and at the same time very light – practically unnoticeable when worn. Especially comfortable to use in high temperatures. There are many useful pockets. I only have reservations about the shared flap over the two side pockets – this design means access to the zip is blocked by the Velcro of the neighbouring pocket. I would prefer the flaps to be separate. Despite this, the whole product is excellent – a great choice especially for hot days. It would be good to have even more colour versions, preferably in different camouflages. I definitely recommend them!

I definitely recommend them – at 175 cm tall and weighing around 85 kg, size XL fits perfectly. The shorts are lightweight, airy, do not restrict movement, great for kayaking, and dry quickly!

The shorts are extremely comfortable, made of a pleasant to the touch, elastic, and lightweight material that you can hardly feel on your body. They work great in hot weather and have lots of practical pockets. My only reservation is about the design of the side pockets – one flap covers two separate pockets (one with Velcro and one with a zip), which makes access to the zip sometimes tricky. I would split this flap into two separate ones. However, this does not change the fact that the shorts are very comfortable and great for hot days. It would be good to have more colour options, preferably in various camouflage patterns. Overall, highly recommended!

I bought these shorts as a spare for the UTS for warmer days, so for now they're lying in my backpack. As usual, they are very functional. We'll see if the thinner material works well when carrying more items.

The shorts are very comfortable, they're not tight on the body, made from a pleasant material that's easy to clean. They have lots of practical pockets and Velcro instead of a button, which holds well. I recommend them.

If you like the UTP model but find it too hot in the summer, these shorts will be perfect – they are breathable, have all the necessary pockets, and don't restrict movement. The adjustable waistband means you can skip the belt.
-
I highly recommend these comfortable trousers – they are durable, lightweight, and made of strong material. They are perfect for sports and camping, dry quickly and fit well.
-
Excellent trousers, incredibly light, comfortable and durable – this is already my second pair. I can wholeheartedly recommend them for cycling, camping, or other outdoor activities – they have very spacious pockets.
-
The trousers are comfortable, lightweight, waterproof and pleasantly warm. The stretch fabric is durable and resistant to damage, and the number of pockets is so great that it is hard to count them all. The hook-and-loop fastening holds well but still allows freedom of movement during activity and doesn't dig into the waist.

Very comfortable and practical shorts, the material is stretchy and breathable, they are great to wear, very comfortable. Excellent both for mountain trips and forest walks, perfect during hot days.
-
The best shorts I’ve ever had! Very light, comfortable, great pockets that are easily accessible. The ripstop version is more breathable. Definitely worth the price – I recommend them.
-
The trousers are great, but Velcro instead of a button is a bad idea. The shirt gets caught on the Velcro and gets damaged, and if it's not fastened properly, it can irritate the stomach when bending over. During washing, everything sticks to it. I have to take them to a tailor to have the Velcro replaced with a button.

Great shorts – they are pleasant to the touch, lightweight, airy, and made of good quality material. They are also very functional with lots of pockets. The price isn’t the lowest, but the purchase is definitely worth it. I recommend them!

They are really great. The material is light and breathable, and the pockets are very practical. They fit very well on a tall and slim person, and the legs are the right width. I also bought the UTS version in a different colour because they are equally fantastic.
