The shorts are extremely lightweight and breathable, and they dry very quickly after washing. They have plenty of pockets, and the elastic material ensures high wearing comfort. These are very functional trousers. Even after several washes, the colour does not change. I definitely recommend them.

OTS (Outdoor Tactical ShortsÂŽ) - an upgraded variant of the popular UTSÂŽ (Urban Tactical Shorts) model. Compared to the UTS shorts, the OTS model is made of material VersaStretchÂŽ Lite - which is 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 will be perfect for urban conditions, they will also not disappoint during outdoor activities.
The perfect compromise between military and civilian clothing - discreet cut, functionality of combat trousers.
The innovative cut, proper stitching and the fabric of the shorts provide average freedom of movement and durability.
The shorts are equipped with ten pockets:
- two classic mesh pockets at hip height with reinforced edges,
- four on the thighs (two wide mesh pockets closed with a zipper and two narrow ones with Velcro),
- four on the back (two wide mesh pockets and two narrow ones located inside the wide ones).
The shorts instead of a button are equipped with a wide Velcro enabling adjustment of about 6 cm. The waistband of the shorts has been sewn elastic band, improving the fit of the shorts to the individual features of the silhouette. The shorts are closed with a zipper made by a well-known Japanese company YKK.
The two front belt loops at the bottom are equipped with additional loops, allowing you to hook up, for example, a carabiner.

Light, airy shorts, ideal for everyday use on hot days. For me, they're a bit too stretchy, so they cling more at the back, but maybe that'll change after washing. Overall, I'm satisfied.
-
The colour is great – it stands out among the standard greys (although I really like grey too). Very comfortable and practical. Perfect for the mountains, everyday use, training, cycling or the shooting range. The pockets are arranged just like in the long trousers (I already have the set), so handling at the range is intuitive (both at competitions and training). Attractive price. Very fast delivery (even faster than declared). I wholeheartedly recommend the Militaria.pl shop!
-
They're great. I also have the black and red versions, but these are my favourites. A worthwhile investment; besides, the grey colour disguises stains better than black. They are lightweight, breathable and dry very quickly. I honestly recommend both the shorts and the shop.
-
The shorts perform brilliantly, the material is soft and pleasant to the touch. They are breathable and very comfortable during hikes and long periods of sitting. Size M fits perfectly for a height of 176 cm and weight of 78 kg.

Ordered yesterday, picked up today, and tomorrow off to the mountains! Thanks militaria.pl! The trousers are great, light, and airy – perfect for hot days. The huge number of pockets is impressive. Highly recommended!
-
Fantastic shorts, they are easy to adjust thanks to the Velcro fastening, which holds very well. The material is excellent, lightweight and airy, ideal for hot days. They dry quickly, and after washing, they did not change at all.
-
These shorts are fantastic! They are somewhat reminiscent of UTS, but made from an even better material. The fabric is flexible, not overly stretchy, and allows complete freedom of movement. They work brilliantly for cycling or hiking in the mountains. Perfect for summer as they dry quickly and are very breathable. The cut and pockets are great, just like in the UTSs. I liked them so much that I bought another pair.
-
I can honestly recommend these shorts. They are very comfortable and breathable, and thanks to the large number of pockets, I can easily fit all the necessary EDC bits. This is already another pair I have.
-
I wholeheartedly recommend them. The shorts are very comfortable, airy, and thanks to numerous pockets you can easily fit EDC items. I already have several pairs.
-
These shorts are fantastic! They are improved UTSs, made of better fabric – stretchy, but not excessively so, which allows freedom of movement. They will work brilliantly for mountain hikes or cycling. They're also great for hot weather because they dry very quickly and provide ventilation. Tested on the bike at 35°C – they passed the test. Nice cut, functional pocket arrangement just like the classic UTS.
-
This is really a good product. The shorts are comfortable to wear and have many practically placed pockets. The velcro at the waistband works well, I hope it remains durable. The material dries quickly and stretches very well where it is needed.
-
I wholeheartedly recommend these trousers – I bought several pairs for my family when they saw how light, airy and stretchy they are. They fit movements perfectly and don't restrict anything. It's worth paying attention to sizing – I chose the one I usually wear and everything fits.
-
In my opinion, this product is the best option when it comes to comfort and breathability of the material. It has plenty of pockets, and the Velcro at the waist allows for easy adjustment.
-
I give five stars because these shorts are perfect for me – they are light, comfortable and do not restrict movement. The pockets are very spacious. Helikon Tex, great job! Thanks to Militaria for the express delivery.
