Earlier review – I have to admit, it doesn’t look like cheap polyester, and it’s definitely solid and will perform well both in dust and mud. I have quite a few things from Helikon and it’s definitely not cheap rubbish :) Besides, they are very comfortable.
Helikon-Tex Treadstone Jeans - Ocean Blue
Treadstone tactical jeans equipped with 8 pockets, made of durable DuraDenim knitted fabric with a touch of elastane fibres. The name refers to the Jason Bourne universe, where Treadstone referred to a top-secret CIA programme. The model combines military functionality with a discreet civilian cut, making them a practical choice for everyday and outdoor activities.
Durable DuraDemin material
The trousers are made from DuraDenim fabric, which combines denim fibres with Cordura at a grammage of 377 g/m2. The material is highly resistant to abrasion and tears, while being lighter and quicker drying than traditional 100% cotton fabrics, ensuring greater comfort in a variety of conditions.
8 practical pockets
The trousers are equipped with eight pockets:

The classic cut is nice and the size matches other models – those are the advantages. The downsides, however, are the price and the material. For this price, the customer should get proper classic denim, not a polyester fabric reminiscent of cheap supermarket products. After only a week of use, pilling started to appear around the crotch. This does not bode well for durability, which is a major drawback.
-
The trousers make a very good impression, the addition of elastane in tactical trousers, especially in combination with Cordura, is a great idea. The material is a bit thinner than traditional jeans, and the legs at the bottom could be narrower. I definitely recommend them, although the price is quite high.
-
Nice style. Classic straight jeans 👖. The material is very pleasant to the touch. Size M matches the actual size. I am very satisfied, although the price could be lower, but you have to pay for good quality.
-
The trousers are as comfortable as sweatpants, look almost like traditional jeans, and their capacity is reminiscent of cargo pants – for me, they are perfect. The cut is a bit more relaxed than standard, and the sizing is very precise. The material seems light and delicate, but the trousers are really solid and durable. I recommend them, they are worth buying.
-
The workmanship is fine, but the material seems quite thin, and only time will tell how durable it will be. The colour of the trousers is lighter than in the picture. I thought they would be somewhat stiffer. The price after the discount is reasonable. They don't differ significantly from regular jeans, so I probably won't buy another pair.
-
The trousers are well made, but the material seems thin and not very sturdy. It could use more stiffness. The denim fabric feels light, so only time will tell how they wear. The size is appropriate. The cut is classic with a tactical touch thanks to the back pocket on the waistband, but there’s nothing particularly exciting about it.
-
The combination of the traditional jeans style with the practicality of workwear is very successful. The subdued colour means they're perfect for everyday use, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement. It's a great option for those who choose a universal look while paying attention to functionality and durability.
-
Great trousers. The material is soft, stretchy and very comfortable. The stitching is precise and neat. There are plenty of pockets, with classic but not very deep ones at the front. I definitely recommend them.
-
The trousers are very well made, very comfortable and have plenty of pockets. The elastic material means they do not restrict your freedom of movement. The loose fit I like has worked out perfectly. I definitely recommend them.
-
This is my first purchase of jeans from this brand and I am very satisfied. Excellent workmanship, durability and practical pockets of a high standard. If Helikon releases this model in another colour, I will gladly buy another pair. I fully recommend it.
-
Overall the trousers are nice, the jeans are of good quality. However, I was disappointed with the loose fit – they rest very loosely on the shoes; in my opinion, they should be a little stiffer, especially since they are supposed to be “tactical” and fit the leg better, while not restricting movement. They’re fine for everyday outings around town, but for the forest or shooting range I wouldn't recommend them.
-
The trousers are made from a very pleasant material and have a universal appearance. The downside, in my opinion, is the very loose fit. Size 32/32 comes up like other trousers in size 33 or 34/32. People with strong thighs should be satisfied ;)
-
They look like ordinary trousers, which is an advantage over the greyman model. They are very comfortable. The size matches other Helikon trousers, so if you have, for example, UTPs, you can confidently choose the same size.
-
The trousers are comfortable and have a loose fit, they are pleasant to walk in. There are many pockets, although in my opinion they are a bit too shallow – a 6.2'' phone sticks out of the back one, and a folding knife barely fits in the tactical hip pockets.
