The Denim Stretch trousers differ in cut from other UTP models (Canvas/Ripstop) and are noticeably smaller than the same trousers made from other materials. Even when fully stretched, they remain smaller. The photos show the Denim Stretch in size M Reg next to the Canvas model in M Reg size.
Helikon-Tex UTP PolyCotton Rip-Stop Trousers - US Woodland
UTP (Urban Tactical Pants) tactical trousers made of high-quality PolyCotton RipStop fabric with elastane (60% cotton, 37% polyester, 3% elastane), which is exceptionally resistant to abrasion and tearing. This fabric is lighter and dries faster than pure cotton, which increases comfort. The thoughtful placement of numerous pockets makes this model ideal for urban environments as well as outdoor activities.
Combination of comfort and durability
A unique combination of military and civilian style – a discreet design combined with the functionality of combat trousers.
The modern fit, carefully planned seams and high-quality fabric ensure excellent freedom of movement and durability.
12 practical pockets
This model offers twelve pockets, including:
- two classic hip pockets with reinforced edges
- four thigh pockets (two spacious zippered pockets and two narrower Velcro pockets)
- four back pockets (two wide Velcro pockets and two smaller pockets inside the wide ones)
- two internal pockets in the groin area, ideal for a tactical torch or spare magazine
Additionally, there are special pockets at knee height for protective inserts.
Precise fit
Instead of a classic button, a wide Velcro fastener has been used, which allows for 6 cm of adjustment. An elastic band sewn into the waist improves the fit and increases comfort.
The two front belt loops are equipped with additional loops that can be used to attach a carabiner, for example.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

The trousers are extremely comfortable and durable. The Velcro fastening instead of a button I consider an advantage. The sizes are correct. I highly recommend these trousers, they are also suitable for everyday use.

I have three pairs of these trousers in different colours and I'm satisfied with their quality. However, it's worth remembering that the stretch models should be ordered one size up. With my height of 180 cm and weight of 90 kg, I bought two previous models made of fabric in size L, but for these I had to go for XL because L was too tight. As for durability, I'm confident – I've had the first pair for over a year, the second pair almost a year, and nothing has gone wrong with them. Each pair is used intensively and washed regularly, and there are no signs of wear. The stretch version seems even more durable and has thicker material. They're very comfortable to wear and I generally recommend them.

The trousers are very comfortable, they adapt to movement, and have well-designed and numerous pockets. It would be worth considering using Velcro or a zip in the back pockets. It's a pity there isn't a short version in the size range. I definitely recommend these trousers.

Hello, The trousers are very comfortable, durable, and versatile with a large number of pockets of various sizes. On summer days they are actually airy and light, suitable for everyday use, work, and the outdoors. I already have a second pair and highly recommend them.
-
A well-designed fit, which can be seen, among other things, in the convenient access to the pockets whether I am standing or kneeling. I think I already have about 5 pairs in different shades. The dark-coloured ones up close look like ordinary trousers.
-
I now have 2 pairs of trousers in this model and I am more than satisfied. The price/performance ratio is excellent. The fabric is pleasant to wear and, even after many washes, has neither distorted nor shrunk, and the colour is still as it was on the first day. The wearing comfort is superb and the pockets are positioned so that you hardly notice the contents.
-
I recommend these trousers – they are suitable for winter thanks to their thickness, so they protect well against the cold. They will not be suitable during heat waves or rain. Thanks to the addition of elastane, they are comfortable and provide freedom of movement. The pockets are well designed – they don't hit the knees, and there are enough of them.
-
The trousers are well-made from durable material. The price is attractive in relation to the quality of workmanship. The order was completed quickly and without any issues; time will tell how they hold up during longer use.
-
The trousers are well made, the sizes match the table, and they are very comfortable to wear. The order was processed quickly and without any difficulties – I could collect them the very next day. I definitely recommend it.

Helikon UTP PolyCotton Rip-Stop trousers are a classic choice in their category. They have an interesting and functional design, which works well both for everyday use and for more demanding activities, such as at the shooting range. The pockets are well designed and there is provision for knee pads. The material and colour are excellent. Highly recommended.

Helikon UTP PolyCotton Rip-Stop are classic trousers of their type. They have a comfortable and well thought-out cut, making them suitable both for everyday wear and for more demanding tasks, such as at the shooting range. The pockets are well planned, and knee pads can be added as well. The material and colour are very good. I definitely recommend them.
-
Fantastic trousers, very comfortable to wear, with lots of pockets placed almost everywhere. I especially recommend the light colours, because on the black ones hairs and small particles are easy to see.
-
I chose size M at a height of 1.77 m and a weight of 80 kg, the trousers fit perfectly and after the first tests I feel they will become one of my favourites!
-
Very good denim trousers, they have plenty of pockets and are well made. At first, I wasn't convinced by the Velcro instead of a button, but it turned out to be practical. The trousers have quite a high waist, but the elastic waistband makes them fit well even without a belt.
