Very good trousers with many pockets. They look great and fit the figure perfectly. I am 185 cm tall and weigh 95 kg, and size XL fits perfectly. A big advantage is the Velcro instead of a button, which allows for an additional 6-centimetre adjustment at the waist, making it easier to fit the size.
Helikon UTP PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop Trousers - Tiger Stripe
UTP (Urban Tactical Trousers) trousers are made of high-quality 220 g/m2 PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop material, which is characterized by high resistance to abrasion and tearing. Thanks to the numerous pockets and their rational arrangement, the model will be very suitable both in urban conditions and during outdoor activities.
Durable PolyCotton Stretch fabric, abrasion-resistant lining and Rip-Stop weave
The 220 g/m2 PolyCotton Stretch fabric used for the trousers is a combination of breathable cotton (50%), damage-resistant polyester (48%) and stretchable elastane (2%). It fits very snugly, and also features abrasion and tear resistance, and is lighter and dries faster than 100% cotton fabric.
Thicker Rip-Stop weave threads form a mesh that reinforces the fabric and prevents any damage from spreading to a larger area.
12 practical pockets and compartments for protective inserts
The trousers are equipped with twelve pockets:
- two classic ones at hip height with reinforced edges,
- four on the thighs (two wide ones closed with a zipper and two narrow ones with Velcro),
- four on the back (two wide and two narrow ones located inside the wide ones),
- two internal pockets at groin level that can be used to carry a tactical torch or spare magazine.
In addition, inside the legs at the level of the knees there are compartments giving the possibility of placing protective inserts in them.
Wide velcro for width adjustment, elastic webbing, and loops for the equipment
A wide Velcro instead of a button allows adjustment within 6 cm. An elastic band was sewn into the waistband of the trousers to improve the fit of the trousers to the individual features of the figure. The two front belt loops have been equipped with additional loops for attaching, for example, a carabiner.

Tiger Stripe camouflage
Tiger Stripe is a family of camouflage patterns originating in Southeast Asia, the most popular variant of which is the pattern developed in the Republic of Vietnam. Its design is based on the French Lizard pattern, adapted for tropical conditions. Tiger Stripe consists of irregular, brushstroke-like stripes in shades of green and brown and wider, grayish lines, placed on an olive or khaki background. Such an arrangement works particularly well in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it effectively camouflages the silhouette among low and medium vegetation. The camouflage makes it difficult to detect at close range and allows one to blend into the dynamic, shaded vegetation background. The name "Tiger Stripe" alludes to the coat of tigers - the pattern imitates the natural striped color pattern, which works well in conditions that require effective contour breakdown in dense greenery.

I was never convinced by rip-stop material, but I decided to buy these trousers for intensive use and I am very pleasantly surprised – they are excellent, I’ve already ordered another model in black.
-
The cargo trousers are functional and solid. They have lots of practical pockets that are well arranged and comfortable to wear. The colour looks great and matches my expectations exactly. I definitely recommend them.
-
Not much to say – great trousers, very stretchy, which makes them very comfortable for work and daily use. The camouflage is a matter of taste, but I really like it. I managed to catch them on sale, I highly recommend – it was a good purchase.
-
A huge advantage is the possibility to insert protective pads. The Rhodesian camouflage looks very good. The trousers are functional and comfortable, and the placement of the pockets is very much to my liking. Unfortunately, choosing the correct size can be problematic, but this often happens with Helikon products.
-
The camouflage trousers are very comfortable and well made. The material is of high quality, and the whole thing is comfortable for everyday use. It's a good choice for people looking for a more tactical style.
-
I am really satisfied with these trousers – they are very durable and performed well in various weather conditions. They are also great for work, especially due to the large number of functional pockets.
-
Unfortunately, this is already the second pair of Helikon trousers where the seams are coming apart. I think that at this price and with the intended use, these trousers shouldn't have such problems.
-
The trousers are made with great care and are very durable. They are comfortable and functional thanks to the relaxed fit and numerous pockets. The green colour of the material looks exceptionally nice. I sincerely recommend the purchase.
-
Very good trousers, extremely comfortable even without a belt, they don’t restrict movement. The pockets are arranged practically – especially the back and side ones. The camouflage looks great in person. Highly recommended.
-
The trousers are very lightweight and comfortable. I appreciate the Velcro fastening and the elastic band sewn into the waist. The camouflage colours are vivid and strong. I’m taking off a star because the legs are too wide – they’re not suitable as city trousers for ordinary shoes. I’m 185 cm tall and weigh 78 kg – size L fits, the trousers stay up without a belt and are comfortable.
-
I have been using UTP trousers for a long time. In my opinion, the pockets are arranged very conveniently and the side cargo pockets have zips. The trousers have no unnecessary extras. In the Duck Hunter camo version, they look good. I recommend this model. An interesting camouflage pattern, referring to the one from the Vietnam War era and similar ones that were tested in the Polish People's Army and used.
-
Honestly, there’s not much to say – Helikon is a solid brand. The UTP model is probably their best product, perfectly tailored. Additionally, they are available in Rhodesian camouflage, which looks really good.
-
In my opinion, these are the best Helikon trousers. The quality is excellent, they offer a lot of adjustment options, have plenty of pockets and are breathable. At this price, you probably won't find anything better. Delivery was also very fast.
-
I am 190 cm tall and weigh 95 kg, I ordered size XL. These are my next UTP trousers, this time the Ripstop Desert Night Camo model. The trousers maintain the high quality of the rest of the series, I bought them mainly because of the original camouflage – I'm not a fan of woodland, flecktarn, pantera leśna or 'minecraft pixels'.
