The shorts are well made and appropriate for their price. I especially appreciate the flexibility and the ability to adjust the waist size thanks to the Velcro straps. The numerous pockets are also an advantage. I highly recommend this product!

Helikon UTS 8,5" PolyCotton Rip-Stop Shorts - Shadow Grey
Modern UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) tactical shorts, made of high-quality PolyCotton RipStop fabric (60% cotton, 37% polyester, 3% elastane), are exceptionally resistant to abrasion and tearing. Lighter than 100% cotton fabrics, they also dry much faster. The thoughtful layout of numerous pockets makes the shorts perfect for urban environments and outdoor activities.
Above-average freedom of movement and durability
A perfect combination of military and civilian clothing features — a subdued fit and the functionality of cargo trousers. The innovative design, carefully placed seams, and the material used guarantee above-average freedom of movement and high durability.
10 spacious pockets
The shorts are equipped with ten functional pockets:
- two traditional pockets at hip height, with additional reinforcements at the edges
- four on the thighs (two wide zipped pockets and two narrow pockets secured with Velcro)
- four at the back (two wide and two narrow located inside the wide pockets)
Easy fit of the trousers to the figure
Instead of a traditional button, the shorts feature a wide Velcro fastener with 6 cm of adjustment. The waistband is equipped with an elastic band for a better fit. Additional loops are placed at the bottom of the front belt loops, allowing you to attach a carabiner, for example.

These are the best tactical and outdoor shorts I have ever come across. They are as comfortable as tracksuit bottoms, yet as durable and spacious as classic cargo trousers. For any outdoor enthusiast, prepper or anyone who values durable clothing, they are an absolute must-have for the summer. I recommend choosing your usual size – the waistband is elastic and fits well.
-
Solid and comfortable shorts. The pockets are well laid out, and an additional advantage is the many wide loops. The elastic waistband works well. The material is strong and durable.
-
The workmanship of the shorts by Helikon is, as always, at a very high level. The number of pockets should satisfy anyone, even the most demanding user. Very soft material provides great comfort.
-
These are the second shorts I have bought this summer, and just like the previous ones they are very comfortable. They have a lot of pockets, and the colour hasn’t faded. I recommend them with a clear conscience.
-
I am very satisfied with these shorts. After a full summer season, I can confidently give 5 stars. They’re comfortable even on hot days, and the functional pockets let me pack all my gear for trips to the forest.
-
Very good trousers, well made, but in my opinion something is wrong with the sizing. I also have the stretch version and although they are the same size, those seem smaller and better fitted. Here, the size comes up bigger than it actually is.
-
Helikon UTS shorts are comfortable and durable thanks to their tough fabric. They are excellent for everyday use as well as outdoor activities. Well-fitted and equipped with practical pockets, they offer great functionality.
-
Great shorts, very comfortable. I like the pockets just as much as those on the UTP cargo trousers, which I also own. The ripstop material is resistant to abrasion or tearing when exploring thickets. I recommend them!
-
Very comfortable and practical trousers, ideal for outdoor activities. Definitely worth buying – this is another pair I have from this series.
-
The shorts are comfortable, airy, have an 8.5-inch length and well-planned pockets, which are great for everyday use. They also worked well during a three-day kayaking trip. Highly recommended.
-
These are already my fourth pair of UTS shorts, as always a plus for the durability of the material, practical pockets, the right length, etc. On the downside, I notice that they are being made narrower and narrower. I've had all of them for over two years in the same size and these latest ones clearly have tighter legs, which is why only 4 stars.
-
I already have several pairs and didn't hesitate to buy more. This model is spot on, I can recommend it to everyone. I think I'll order other versions for my wardrobe as well.
-
Very comfortable shorts. When they are on promotion – there's no need to hesitate. I highly recommend them and I hope they will be long-lasting. +++++++++++++
-
These shorts, regardless of length, are very practical and comfortable. I first bought the long version, then the short one. The 8.5" version is shorter than typical short shorts, which may not suit everyone.
