Traditional BDU cut, good material quality. I ordered size M; it fitted well at the waist, but it is quite loose around the hips and legs, so you definitely need to pay attention to that. I had to send it back.
Shorts made in a cut inspired by the classic BDU model used by the US Army. They are sewn from a material that is a combination of durable cotton and stretch polyester with high tear and abrasion resistance. The material is also lighter and dries faster compared to 100% cotton.
The drawstrings at the waist give you the ability to adjust the circumference without having to wear a belt to the trousers. The maximum belt width is 52 mm.
The shorts are equipped with six pockets:
- two open side pockets,
- two back pockets with buttoned patches,
- two cargo pockets with buttoned patches.

MIL-Tec quality. Good value for money. Made from durable, thick material. I recommend it for everyday wear. The colour is a distinctive green. The waist can be easily adjusted at the waistband. Recommended.

Size: XL
It fits rather wide in the legs and was very stiff on first wear; perhaps it will improve after several washes. The pockets are very good and large.

Three years ago, I bought one pair in khaki, size M, but it turned out to be a bit too tight. The shorts themselves are nice and stylish, though. Years later, I decided to order size L in all colours and, overall, they are fine, although I noticed that the older pair had much deeper pockets and a fabric that felt nicer to the touch, even though it is the same model and range. Perhaps something will still improve after washing. What puzzles me most is the pocket design, because they are really quite impractical — as if they were designed for children's hands. And I am not a large-built person, so it is hard for me to imagine how bigger men manage with them, unless they buy them several sizes larger. To sum up, the shorts are very nice, but they could be much more comfortable, especially for a well-known German brand with a long tradition. They restrict movement a bit, and that is quite a significant drawback for me. On the other hand, the price is good, so some flaws can be accepted.

Great shorts, thick and robust, perfect for all seasons, with multiple and very durable pockets. The product matches the description. It stretches after the first wash and does not lose its effectiveness.
-
Great shorts for various types of outdoor trips. As many people have noticed, they offer very high quality for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
-
I used them for about two years at work. The material is solid, but the stitching in the crotch is weak. The cargo pockets are large and spacious, but they stick out and look a little odd. I wouldn’t buy again. The biggest advantage is the price.
-
Very sturdy trousers with plenty of pockets. The material and stitching are of high quality. They work well for everyday use and are worth their price. Perfect for hot, summer days. I definitely recommend them – they're great for anyone.
-
The quality of the products is low. In one pair, the trousers split at the crotch, in another, the buttons fell off. The threads used for sewing are very weak. The material seems okay, but the workmanship leaves much to be desired.
-
A classic cut inspired by BDU, made from a durable blend of cotton and elastic polyester resistant to tearing and abrasion. This material is lighter and dries faster than pure cotton. I definitely recommend them, great trousers.
-
I have been using these trousers for several years now, I bought them from the Militaria shop. The colour faded a long time ago, but the material is still durable, there are no worn spots, and the seams haven't come apart. I am 190 cm tall and weigh 100 kg – size XXL fits perfectly. For XXXL I would have to be much bigger (I checked). The product is lightweight and durable. I recommend them!
-
These are comfortable shorts that I often wore both at the shooting range and when going out to the forest. Adjustment is easy and allows you to fit them to the user, so I can recommend them.
-
Durable and solid trousers at an affordable price, additionally they have an adjustable waistband. My previous pair lasted me 10 years before the material wore out. The sizes are rather on the larger side. I recommend them.
-
The shorts are very solid. The material is thick and durable. However, I have a reservation about the cut – the legs could be a bit narrower because they look more like a skirt than shorts. Other than that, they’re fine. However, after getting to know Helikon shorts, I probably won’t buy this model again.
-
Average quality. The buttons fell off already after the first wearing and I had to sew them on. I also had to enlarge the buttonholes with a knife because they were too tight. The sizes do not match the description – the trousers are bigger than indicated by the chart.
