Review for model:

The product was delivered extremely quickly. The pants are very comfortable, do not restrict movement, and their pockets—including the back ones—are spacious. The color is well saturated. However, the downside is the waistband drawstrings, which do not hold the tightened strap well and easily loosen. If you don't use a proper belt, with heavily filled cargo pockets, the pants may slide down.

The pants are fine, but Helikon's new sizing is a total failure. A year ago, size M in the CPU model was perfect, now it fits the waist but the crotch is much lower and the back sags like a bag. I had a similar problem with the SFU model – the old size S pants were okay, but the new S is too tight, and M is too big. Helikon has really messed up the sizes.

The pants look great – the material is solid, even though it's not too thick, the calf pockets are cool, and the camouflage is one of a kind. Unfortunately, the sizing chart is disappointing – S is too tight, M too loose and long. With my standard build, I had to return the pants.

Great pants, very practical, a big advantage is the number of pockets and the drawstrings on them which keep things secure. Personally, I would swap the strings on the cuffs for Velcro. The two small open pockets are very handy for a multitool and a pocket knife.

A good alternative to the MON pattern. Very comfortable, well-placed pockets, dry quickly. The cargo pockets with drawstrings are also functional. Overall a nice product.

Durable, lightweight, and quick-drying, all advantages. The only downside is the sizing. I ordered M long based on my old pants, which turned out to really be an L. Fortunately, the exchange went very smoothly, so the store deserves praise.

The pants confirm the high quality of Helikon. Also good for sunny days. Worth buying and wearing. Classic cut, very solid stitching, excellent material. They are really comfortable. They dry quickly while wearing. They work very well.

The pants are of very good quality. Made from solid and durable material, available in attractive colors. However, I would recommend this model more for sandy and beach terrain because the color is too light for the forest. In my opinion, the sizes run large, so I suggest choosing a smaller size.

These are great, functional pants, well-stitched with practical pocket placement that fully serves their purpose. Suitable both for warm days as well as spring or fall, because the cotton does not let the wind through. I highly recommend this model.

I've wanted desert-pattern pants for a long time and finally got them. The material is not too thick, looks durable, has many practical pockets, and the cut is more comfortable than the SFU, adding to the comfort. Highly recommended!

Great pants with a looser fit, but very comfortable. I ordered a size smaller than usual and they fit perfectly. They have many pockets, so it's easy to take a lot of things with you. Reinforcements in important places should affect their durability. I recommend wearing them with Helikon Low Profile Protective Pad Inserts. The pants are perfect for summer trips.

Phenomenal pants. The number of pockets will satisfy anyone. The fit is more tailored than in the first SFU Next model. For me, the front pockets were a bit too narrow, but a tailor fixed them, and now even the biggest smartphone fits.

The pants fit well and are solidly made. The camouflage looks excellent. My previous pair faded after 10 years of intense use, so it was time for new ones. The price is very competitive. I recommend this purchase.

Well-sewn pants, clear pattern – I'm curious how they'll look after a few washes and if the color will hold.

Very decent pants, definitely recommend.
