Due to their more elegant appearance resulting from the lack of side pockets, I often wear them during more formal occasions 😃. The downside, which you have to get used to, is of course the absence of those pockets. The material is resistant to both sunlight and washing.
Helikon-Tex Hybrid Tactical PolyCotton Rip-Stop Pants - Black
Practical tactical pants with a hybrid construction. Made from lightweight, breathable VersaStretch material and durable RipStop fabric. The VersaStretch material stands out with its high elasticity, four-way stretch, and quick-drying properties.
Durability and functionality
The surface of the pants is coated with a Teflon-based impregnation, increasing their resistance to dirt and adverse weather conditions. They are well-suited for both urban environments and outdoor activities. The subdued appearance combined with the practicality of cargo pants makes them a fusion of military and civilian clothing.
Eight spacious pockets
The model features eight pockets:
- a pair of classic hip pockets with reinforced edges
- a duo of cargo pockets with zipper closures
- a set of wide back pockets
- a pair of smaller side pockets
Fit to the silhouette
The Hybrid Tactical pants feature a wide hook-and-loop fastener instead of a button, allowing waist adjustment for a better fit. The cut of the pants ensures full freedom of movement. Additionally, two front belt loops at the bottom are equipped with loops for attaching items such as a carabiner.

I haven't had any previous experience with Hybrid Tactical, but I've been using Helikon pants in various versions for a long time. I really like the VersaStretch material, both the standard and lite versions. When a promotion appeared for under 110 PLN, I didn't hesitate for a moment. The pants are solid, and the combination of materials is well thought out (at least for now – this opinion is given shortly after the purchase). I am satisfied with the color, fabric quality, the number of pockets, and the Velcro closure at the waist. A big plus is the rear pockets, because in hybrid pants that's rare – my RVRC nordwands don't have them, and for this reason I didn't choose the Hybrid Outback model by Helikon either. Here there are two at the back, which I really appreciate. The elastic panels are arranged so they don't restrict movement, even though the pants fit quite snugly around the hips and waist. I'm really satisfied. A few downsides: First, the thigh pockets are a bit too high, so when you bend your leg a lot or squat, the cargo pocket zippers can press and affect comfort. Second, typical for Helikon: at my average height, size S is always too long and I have to have the pants shortened. The S short option is almost unavailable. The company apparently thinks that slim people must have very long legs. Third – there’s no way to tighten the bottom of the legs, there are no stoppers, drawstrings, or holes to thread one through. That's a significant minus for this type of pants. My rating is 4/5 – overall the pants are great, but a few flaws unfortunately lower the score.

The pants are extremely comfortable. The material is flexible and pleasant to the touch. For me, the leg openings are really wide, but that's up to personal preference. I definitely recommend the pants, especially now when they're on sale.

Helikon Hybrid Tactical PolyCotton Rip-Stop - Khaki are great pants, made from various materials, flexible in the right places, and have lots of pockets. I definitely recommend them and plan to buy another color. The promotional price is very attractive.
-
These are the best pants I own. Even the short version is a bit too long for me, but at my height of 164 cm, I've already gotten used to it. I also have a bit more around the waist, so I had to shorten the XXL Short size. The Velcro waistband and elastic inserts at the waist are a great solution – if you don't have a belly, you won't understand ;) Plenty of pockets, extra belt loops, and wide belt loops. I definitely recommend them!

The pants are very comfortable; these are yet another pair I bought from Helikon. They have never let me down. The pockets are arranged practically, and the extra small pocket for a folder is very useful. I often use them when traveling, because the passport fits perfectly in the inner pocket, making it easy to find without searching through the bag. I definitely recommend both the pants and the Militaria.pl store. And of course, the Helikon brand.

I bought it for 155 PLN. I am very satisfied with both the quality and the size – I chose 2XL Long for my height of 194 cm and weight of 120 kg. I use it both in the city and in the forest, and I am pleased with its durability and maneuverability.

The Helikon Hybrid tactical pants pleasantly surprised me with their quality. They are comfortable, fit great, and work well both outdoors and for everyday use. The fabric feels solid, there are no abrasions, and it looks durable. It's clear that this is a high-quality product — definitely worth its price.
-
XXL Short corresponds to XL Short UTP. The pants are great. They're probably not suitable for winter unless you wear additional long underwear. I need to get used to the layout and closure of the cargo pockets. I usually wear UTP pants, I bought these for a funeral, but I plan to buy another pair, probably in the spring.
-
This is yet another model of Helikon pants I've purchased. They're solid, comfortable, and have a practical cut. The light color makes it easy to spot ticks on the pants.
-
I bought the pants with summer in mind and it was a good choice. The color is aesthetic and doesn't fade after washing. Stylish and well-placed inserts improve breathability where necessary. They were treated with a hydrophobic agent, which increases user comfort. The pockets are functionally arranged, and the quality of materials and hardware is at a high level. The price is also attractive. After three months, I definitely recommend them.

Helikon pants – every model from this brand is a good choice. I've been wearing them for a long time and I'm very satisfied. There are no signs of wear, the color remains vibrant even after many washes. I highly recommend them!

The Helikon Hybrid Tactical PolyCotton Rip-Stop - Khaki pants are comfortable, well-made, and exceptionally durable, and very practical thanks to the many pockets. The only advice – it's worth choosing a bigger size. I recommend them.

The pants are extremely comfortable. For me, tactical use means everyday challenges in the city: driving a car, crowded tram rides, or shopping in supermarkets, which is why I use them often. There are really a lot of pockets, which may make it harder to quickly find your keys. The elastic elements make you feel like you can still look good even after years go by.

Good pants from Helikon. They're very comfortable, practical, and have nice, functional pockets. The color is great. I definitely recommend them 100%.
