These are the first pants of this style that I own. They really have loose legs, yet they are very comfortable. I also ordered the camo version and am waiting for delivery. I will mainly use them while staying at my ranch and while walking in the forest. I definitely recommend them.

I can't give a definitive opinion on these pants, as they are completely different from the previous models I've had. This is already my third pair of M65 pants and I've noticed significant differences – the newest pair is made of a different material that immediately catches your eye. They look a bit like regular, soft pants, whereas the older models were much stiffer and more durable, typical NYCO. These are lighter and more breathable, but I have doubts about how suitable they are for humid conditions, as I might get wet easily. Additionally, I noticed that the belt loops are not symmetrically positioned relative to the button. I'm keeping them mainly with summer in mind, though I'd prefer to have a choice and know exactly what I'm paying for – then I could decide if I'd prefer a lower price for this version. The size fits as it should.

A timeless model, very durable. Of course, it's a matter of taste, but for me, it's definitely a plus. It's worth noting the wide legs. The pocket is very roomy, and even when it's completely filled, the pants don't slip down or become uncomfortable, which sometimes happens with other models. In my opinion, the sizing runs large—I am 180 cm tall, have a 94 cm waist, and size L fits well both in the waist and length, although they are very roomy, but that's just the style of this model. According to the chart, I should have chosen XL, which I did, but I had to exchange it for L. Standard adjustment for the waist and legs. Perfect for everyday wear and trips to the woods, they work great in autumn and winter, and as for summer—time will tell.

I have to buy new ones because unfortunately the previous ones tore. It's a bit embarrassing because they only lasted 17 years ;) But honestly, they were used a lot – lots of walking, training, and rough use. They survived everything.

Excellent replicas. I've been wearing the originals since the 80s. It's just the stitching that's missing on the back of the olive green model. Yet it's present on the original model and on the woodland. It's a shame. An essential detail.

Over the past 6 years (2020-2026), I've already bought four pairs of these pants. They are really durable – I tried to destroy them by crawling on rocks and concrete, and they lasted a long time. They're perfect for forest outings – they can last for several seasons. They're also safe by the campfire – sparks don't melt them, which I tested myself while sitting and sleeping close to the fire (at a distance of 1-1.3 meters). Besides that, they're very comfortable and have large cargo pockets. The color is great too ;) They're best suited for spring, autumn, and mild winters. In summer, they're too warm because the material is quite thick. I can confidently give them 5 stars. Highly recommended.

The pants are really nice, but in my opinion the sizing runs large – at 175 cm tall and 72 kg, I chose size M and they're a bit too loose. Still, I am very satisfied. The only downside is that the pants pick up all kinds of lint, as others have mentioned :P. Despite everything, I definitely recommend them!

I'm 183 cm tall and size L fits me great. The pants are fine, but I have the impression that back in the 90s they were made from much thicker and stiffer fabric. I also remember that back then warmers were available for them. Maybe the manufacturer should consider this.

Solid pants, highly recommend. I've probably been using the first pair for a decade now and there are still no major signs of wear – they are extremely durable and resistant to all conditions. This is probably the best replica of contract pants available at a reasonable price. This time I bought the black version – stains will probably be more visible, but these pants are meant for heavy use anyway. It's just a pity they are no longer produced in Poland.

Great pants. This is definitely the best replica available on the market. I compared them with all the other versions and with the originals I have, and the Helikons are unmatched. The quality of workmanship, weight, material composition, and finish are on the same level as the original. I definitely recommend them.

This is one of the best replicas I have had the chance to test. The material, style, and workmanship are really of a high standard. I own several models of these pants in XL and XXL sizes and I must admit that there is hardly any difference from the originals, which I also have. They hold their size very well, and the fabric matches the originals. They don’t pill, don’t wear out, and are exceptionally durable. I definitely recommend them.

The pants are very comfortable. My teenage son is happy with the purchase. Big plus for the availability of the Long size. With a height of 190 cm and a slim build, it's hard to find pants longer than ankle length.

The pants are extremely comfortable, the size matches the description, but I noticed one flaw – my dog's fur sticks to them as if they were made specifically to collect it.

A timeless choice. This is the fifth pair I’ve bought from Militaria, different color variants – woodland, olive, and black. After switching from Medium Long to Large Long due to weight gain, I plan to buy another black pair soon. I definitely recommend them to all military enthusiasts.

The pants are very solid and durable, almost bulletproof ;) Sometimes this cut comes in handy. The black color attracts lint a bit, but most importantly, they work great outdoors.
