Review for model:

The pants are extremely light and breathable. Very comfortable, the stretchy material allows for free movement, doesn’t restrict strides or jumps. The pockets are spacious and practical. Finally, the narrow pocket easily fits a large phone, which was missing before.

Review for model:

The material is very pleasant, and both the cut and the length are definite advantages. As for the drawbacks, a typical Helikon pants problem appears – after fastening the belt around the tailbone area, the fabric bulges out in a strange way. In all models of pants from this brand, there is simply too much fabric in this spot.

Nice cut, more modern than previous UTPs, most of which were already very picked over. The material is light – perfect for summer :) Dad is satisfied. The colors are, as always, great.

The shorts are extremely lightweight and breathable, and they dry very quickly after washing. They have many pockets, and the elastic material ensures high wearing comfort. They are very functional pants. Even after several washes, the color does not change. I highly recommend them.

Lightweight, breathable shorts, perfect for everyday wear on hot days. They're a bit too stretchy for me, which makes them fit tighter at the back, but maybe that will change after washing. Overall, I'm satisfied.

The color is great – it stands out among standard grays (although I really like gray as well). Very comfortable and practical. Perfect for hiking, everyday use, workouts, cycling, or the shooting range. The pocket layout is the same as the long pants (I already have a set), so using them at the range is intuitive (during both competitions and training). The price is attractive. Shipping was very fast (even faster than promised). I wholeheartedly recommend the Militaria.pl store!

They're great. I also have the black and red versions, but these are my favorite. Worth the investment; besides, the gray color hides dirt better than black. They're lightweight, breathable, and dry very quickly. I honestly recommend both the shorts and the store.

The shorts work great, the material is soft and pleasant to the touch. They are breathable and very comfortable during hikes and long periods of sitting. Size M fits perfectly for a height of 176 cm and weight of 78 kg.

Ordered yesterday, picked up today, and tomorrow I'm already heading to the mountains! Thank you militaria.pl! The pants are great, lightweight, and breathable, perfect for hot days. The huge number of pockets is impressive. Highly recommended!

Excellent shorts; they are easy to adjust thanks to the Velcro fastening, which holds very well. The material is great, light and airy—perfect for hot days. They dry fast and after washing, they haven't changed at all.

The shorts are fantastic! They are somewhat reminiscent of UTS, but made from even better material. The fabric is flexible, not too stretchy, and allows complete freedom of movement. They're great for cycling or hiking in the mountains. Perfect for summer, because they dry quickly and are very breathable. The cut and pockets are super, just like in the UTS. I liked them so much that I bought another pair.

I can honestly recommend these shorts. They are very comfortable and breathable, and thanks to the large number of pockets I can easily carry all my necessary EDC items. This is already another pair I own.

I wholeheartedly recommend them. The shorts are very comfortable, breathable, and thanks to numerous pockets, you can easily fit your EDC items. I already have several pairs like this.

These shorts are amazing! They're an improved version of the UTS, made from better material—stretchy, but not overly so, which allows freedom of movement. They're perfect for mountain trips or cycling. They're also great for hot weather because they dry quickly and provide ventilation. Tested on a bike at 35°C—they passed the test. Nice cut, functional pocket layout just like classic UTS shorts.

This is truly a good product. The shorts are comfortable to wear and have many practically placed pockets. The Velcro at the belt works well, and I hope it remains durable. The material dries quickly and stretches very well where needed.
