A timeless classic in excellent design – super comfortable! The Olive Drab color is a true classic, looks great in person, and fits perfectly with the rest of the tactical and bushcraft gear. The pockets are excellently designed – they are very spacious, and the items you carry in them do not interfere with movement at all. The material dries extremely quickly, which is a big plus.

Helikon-Tex OTS 8.5" VersaStretch Lite Shorts - Mud Brown
OTS Shorts (Outdoor Tactical Shorts) - an improved version of the well-known UTS model (Urban Tactical Shorts). In comparison to UTS shorts, the OTS model is made from VersaStretch Lite material - a fabric known for its lightness and breathability. The Teflon coating on the exterior increases resistance to stains and dirt. With numerous thoughtfully arranged pockets, these shorts are perfect for urban conditions and will be reliable during outdoor activities. They represent an excellent compromise between military and civilian apparel - offering a discreet appearance along with the practicality of cargo shorts. The innovative fit, appropriate seams, and the fabric from which the shorts are made ensure exceptional freedom of movement and durability.
elastic VersaStretch Lite material
Shorts made from modern VersaStretch Lite fabric containing 93% nylon and 7% elastane. This material stands out for its low weight and excellent breathability. Thanks to added elastic fibers, the fabric stretches in all directions, providing full freedom of movement during walking, running, climbing, and working in challenging terrain.
10 practical pockets
The shorts have ten pockets:
- two classic mesh pockets at hip level with reinforced edges
- four on the thighs (two wide mesh pockets with zippers and two narrow ones with Velcro)
- four at the back (two wide mesh pockets and two narrow ones inside the wide pockets)
waist adjustment, ykk zipper
Instead of a button, the shorts are equipped with a wide Velcro allowing for adjustment of about 6 cm. An elastic band is sewn into the waistband, improving fit to individual body features. The opening is closed with a zipper made by the renowned Japanese company YKK. Two front belt loops at the bottom are equipped with additional loops, allowing for attachment of items like a carabiner.

Very good, lightweight, and breathable hiking shorts. At 176 cm tall and 95 kg, size XL fits perfectly. They have divided side pockets, so you can comfortably carry your phone on the left or right side, or even two at the same time.

They are very lightweight and have plenty of roomy, deep pockets — a 12-inch telescopic baton fits in them with ease. They work great for the gym, for weighted squats, and for running. I am 176 cm tall, weigh 88 kg, and have a 95 cm waist. Size L fits perfectly.

The size matches the description. This is a lightweight model for summer, definitely better for warm days than the standard versions made from thicker material. It has plenty of functional pockets in well-chosen sizes. The pocket intended for a phone fits it without any problem. The color is practically the same as in the photos. I recommend it — the workmanship and the quality of the material are very good.

Size: M
Great shorts — lightweight and breathable, and in the current heat you can hardly feel them while wearing them. They have plenty of pockets, and a smartphone in a case fits easily into the front one. I recommend them.

Verified and tested, I highly recommend it. Excellent quality-price ratio. Comfortable, can be used easily even without a belt. Reliable seller and prompt delivery.

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.

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 Military 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 military! The pants are great, lightweight, and breathable, perfect for hot days. The huge number of pockets is impressive. Highly recommended!
