    Very good and comfortable shorts, they stretch well and have many different pockets. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong size and should have picked a larger one, but overall it's a very high-quality and good product. I recommend it for purchase.

    These Helikons are some of the most comfortable shorts I own. They're extremely lightweight, breathable, and dry easily. Nothing pinches or rubs the skin, and they're also stretchy.

    Very comfortable and well-made shorts with many pockets. The material is a bit slick, but at the same time elastic and breathable. The shorts have a fitted design, typical Helikon quality – I definitely recommend them.

    The pants are very short, very light, and very stretchy. They feel like boxer shorts. All in all, a very good choice for a hot summer. If you like the short style, this is a good choice.

    The shorts are very comfortable and lightweight. The number and arrangement of the pockets, as always with Helikon, have been excellently designed. The pockets are spacious, so I always have everything I need at hand. They work great for recreational cycling.

    Great pants for summer days. They are stretchy, have plenty of pockets, and are durable enough. I usually have trouble squatting when I have something in my pockets because of stronger thighs, but with these pants, that problem doesn't occur.

    The shorts are very comfortable, just like the entire Helikon series. At this price I wouldn't hesitate long to buy, it's really worth it because they can sell out quickly. I recommend them.

    Sensational. These are the best shorts I've had so far. They are perfect for hot days and for trekking or mountain hikes. They're durable, lightweight, breathable, and have perfectly designed pockets. I own two pairs and am very satisfied.

    Fantastic short shorts from Helikon. Very lightweight, they dry extremely quickly and are very breathable. The thoughtful arrangement of many pockets increases their functionality. I am very happy with my purchase and can honestly recommend them to anyone looking for quick-drying shorts.

    I came back for a second pair for work because they're excellent in terms of size and function. The color stays vibrant even after many washes. They're very light and I'm already used to the pocket layout, similar to the longer version.
