The shorts themselves are fine, but the manufacturer changed the sizing. I wear Helikon UTP pants in size L and they fit perfectly, but here size L turned out to be too small. I had to return them.

UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) in Taiga Green, made of high-quality PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric with a grammage of 220 g/m2. Innovative design, reinforced seams, and high-quality materials guarantee significant freedom of movement. The placement and number of pockets make this model suitable for both urban use and outdoor activities.
PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop material, 2-Way Elastic technology

It ensures the shorts fit the body and offer complete freedom of movement. The use of Rip-Stop weave effectively minimizes the risk of damage spreading to larger areas.

Instead of a button, a wide Velcro allowing 6 cm of adjustment is used. An elastic tape sewn into the waist improves the fit of the shorts to individual body features.

Size: L

The shorts are light and comfortable. Size M fits 181/80 with a bit of room to spare. Very well made. There are plenty of pockets, although I'm not sure the back ones will come in handy, but the phone fits in the front without any problems. An interesting model, I definitely recommend it.

I bought the shorts for everyday wear and for trips out of town. They fit great, the fabric is comfortable and offers a lot of freedom of movement. The advantage is also a large number of pockets, and the quality standard from Helikon-Tex, as always, does not disappoint. After longer use, they still look very good and now belong to my favorite pairs of shorts.

Great quality as always! I have a few pair of Helikon shorts now, it's all that I wear on summer! My waist are 98cm, and I have size XL, sits just a bit loose in the waist, but I want the rest of the shorts to be more roomy than the L are. I like shorts to be a bit baggy. Just the right amount of pockets, I use them all! :D

The shorts are great, and the elastic material all over makes them comfortable to wear. The cut has remained the same as before. The pockets are quite spacious, although they could be a bit larger with Velcro—so that current large phones would fit easily, not just tightly. Rifle magazines, however, fit without any problem. I recommend this product, just like most things offered by this brand.

Great product, I am very satisfied both with the purchase and with its use. Both the quality of the material and the workmanship are really high. An additional advantage is the attractive price. I definitely recommend it.
