All year round I wear models with longer legs, but for vacation I always choose Helikon shorts. It's a pity that size XL was quickly sold out during the promotion, but thanks to the excellent fit, even XXL fits me well. Very comfortable and functional.

Throughout the whole year, I prefer models with longer legs, but for vacation time I choose Helikon's shorts. It's a pity that size XL has already sold out during the sale, but thanks to the great adjustment, I can comfortably wear even size XXL. The clothes are very comfortable and practical.
-
Great product, I will definitely buy other colors. The shorts have plenty of pockets and are made from very durable material – I've tested them during several trips and haven't noticed any signs of wear. The Velcro fastening at the waist is very comfortable and definitely better than a traditional button. The zippers in the pockets are really high quality.
-
The shorts are sturdy and comfortable. After a whole season of use, they still look like new. The thoughtful pocket layout allows you to conveniently organize various items. The belt loops are durable and wide, so you can even use a very thick belt with them.
-
Very comfortable shorts. The pockets are perfectly placed, which is convenient during trips. The color looks even better in reality than in the photos. The size matches the table. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
-
They combine the classic look of jeans with the practicality of workwear. They are comfortable and do not restrict movement, making them a good choice for warmer days. Their versatility makes them suitable both for everyday wear and for more intensive use.
-
These are already another pair of UTP shorts from Helikon that I have purchased. I think they are excellent for everyday summer wear – you can assign each pocket to a different item, so keys, wallet, or phone always have their fixed place and you don’t have to search for them anymore. The material remains in great condition even with intense use. The smartphone pockets are very practical – the phone is easy to take out, but they're snug enough that it’s hard for anyone to remove it unnoticed. I definitely recommend them!
-
The shorts are solidly made and adequate for their price. I especially appreciate the flexibility and the ability to adjust the waist size thanks to the Velcro straps. The numerous pockets are also an advantage. I highly recommend this product!
-
These are the best tactical and outdoor shorts I have ever used. They're as comfortable as sweatpants, and at the same time, as durable and spacious as classic cargo shorts. For every outdoor enthusiast, prepper, or anyone who values the durability of clothing, these are an absolute must-have for summer. I recommend choosing your usual size – the waistband is elastic and fits well.
-
Solid and comfortable shorts. The pockets are well-placed, and the many wide belt loops are an added benefit. The elastic waistband works well. The fabric is strong and durable.
-
The workmanship of Helikon shorts is, as always, at a very high level. The number of pockets should satisfy anyone, even the most demanding user. The very soft material ensures great comfort.
-
These are the second shorts I’ve bought this summer, and just like the first pair, they are very comfortable. They have lots of pockets and the color hasn't faded. I recommend them with a clear conscience.
-
I am very satisfied with these shorts. After a whole summer season, I can confidently give them 5 stars. They're comfortable even on hot days, and the functional pockets allowed me to pack all my gear for forest trips.
-
Very good shorts, well made, but in my opinion there's something wrong with the sizing. I also have the stretch version and even though they're the same size, those ones seem smaller and fit better. In this case, the size appears bigger than it actually is.
