Review for model:

The pants are extremely comfortable and functional. They work well both for everyday use and in more challenging situations. Their main advantages are the large number of pockets, breathable fabric, and flexibility. I definitely recommend them!

Unfortunately, this is my first negative review of UTS shorts. The changes that were supposed to be improvements turned out to be just cost-cutting measures (with a higher price!). I always order the same size expecting more room thanks to the elastic inserts, but that didn't happen. The side pockets are too narrow – I can barely fit my hand in there with size L. The larger size, XL, is not an option because the shorts would be too big and uncomfortable. Inside the pockets, cost-saving solutions – mesh even in the cargo pockets. Really? Probably just so the phone gets sweaty against your leg. I hope this is just a problem with this model, which I won't buy again, and not a general decline in quality.

Hello. The pants are very comfortable and practical. Durable material, lots of spacious pockets. The sizing is correct and the waist adjustment with velcro works perfectly. Once again, I chose Helikon pants – really excellent quality.

I rarely give the highest ratings, but these shorts really deserve it. These were my first cargo shorts, and I chose the shorter UTS Flex 8.5'' NyCo Rip-Stop - MultiCam variant. I'm delighted. It's worth spending the money; today, I probably wouldn't choose any other style.

The pants look elegant, are comfortable, breathable, and have a clear pocket layout. The Legion Forest camouflage works best at the beginning of spring. The size chart is well described.

I have been using Helikon's long UTP pants for years and regularly buy the shorter UTS version for summer. This time, I found the rare Legion Forest camouflage at a great promotion, which convinced me even more to buy them. The shorts in size M fit perfectly for a person 176 cm tall and with a waist of 86 cm. Tried and tested product, very durable, I recommend it to those who are undecided. I’m looking forward to more camouflage versions.

Great shorts – they proved themselves during a whole day at the shooting range, I am very satisfied with their quality and functionality. I got the size right away, so I hope militaria.pl will replenish their stock soon because I’d be happy to buy other items from this series. Best regards, Dawid.

Very nice shorts. The Velcro fastening is, in my opinion, a great solution. They have a lot of airy pockets and small pockets. The material is durable, after a year of use they still look like new. I definitely recommend them.

These shorts are fantastic, the size matches the description. The material is very durable, and the color doesn’t fade after washing. I highly recommend them to active people – they are extremely comfortable and suitable for every occasion. I wear them every day and this is already my third pair in different colors. They are amazing.

These shorts are fantastic, the size is just right. The material is durable, and the color doesn’t fade even after washing. I recommend them to all active people – they are extremely comfortable and suit various occasions. I wear them daily and am very satisfied.

Very comfortable shorts with lots of pockets. I tested them in demanding, mountainous terrain during a long hike and I have no complaints. However, you need to choose the size carefully – I only managed to get it right on the second try :)

The shorts are extremely comfortable and have many practical, zippered pockets. The elastic inserts greatly improve comfort. The camouflage is interesting and original. The Velcro at the waist allows you to perfectly adjust the fit.

This is my favorite style from Helikon. The flat pockets on the thighs are great because they don't snag on various things. The other pockets are very useful for storing small tools and other items needed for work.

This is my favorite style from Helikon. The thigh pockets are flat, so they don’t catch on objects. The rest of the pockets are perfect for storing small tools while working. The material could be more elastic because it’s a bit stiff.

Great shorts, functional pockets. Only issue for people who exercise their legs – my butt is size L, but my thighs are XL, so the legs are a bit tight and hug the thighs. I got used to it because the material stretches slightly when worn, but initially I wanted to return them and order XL. Maybe I'll try XL to compare. I'm 186 cm tall, 92 cm waist, weigh 104 kg.
