Since it got warmer, I also chose shorts in addition to long pants. Just like the former, the size is perfect, they are very comfortable to wear, and the camouflage pattern is great. I also like that the material is light and breathable – perfect for hot days. Another advantage for me is the ideal length of the legs. The price might be a bit off-putting, but overall I am very satisfied with the purchase and can recommend them.

Perfect, good value for the price. Helikon Tex is a largely unknown brand, but they make quality products. Perfect fit, sturdy, durable, and of very good quality. Recommended. The store's customer service is excellent as always.

Great UTS shorts – they fit perfectly, have practical side pockets with zippers and an elastic waistband. The Camo Rhodesian pattern works perfectly. I highly recommend both the shorts and the Militaria.pl store.

Very nice shorts, extremely comfortable. For a man with a bigger belly, size 3XL fits well, although under a heavier load, they might slip down a bit—it’s worth tightening them with a belt. I plan to buy the longer version in the spring because the desert 6 camouflage looks great.

I bought it blindly, only by watching a video on YouTube. And when I received them, I immediately fell in love with them. Very high quality, lots of pockets, there are both Velcro and zipper pockets, which is very convenient. After that, I immediately ordered myself 2 more pieces in other colors. The size chart is exactly as described. Height 183, weight 82, I took size L. I recommend it!

I bought the Uts 6'', the 8.5'', and the long version in Rhodesian Bushstroke and have already worn them. Just great comfort, workmanship, and fantastic camouflage design. I would be happy if a field shirt in the original pattern could be offered as well—preferably with a very high cotton content. That would be great. I have also ordered products from Texar and am very satisfied with them. So far, I have had no complaints whatsoever about delivery, etc. The supplied sizes have matched up so far. I don't have ideal measurements, so that's a plus.
