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.

Size: XL
At the regular price, they are quite expensive, although I already own quite a few Helikon garments and their quality is consistently very high. There are sometimes comments on foreign websites, but it seems that this rather concerns exports. If there were a sale, I would buy them without hesitation. They are very comfortable, have many pockets, and the zippers work smoothly without snagging. This cut is exceptionally short, so it works great in the current heat. I recommend them.

Size: M
Wonderful shorts for hot days. The leg length is unusually short, which I find very comfortable on hot days. Despite the compact dimensions, the practical pockets offer enough storage space. Clear buying recommendation!
-
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.
-
The shorts are made from solid material, and after an entire season of wearing them, no signs of wear are visible. They are comfortable and have a military style. I definitely recommend this model.
-
Durable material, performs well even in difficult conditions and you don’t have to worry about damage. The camouflage looks attractive in person. The clothing is comfortable and has a lot of pockets, which is definitely an advantage.
-
I already had long pants in this camouflage, so I decided to buy the shorts. The camouflage is unusual and rather rare. As usual, Helikon provides high quality workmanship. The shorts are lightweight, very comfortable, and functional. I am satisfied with the purchase.
-
These are another pair of pants from this brand that I've bought, this time in a short version. It's a proven product—very comfortable to wear. The fit is well-tailored to the silhouette, there are lots of practical pockets, and the workmanship is solid and flawless. According to the size chart, they're a little too big, but only slightly, which actually turns out to be useful, for example when cycling. I recommend this product.
-
Comfortable summer shorts. An interesting type of camouflage, not very common, but looks great in person. The material is solid and resistant to damage. I definitely recommend them.
-
To be honest, the back cut could be better because the material sticks out a bit strangely under the middle belt loop. Other than that, these are very solid shorts.
-
Very good shorts. Impeccable workmanship, practical cut, and excellent arrangement and number of pockets. They performed perfectly during the heat in Cyprus exceeding 40°C. I especially like the brush stroke camouflage. I sincerely recommend them!
