Helikon-Tex UTS PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop Shorts 8,5'' - ERDL

UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) in ERDL camouflage, made from high-quality PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% cotton, 48% polyester, 2% elastane), distinguished by its resistance to wear and tear.

The shorts are equipped with ten practical pockets:

• two traditional hip pockets with reinforced edges
• four on the thighs (two wide with zippers and two narrow with Velcro)
• four at the back (two wide and two narrow inside the wide ones)

Instead of a classic button, the pants are equipped with a wide Velcro allowing for 6 cm of adjustment. An elastic band sewn into the waistband improves the fit of the pants to the silhouette. The two front belt loops have additional loops for attaching, e.g., a carabiner.

• made from durable and tear-resistant Rip-Stop woven fabric
• 10 practical pockets
• elastic waistband
• waistband fastened and adjustable with Velcro
• wide reinforced belt loops

The ERDL (Engineer Research and Development Laboratory) camouflage was created in 1948 by an American research lab. It gained popularity during the 1960s in the Vietnam War, primarily used by special and reconnaissance units. This pattern provided the foundation for later designs like the globally recognized Woodland and M81. The green-brown color scheme is highly effective in dense vegetation, European deciduous forests, thickets, and mixed woodlands.
