I can't even count how many pairs of Helikon BDU shorts I've worn out. I don't care about original authenticity because they're perfect for everyday summer wear, especially thanks to the pockets.

Very good shorts. The material is sturdy and pleasant to the touch, made with great attention to detail. The size matches the chart, workmanship is flawless, price is attractive.
-
The pants are of excellent quality, they seem abrasion-resistant, very comfortable, the color is as shown in the pictures, and the size matches what is stated on the website. They have roomy pockets and a good cut. I always try on before buying – it gives me confidence. I recommend!
-
Comfortable and carefully made pants without any flaws. An additional advantage is the large side pockets. Very comfortable, easy to choose the right size, and they look abrasion-resistant.
-
Good quality workmanship, strong material, very comfortable. They work well for walking and cycling. Another Helikon product I'm very satisfied with.
-
The quality is very high, as you’d expect from Helikon. The material is solid, the colors match the picture. The pants are strong and durable. I definitely recommend them.
-
The shorts are quite long (just like in the pictures). Well made, as you’d expect from Helikon. The woodland colors are vivid, the material is strong, and all fastenings are buttons, even the fly. At first, they seem a bit stiff but become softer and nicer after washing. At this price, I think it's a good choice.
-
The material is durable, at first it may be a bit stiff, which I consider a plus because it doesn’t feel thin. The colors are intense and nice, and the workmanship is careful—no loose threads. The cut is classic, simple. The size matches the chart, but keep in mind it's a wide style, so it's better not to take a bigger size, stick to your waist measurement. For the price of 90.99 it’s a very good purchase.
-
The quality of stitching and materials is excellent – no loose threads. The Helikon woodland camouflage is the same as the M81 US Army – identical colors and pattern. The size runs a bit larger – I usually wear XL, but here I chose LR and they fit perfectly, but if I gain weight they might be too tight :-) I confirm earlier opinions, at this price it's the best choice.
-
High quality, solid material. They aren't classic BDUs, although they look very similar. Additionally, there are extra pockets under the cargo pockets, opening from the top of the cargo flaps, which you don't find in standard BDUs. Another plus is the slightly different shape of the side pockets, which have an opening at a larger angle to the vertical seam, so nothing falls out anymore, e.g., when I'm sitting in the car.
-
The shorts are really fine. I have no complaints about the quality or appearance. Already used several times. I definitely recommend them for summer or hot days.
-
The pants are of very good quality, they look abrasion-resistant, are comfortable, the color matches the pictures, and the sizing is consistent with what's on the website. The pockets are spacious, and the cut is successful. I always recommend trying on before buying, so you can be sure. I recommend them.
-
The pants are very good, they look durable and comfortable, the color is just like the pictures, and the size matches the description. They have spacious pockets and fit well. Personally, I prefer to try them on before buying. It's just a pity that the fly is buttoned, not zippered. I recommend this product.
-
Very good quality pants, they seem to be resistant to abrasion, the color is just like the photos, the size also matches the description, they have spacious pockets and a solid cut.
-
High quality craftsmanship, the drawstrings are comfortable but tend to loosen; overall, I recommend them. I ordered sizes M and L, chose M because the legs are wide (in L I looked like I was wearing a tent).
