The pants are fine. Store rating: military, they send new, packaged items. The only downside is that you can't try them on upon receiving. In my opinion, it's better to get the pants one size larger. Ventilation is present and that's good. Basically, the pants are well thought out. Satisfied with the choice. Out of Helikon Tex pants, this model is probably the best option. Helikon Tex produces budget pants but they are pretty well designed for the price—up to $100, a good option.
Helikon Blizzard StormStretch Softshell Pants - Coyote
The Softshell Blizzard StormStretch pants are part of Helikon-Tex's Outback line. Lightweight, technical softshell pants in Coyote, designed for challenging outdoor conditions, ideal for both mountain hiking and survival expeditions. Thanks to the use of modern StormStretch material, the pants are durable, yet provide high breathability and flexibility, allowing for comfortable movement in demanding terrain.
Durable StormStretch material, Chemours Teflon coating
The pants are made from 145 g/m2 StormStretch material, a blend of nylon (98%) and elastane (2%), making them abrasion-resistant and quick-drying. With 2-way Elastic technology, they offer a wide range of motion. Additionally, the outer layer is covered with a Chemours Teflon coating, which protects against dirt and moisture, enhancing the product's durability and comfort in unfavorable weather conditions. The knees are reinforced to prevent material wear.
6 spacious pockets
The model is equipped with 6 spacious pockets:
- two traditional hip pockets with reinforced edges
- two rear pockets
- two large cargo pockets with organizers and zippers
Ventilation, adjustable leg width
Ventilation zippers on the sides allow for temperature control on warmer days, while shoelace hooks and elastic adjustable leg width help ensure a stable fit during intense movement.
Elastic gusset, detachable belt
The crotch features a special gusset made of VersaStretch material, combining nylon (93%) and elastane (7%). With four-way stretch, it enhances comfort, eliminating movement restrictions. The set also includes a detachable belt, allowing customization of the pants to the user's individual needs.

In my opinion, this is a practical solution both for everyday use and, when needed, for getting around the city or relaxing in nature. The main pocket has been well designed and is practically divided into two parts: a standard section and a side-rear, smaller one, placed in the same line. The thigh pockets are secured with zippers, and the additional pocket for the phone is roomy enough – it easily fits a Samsung S24 Ultra with a protective case. There is a zippered vent on the outside of this pocket, which is very convenient. I also like the presence of the internal strap, which can be detached if necessary. I definitely recommend these pants – we’ll see how they perform in terms of durability!

I am 180 cm tall and weigh 103 kg. I chose size L/L. The pants fit well, although they are more fitted than a typical oversized design. I noticed a few practical solutions, so I think they will be great as hiking pants.
-
Perfect for tough weather or as a second layer in demanding conditions. They have plenty of pockets and ventilation openings, and the material and seams are solid.
-
Great softshell pants in awesome camo and at a good price—at least for now. The camouflage blends perfectly into Polish forests. Highly recommend—though maybe not to everyone ;)
-
Interesting pants, but the cut and the way they fit are not quite right for me. They seem too wide. The softshell material makes them suitable rather for cooler days, but at the same time I feel the material itself is not very durable. Overall, they look solid. These are good technical pants, but they are a bit lacking in versatility.
-
The pants are very well designed and carefully made. They have spacious side cargo pockets, reinforcements in key areas, a belt, and ventilation hidden behind the cargo pockets. Wildwood camouflage is excellent!
-
Worth buying while available at this price—no hesitation. Wildwood camouflage is excellent; those who know, know. The pants are perfectly designed, with very roomy cargo pockets and reinforcements throughout. A great choice!
-
High-quality, sturdy pants, which are great for both outdoor activities and everyday use, plus they have a tactical character. I really like the thoughtful pocket layout – everything is easily accessible. The elastic material does not restrict movement. I haven’t washed them yet – I’ll add more after longer use. I recommend this product.
-
Pants in genuine Pencott Wildwood camouflage :) Excellent combination with the Blizzard model—spacious pockets, ventilation openings, and multiple reinforcements from different materials. A belt is included. I recommend them, awesome price!
-
Softshell pants with extra reinforcements on the seat and knees, as well as different material used at the bottom of the legs and pocket edges. Spacious pockets and ventilation zippers. Pleasant gray color.
-
Great softshell pants at a good price, full of reinforcements made from two types of material, spacious pockets and ventilation holes. They really look good!
-
Great pants at a good price. The softshell is reinforced at strategic points—at the back, knees, leg seams, and pocket edges. Large cargo pockets, ventilation zippers, and belt included. I definitely recommend them.
-
Nice pants, finally at a good price. Big cargo pockets, ventilation holes, reinforcements at the back, knees, and edges. Softshell is elastic and comfortable to wear. I recommend!
-
Very comfortable softshell pants with a range of practical details – large cargo pockets, extra reinforcement on the knees, seat, lower parts of the legs and pocket edges. Attractive promotional price.
