The Helikon CTP VersaStretch Lite pants in Khaki look very good. I like the color, but unfortunately, the cut and sizing of these pants won’t suit everyone—other pants from this brand fit me perfectly, but this particular model does not.

The pants are really alright. They have a practical pocket layout, maintaining the functionality of cargo pants without a military appearance, so you can even wear them when meeting friends. A downside might be that the fabric creases a lot. I’m lowering the rating by one star because at least one zippered pocket would be useful.

The pants are very light and almost unnoticeable on the body, yet they don't restrict freedom of movement. However, they do have some drawbacks. Size M fits me well in terms of waist width and length, but due to the thin, delicate material, I feel that they cling closely to the body. I'm also afraid that a larger size would already be too loose :(

These pants are perfect for summer and dry quickly, but I don't recommend them for rain – in such conditions, the material sticks to the legs like leggings. They're a bit noisy, especially when walking up the stairs. They could be less fitted, but thanks to the stretchy fabric, you can fit quite a lot in the pockets. Overall, these are really nice pants.

Very interesting pants – I chose the gray ones. They are elegant and can easily replace dress pants for less formal occasions. The outer pockets are very deep, and the inner ones can even fit a large phone. The front of the pocket is partially reinforced, so it's easy to clip a folder or a flash drive there. The internal pockets are also an interesting solution – they can hold other small items, not just a weapon, for example, a slim folder. The material handles various stains well, especially food, while also being breathable and working great in summer by protecting from the sun. I immediately decided to buy another pair.

Great pants, the impregnation works perfectly, we'll see how it holds up after a few washes. Unfortunately, greasy stains are hard to clean, so one star less, but water and drinks don't soak in and slide off easily. This doesn't mean the pants are completely waterproof—you can soak them through with more pressure, but they dry very quickly. The downside is also their tendency to wrinkle, but the comfort of wearing them makes up for it.

Great pants—they don’t have an overly military look, but are extremely comfortable to wear. Made from synthetic material, they fit well and provide breathability, which prevents excessive sweating. They are stretchy, do not require ironing, and dry quickly after washing. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Surprisingly good pants! They combine the lightness of sportswear with the utility of cargo pants. They are discreet, and the material performs well even in high temperatures, which I rarely encounter with similar synthetics. Sometimes the pockets may reveal their contents, though thanks to their number you can arrange everything to minimize this effect. I truly recommend them!
