The pants are made of a very stretchy material that dries quickly. If you get the right size, they work great both for everyday wear and more intense activity. In my opinion, the rubber end of the Velcro on the waistband is unnecessary – just the tab would be enough.

They are very comfortable to wear, the material is of high quality. Stitching is solid, the fabric is resistant to abrasion and easy to clean. This is another pair I'm happy with.
-
Pants almost identical to Helikon UTP Rip-Stop versa stretch, but they don't have side cargo pockets, which makes them look more stylish and elegant. The versa stretch material is thinner than the classic UTP, so they are great for hot summer days. Highly recommend.
-
I immediately liked these pants as soon as I put them on for the first time. Daily wearing and standard use hardly show any signs of wear. I highly recommend them to others and plan to buy another pair.
-
I hesitated for a long time before buying these pants, but I finally decided and do not regret my choice. They work well both for daily outings in the city and out in nature. They are very lightweight and durable. I plan to buy another pair in a different color.

These are already my fourth pair of Helikon-Tex pants. I haven't used them yet, but after trying them on, I'm happy with my choice. They are light, thin, with a classic cut. The size matches the description (L/Long (34/34) for 186 cm and 96 cm waist). The material is stretchy, and the color is actually darker than on the screen, which I like. First impression is very positive.
-
The pants serve their function perfectly. As always with Helikon, you can count on a lot of reliability and durable seams. They are discreet, yet have tactical capabilities. A big plus is the 4 inner pockets, although sometimes I miss two rear ones. The impregnated material repels water well and dries quickly. Highly recommend.

I’ve only had them for two weeks—I’ve noticed they don’t work well against the wind, as it gets cold. I still have to check their performance in the sun and rain. The size matches the description, the material is slightly elastic, and the pants themselves are very light and comfortable to wear.
-
These are excellent pants for everyday use in the low profile category. They are discreet and also very practical – especially thanks to the cleverly hidden pockets. This is already my second pair, I wear them everywhere where cargo pants would be inappropriate and a suit would be too much. I highly recommend them!
-
I am very satisfied with these pants: they don't overheat, the material is flexible and extremely comfortable, and interestingly, cat hair doesn’t stick to it – which I really appreciate as the owner of a ginger cat. The pockets are also exceptionally practical; everything fits.
-
The pants are great for both city and hiking. Their combination of elegant and casual style is a big plus. Comfortable, and at this price, it’s a real hit!
-
I already posted a review before and still feel the same way, but now that I've lost weight I bought the same model in a smaller size—that's my form of recommendation.
-
Quick Velcro fastening, very comfortable to wear. Functional pockets add practicality but are discreet and don't get in the way during everyday use.
-
The pants are very comfortable. The stretchy fabric really makes a difference. I returned them because I didn't get the size right, but otherwise, I definitely would have kept them. They are indeed a bit noisy, but it might go away after a few washes. Very practical phone pocket on the hip, on the side—it doesn't get in the way while sitting, unlike regular pockets.
-
I bought another pair to alternate because my previous ones have been great. The denim, as I mentioned earlier, still wears well and actually works even better in winter, although the black vera stretch ones are good as well :-) Right now, thermal underwear is not needed, as the temperatures aren’t very low. The inner pockets are functional, and pairing the pants with a Helikon brand belt keeps everything in place. You can also always use suspenders, which I picked for the Pilgrim pants (they have special loops, so you can also attach them to other belts). I’ll probably buy more colors because they fit well, are practical, and have a nice cut. Highly recommended!
