The pants are quite all right, but they make a noticeable rustling sound when walking. I know it's a matter of the material used, but personally, it bothered me. After all, when walking alone in nature, you want to avoid clothing noises. Another downside is the size, which deviated from what was declared—this happened to me for the first time with Helikon, even though I already have several of their clothes. The total length of the pants was 2 cm less than stated.
Helikon Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas Pants - Coyote/Taiga Green
Comfortable Outdoor Pants merge a civilian appearance with cargo pants' functionality. Crafted from two fabric types—flexible VersaStretch and the abrasion- and tear-resistant DuraCanvas. Ideal for mountain and hiking excursions, these pants offer excellent freedom of movement.
Flexible and waterproof material
The pants boast a hybrid design that offers excellent flexibility, perfectly conforming to your shape. The fabric is treated with a Teflon-based impregnation, providing protection against adverse weather and dirt. Sections made of DuraCanvas can be further waterproofed with wax for enhanced water resistance.
Functional pockets
The pants feature a total of six pockets:
- a pair at the hip with reinforced edges
- two spacious cargo pockets secured by zippers
- two slim ones with Velcro closures
Waist fastened with Velcro, adjustable legs
The waist utilizes a Velcro panel instead of traditional buttons, offering an adjustable fit. Velcro adjustments are also found at the bottom of the legs. Knee reinforcements are specially designed to accommodate internal protectors.

Great pants for mountain hikes – sturdy and flexible where needed. The pockets are positioned so they don't get in the way. They provide good protection in light drizzle, wind, and muddy conditions. At -3°C with thermal underwear, they were comfortable. Instead of relying on the size chart, it's better to measure yourself – I’m 196 cm tall with a 95 cm waist and chose L XLong, and they fit perfectly.
-
Great pants. I am 184 cm tall, weigh 88 kg, and size L fits perfectly. There are interesting cuffs at the bottom, which I haven't had on my pants before. Now I see that next time I will also look for this solution. I recommend them.
-
The pants are extremely comfortable and do not restrict movement during various outdoor activities. The elastic elements are very well designed. Unfortunately, larger smartphones will not fit into the narrow pockets – that's the only downside I've noticed after a month of use.
-
These pants stand out for exceptional functionality, working well both for everyday use and for outdoor trips, especially in the mountains. They don't have back pockets, which is often a drawback in other models, but here it's actually an advantage.
-
The pants are incredibly comfortable and very lightweight. There's no restriction of movement during trekking, hiking, or light workouts at an outdoor gym. The only downside is the fairly small pockets; a larger smartphone won't fit in the long pocket, and while a 0.5L bottle can fit in the zippered pocket, you can't close it. Comfort 10/10, pockets 8/10.

These are my favorite Helikon pants model. The material is comfortable, nothing pinches, with elastic inserts and great wearing comfort. This model stands out for its very ergonomic pocket arrangement—the side zippered ones and additional flapped ones with Velcro are a real hit. Everything is in its place: phone, wallet, house keys, and car keys. I don't need any other bags or fanny packs, I won't lose anything, and it's hard to steal from me. Great purchase! The only downside is the rustling—the forest won’t let you go unnoticed. It's also a pity there's not a wider choice of camouflage. Other than that—fantastic. Worth buying!

The Helikon Hybrid Outback DuraCanvas pants in Ash Grey are made from durable material and feature six practically placed pockets.
-
Very good stretch fabric pants – they work well both for mountain hikes and trips through thickets. Water runs off the material well, and there are enough pockets.
-
I searched for a long time for pants that wouldn't look like cargo pants but would have their functionality for everyday use. They are discreet, extremely comfortable, have practical pockets, are well sewn and flawless – perfect for everyday wear, cycling or in the mountains; super versatile.
-
This is already my third pair of these pants; they've become my favorite – not only are they practical, but they also look elegant. Even after intensive use, the material shows no signs of wear, and thanks to the lightweight fabric, they are comfortable in summer. The cut and pocket placement are great. For everyday wear, they could be a bit shorter – the legs are longer than standard, but because of that, they fit well over shoes.
-
It's hard to find comfortable pants for someone slightly overweight, but these are perfect for me. The waist adjustment with Velcro means they don't pinch at the hips. They're airy and elastic, a bit rustly, but size XXL fit right away (182 cm, 108 kg). I'm very happy with my purchase.
-
These are another interesting pair of pants from Helikon, although I don't fully understand their use compared to the company's other models. I didn't notice any feature that really distinguishes them among other Helikon pants. They look good and have a nice cut. On the downside, there's no back pocket.
-
Very nice pants, legs fastened with Velcro, lots of practical pockets, and the elastic panels make movement easier. I recommend them for the shooting range and hiking.
-
Great pants! The color is darker than in the photo, but the quality is excellent. I am very happy with the purchase. The cut is the same as in other models of this brand. I'd probably buy them again, but I'm sure these will last me a long time.
