This is one of the best replicas I have had the chance to test. The material, style, and workmanship are really of a high standard. I own several models of these pants in XL and XXL sizes and I must admit that there is hardly any difference from the originals, which I also have. They hold their size very well, and the fabric matches the originals. They don’t pill, don’t wear out, and are exceptionally durable. I definitely recommend them.
Helikon M65 Nyco Military Pants - Black
The M65 model is a classic "cargo" pants design, enjoying great popularity. Made of durable NYCO fabric (50% cotton, 50% nylon) with a weight of 330 g/m², identical to the original M65 pants. Thanks to this fabric blend, they stand out for their durability, lightness, and resistance to damage. An additional advantage is their quick drying after getting wet.
Functional pockets
The thoughtfully designed cut features six pockets with snap fasteners: two side-entry pockets, two rear pockets, and two roomy cargo pockets on the sides of the legs. There is also a concealed pocket on the inside.
Practical design
The bottom of the legs has tapes sewn in, allowing the pants to be tied around boots or legs, and the cargo pockets feature drawstrings. The adjustable waistband ensures an optimal fit. Wide legs guarantee freedom of movement and comfort.

The pants are very comfortable. My teenage son is happy with the purchase. Big plus for the availability of the Long size. With a height of 190 cm and a slim build, it's hard to find pants longer than ankle length.
-
The pants are extremely comfortable, the size matches the description, but I noticed one flaw – my dog's fur sticks to them as if they were made specifically to collect it.
-
A timeless choice. This is the fifth pair I’ve bought from Militaria, different color variants – woodland, olive, and black. After switching from Medium Long to Large Long due to weight gain, I plan to buy another black pair soon. I definitely recommend them to all military enthusiasts.
-
The pants are very solid and durable, almost bulletproof ;) Sometimes this cut comes in handy. The black color attracts lint a bit, but most importantly, they work great outdoors.
-
I already have three of this product – two in green and one in black. They are excellent: great cut, perfect material. They look thick, but even in summer during heatwaves they're comfortable. The only minus is that they're made in China. I’d be willing to pay more for Polish production.
-
These are good pants, minus the fact they’re made in China. Otherwise, very sturdy cut and quality, they met my requirements for durability and comfort. There is enough material to crouch or climb freely. The zipper is more practical than buttons. A big advantage is also the hidden inner pocket.
-
Great pants – I have two pairs, the green ones show wear more clearly (they fade over time), although they've already lasted 10 years and were worn heavily in the forest.
-
As described, high-quality pants with a comfortable cut, strong and solid, thick material. Typical of Helikon – great, exceptionally durable, and practically indestructible.
-
The pants are excellent – very comfortable, well-cut, and made from durable material. They have roomy pockets, especially the cargo ones, and a discreet internal pocket. This is another pair of these pants I’ve bought and they’re always perfect. Highly recommended.
-
I've bought Helikon M65 military pants several times, this time in olive green. I use both black and olive green models. They're very comfortable, dry quickly, and are easy to clean. They've survived multiple falls on rough terrain without any damage. Additionally, the material doesn't wear out despite long use and is reasonably breathable. The pants may not be suitable for every occasion, but that's a matter of preference. I definitely recommend the Helikon M65 line of pants.
-
The pants are great, they have a high waist which is a big plus, they are loose and do not restrict movement. I am 180 cm tall, I chose size M Long and it fits perfectly. I hope they will serve me as long as the original US Army contract pants. For now, I definitely recommend the Helikon M65.
-
First I bought the olive color and liked them so much that I bought another pair in woodland. These are probably the best fitting pants I’ve ever had. Instead of Velcro, there are snap buttons, which I appreciate because that was important to me with my last purchase. Classic model in excellent shape!
-
These are my first M65 pants from Helikon, I chose them because I value their quality. I've been wearing them for quite a long time during outdoor trips – they're well-made and of durable material. Intensive use doesn’t harm them, especially after impregnation; they work well even in light rain. Big plus for the drawstring legs. I recommend these pants.
-
I have several different pants, including OTP, but I decided to buy the M65 model from Helikon. S.A. is a great M65 jacket. The pants are characterized by very good quality, functionality, and aesthetics! They've become one of my favorites, and although they were originally meant for vacation, I wear them every day.
