The pants stand out for their good quality and durability. The material is long-lasting, with additional reinforcements and special stitching. They look really good. The fit is relaxed and provides comfort. Unfortunately, I had to return them because they didn’t fit quite right, although maybe my expectations are too high. I rate them 4 out of 5.

These are my first pants of this model and what I can say about them is that they have fairly large and handy pockets, especially on the buttons, which can be very convenient for someone. The convenient pockets on the back are separated for magazines and are very, very convenient to use. The pants are adjustable at the cuffs, which is handy. I would like the manufacturer to add a loop for hooking with laces, then it would be very convenient and I would have no complaints at all. The pants are high-quality with handy pockets, and I don't even know what else to say. Very nice and comfortable pants.

This is already my fourth pair of these pants, so far they are the most comfortable style and the actual size matches the description. In my opinion, the RAL 7013 color is more saturated and darker than in the photo. I definitely recommend it.

Overall, very good pants – they are practical, functional, and have a great color. I am 186 cm tall, weigh 82 kg, and size M Long is just right for me (I have a rather unusual body shape: narrow waist, broad thighs). The only downside I noticed (though it might not bother everyone) is the cargo pocket closure – it is indeed a bit short, and when the pockets are heavily loaded, there may be some difficulties, depending on how one uses these pants. Other than that, I have no complaints: the pants are not baggy, they are stretchy and very comfortable. I definitely recommend them!

Very good material and careful workmanship. The price is also quite reasonable. It's important to choose the right size. Overall, I recommend it to anyone considering the purchase.

Good product. There are many positive things to say about these pants – I'll try to keep it brief. They have a well-fitted but not too tight cut and very spacious cargo pockets that can fit even larger items. The pockets are positioned higher, so their contents don't get in the way when wearing the pants. There are also reinforcements in areas designed for attaching clips. On the back, the pants have two magazine pockets, and there are additional pockets under the knees, as well as elastic cords with drawstrings at the bottom of the legs. The double belt loops and the use of VersaStretch elastic material in the crotch area and lower back are, in my opinion, excellent solutions. The pants are fastened with a zipper and Velcro, which is convenient, although I'm not sure how long the Velcro will stay durable. In the "Multicam" version, the price is quite high, but it was worth buying thanks to a discount. The craftsmanship is of a very high standard, and I have no complaints.

These are yet another pair of Hel Ikona pants I own – they're well-made, very well designed, and I bought them again without hesitation. They work great at work, but I also wear them around town for everyday activities. The color is fine, and the pocket arrangement is a big plus. The promotional price is excellent.

Hello everyone. I believe this product is timeless – I've had my first pair of these pants for many years, and only now, when they've slightly faded, did I decide to buy a new pair. I've noticed that the material used seems a bit more modern, so time will tell if it's just as durable. At present, I can confidently recommend it, as it's definitely worth the purchase – especially since prices have recently returned to levels from a few years ago, which is an added bonus 😄

These ripstop cargo pants are breathable and simple – today I put them on when it was 5°C and instantly felt the chill ;) Compared to standard BDU, the legs are noticeably slimmer (regular fit), and the Velcro, just like in the UTP model, lets you better adjust the waistband. The elastic panels from the MCDU line significantly improve comfort and fit, and for those passionate about shooting or airsoft, they add a plus for the "tactical" aspect. The hip pockets are made of mesh and are rather shallow – there are also two small pockets, e.g., for a magazine. The cargo pockets on the thighs hold a lot, but their double-button closure may not ensure that small items don’t fall out during intense movement – it’s worth keeping this in mind. The calf pockets with Velcro are much more spacious than in the SFU Next; although I didn’t use them myself, for those interested, they are available. There are no back pockets (??) If the pants are on sale and you can use KSK points, I recommend them. The regular price from the manufacturer is quite inflated.
