Very comfortable pants, they fit great at the waist thanks to the elastic band, have sturdy belt loops and practical, roomy pockets that are not too bulky. The downside is the mesh in the pocket at crotch height – if you wear only underwear under the pants, it can be uncomfortable for the skin.
Helikon OTP VersaStretch Pants - Navy Blue
Outdoor Tactical Pants are a modern version of the highly regarded UTP (Urban Tactical Pants) model. Unlike UTP pants, the OTP variant is made of a fabric using 4-Way Elastic technology, which ensures flexibility in all directions, quick drying, shape retention, lightness, and breathability. The addition of Teflon to the fabric increases resistance to dirt and stains. Thanks to the thoughtful placement of numerous pockets, the pants are perfect for urban environments as well as outdoor activities.
Above-average freedom of movement and durability
A great combination of military and civilian clothing features – a discreet fit while maintaining the functionality of combat pants.
The innovative design, carefully planned seams and high-quality fabric guarantee exceptional freedom of movement and durability.
10 spacious pockets
The pants are equipped with ten pockets:
- two classic mesh pockets on the hips, equipped with reinforced edges
- four on the thighs (two spacious mesh pockets with zippers and two narrower ones with Velcro fasteners)
- four at the back (two wide mesh pockets and two narrower inner pockets)
Additionally, at knee height, inside the legs, there are pockets for inserting protective pads.
Easy fit of the pants to the figure
A wide Velcro fastener has been used instead of a button, allowing for 6 cm of adjustment. Additionally, elastic tape has been sewn into the waistband for a better fit.
The two front belt loops have additional loops at the bottom for attaching accessories such as a carabiner.

Great tactical pants made from flexible material that doesn't restrict movement. They have plenty of pockets, wide belt loops, and are available in various colors. The only difficulty may be choosing the right size. These are some of the best pants both for tactical use and mountain expeditions.
-
The pants are very comfortable and fit well. At a height of 180 cm and weight of 92 kg, size L fits perfectly. Thanks to the elastic bands in the waist, it's worth adding about 2 cm to the given measurement. The pockets are arranged practically, the phone fits without any problem. I definitely recommend them.
-
Very good pants. They are well made and lightweight. The pockets are arranged in a practical way. I am 175 cm tall, I chose size M and it fits perfectly. The store, as always, is of the highest standard – fast delivery. I definitely recommend it.
-
Great pants. I am 191 cm tall, weigh 102 kg, and size XL fits perfectly. The pants are extremely flexible and lightweight. The pockets are designed to be very functional. The quality is top-notch.

Good morning, the OTP pants are great – they fit well and adapt to the figure. The material is stretchy, so it doesn’t restrict movement, although it does rustle a bit while walking. The pockets seem to be arranged similarly to the UTP model, which I have been using for a long time. The front, elongated pocket on the thigh is large enough to easily fit a bigger smartphone (older UTPs had trouble with this). The sizing is correct – XXL long fits a person who is 186 cm tall and has a waist of 104 cm. Thank you.

The pants are of very good quality and worth their price. They work great both for everyday wear in the city and for outdoor trips. They are well-made, and the materials used provide thermal comfort, dry quickly when wet, and are flexible enough not to constrict around the crotch or knees. I definitely recommend them.
-
These pants are amazing! They fit perfectly, like a second skin, are very comfortable and surprisingly pleasant to the touch, even though they're made entirely from synthetic fibers. I'm glad they have the same pocket layout as other Helikon models – that's a big plus (a narrow velcro pocket at the front, a larger cargo pocket slightly at the back), although the velcro is a bit stiffer than before, but I hope it will loosen up over time. Overall, I highly recommend them, especially if you can get them on sale.

Great pants! This is already my fourth pair of Helikon OTP: black, Crimson Sky/Black, Shadow Grey, and these current ones. They are much lighter than the older black or Shadow Grey versions. The cut and finish of Crimson Sky/Black and Shadow Grey remain the same compared to the older OTPs, but it seems like they fit the body better—almost like a second skin. I definitely recommend them!

Very good pants. The material is extremely comfortable, allows for complete freedom of movement, nothing restricts you. High-quality material, carefully sewn seams. The pockets are practical. The cut is excellent.
-
Exceptionally comfortable. The size matches what is given in the table on the website. They do not restrict movement. It is possible to wear an additional insulating layer underneath.
-
These are really great pants for hiking. The flexibility of the material affects the comfort of wearing them. Very well-placed pockets and a fashionable look.
-
This has long been my first opinion, but it's really worth writing it. The pants are very comfortable and look great, they're not skinny – these aren't skinny jeans, but real cargo pants, that's exactly how they should look. For me, at a height of 176 cm and weight of 78 kg, size M 33/32 fits perfectly and sits well on the hips. Highly recommend!
-
Very comfortable. The size matches the chart provided on the website. They do not restrict freedom of movement. You can wear an extra insulating layer underneath.

These pants are an investment for many years. They are the best I've ever owned. There are absolutely no flaws. It's world-class, just like the store itself.
