Great pants for hot days. In mud brown shade, they don't look like typical military clothing. The zippers are solid and don't open on their own. I recommend this product.
OTS (Outdoor Tactical Shorts®) - an upgraded variant of the popular UTS®(Urban Tactical Shorts) model. Compared to the UTS shorts, the OTS model is made of VersaStretch® Lite material - characterized by exceptional lightness and breathability. Teflon coating on the outside of the material increases its resistance to stains/dirt.
Thanks to the large number of pockets and their rational arrangement, these shorts are perfect for urban conditions, and will not disappoint during outdoor activities.
An excellent compromise between military and civilian clothing - discreet cut, functionality of combat shorts.
Innovative cut, appropriate stitching and fabric of the pants provide above-average freedom of movement and durability.
The pants have ten pockets:
- two classic mesh pockets at hip level having reinforced edges,
- four on the thighs (two wide mesh pockets closed with a zipper and two narrow Velcro pockets),
- four on the back (two wide mesh pockets and two narrow ones located inside the wide ones).
Instead of a button, the pants have a wide Velcro allowing adjustment of about 6 cm. The waistband of the pants is sewn with an elastic band, improving the fit of the pants to the individual characteristics of the figure.The opening is closed with a zipper made by the well-known Japanese company YKK
Two front belt loops in the lower part have additional loops, allowing to hook up, for example, a carabiner.

The shorts are very comfortable. The material is pleasant to the touch, elastic and airy, and also very lightweight—practically unnoticeable when worn. Especially comfortable to use in high temperatures. There are many useful pockets. My only complaint is about the shared flap over the two side pockets—this design means the Velcro of the neighboring pocket makes accessing the zipper harder. I would prefer each flap to be separate. Despite that, the overall impression is excellent—it's a great choice, especially for hot days. It would be nice to have even more color options, preferably in various camouflage patterns. I definitely recommend them!

I highly recommend – at 175 cm tall and about 85 kg, size XL fits perfectly. The shorts are lightweight, breathable, don't restrict movement, great for kayaking, and dry quickly!

The shorts are extremely comfortable, made of a pleasant-to-touch, flexible and lightweight material that you can barely feel on your body. They work great in hot weather and have lots of practical pockets. My only complaint is about the side pockets – one flap covers two separate pockets (one with Velcro, one with a zipper), which makes access to the zipper sometimes difficult. I would separate this flap into two. However, this does not change the fact that the shorts are very comfortable and perfect for hot days. It would be nice to have more color options, preferably in different camouflages. Overall, I highly recommend them!

I bought these shorts as a backup for the UTS ones for warmer days, so for now they're just sitting in my backpack. As usual, they're very functional. We'll see if the thinner material works when carrying more items.
-
The shorts are very comfortable, do not cling to the body, made of pleasant material that is easy to clean. They have many practical pockets and a Velcro instead of a button, which holds well. I recommend them.

If you like the UTP model but find it too hot in the summer, these shorts will be perfect – they are airy, have all the necessary pockets, and do not restrict your movements. The adjustable waistband means you can skip the belt.
-
I highly recommend these comfortable pants – they are durable, lightweight, and made from strong material. They work great for sports and camping, dry quickly, and fit well.
-
Excellent pants, incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and durable—this is my second pair. I can wholeheartedly recommend them for cycling, camping, or other outdoor activities—they have very spacious pockets.
-
The pants are comfortable, lightweight, waterproof, and pleasantly warm. The stretchy material is solid and resistant to damage, and the number of pockets is so large that it's hard to count them. The Velcro closure holds well, yet still gives you freedom of movement during activity and doesn't dig into the waist.

Very comfortable and practical shorts; the material is elastic and breathable. They are great to wear and very comfortable. Perfect both for mountain trips and the forest, and they work great on hot days.
-
The best shorts I've ever had! Very light, comfortable, and the pockets are great and easily accessible. The ripstop version is more breathable. Definitely worth the price – I recommend them.
-
The pants are great, but using Velcro instead of a button is a bad idea. The shirt gets caught on the Velcro and gets damaged, and if it's not closed properly, it can irritate your stomach when you bend over. During washing, it picks up everything. I need to take them to a tailor to replace the Velcro with a button.

Great shorts – they are soft to the touch, lightweight, breathable, and made from good quality material. They are also very functional, with lots of pockets. The price isn’t the lowest, but the purchase is definitely worth it. I recommend them!

They are really great. The material is light and breathable, and the pockets are very practical. They fit perfectly on a tall and slim person, with legs of the right width. I also bought the UTS version in another color because they are just as fantastic.
