The shorts are extremely lightweight and breathable, and they dry very quickly after washing. They have many pockets, and the elastic material ensures high wearing comfort. They are very functional pants. Even after several washes, the color does not change. I highly recommend them.
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 material VersaStretch® Lite - which is 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 will be perfect for urban conditions, they will also not disappoint during outdoor activities.
The perfect compromise between military and civilian clothing - discreet cut, functionality of combat pants.
The innovative cut, proper stitching and the fabric of the shorts provide average freedom of movement and durability.
The shorts are equipped with ten pockets:
- two classic mesh pockets at hip height with reinforced edges,
- four on the thighs (two wide mesh pockets closed with a zipper and two narrow ones with Velcro),
- four on the back (two wide mesh pockets and two narrow ones located inside the wide ones).
The shorts instead of a button are equipped with a wide Velcro enabling adjustment of about 6 cm. The waistband of the shorts has been sewn elastic band, improving the fit of the shorts to the individual features of the silhouette. The shorts are closed with a zipper made by a well-known Japanese company YKK.
The two front belt loops at the bottom are equipped with additional loops, allowing you to hook up, for example, a carabiner.

Lightweight, breathable shorts, perfect for everyday wear on hot days. They're a bit too stretchy for me, which makes them fit tighter at the back, but maybe that will change after washing. Overall, I'm satisfied.
-
The color is great – it stands out among standard grays (although I really like gray as well). Very comfortable and practical. Perfect for hiking, everyday use, workouts, cycling, or the shooting range. The pocket layout is the same as the long pants (I already have a set), so using them at the range is intuitive (during both competitions and training). The price is attractive. Shipping was very fast (even faster than promised). I wholeheartedly recommend the Militaria.pl store!
-
They're great. I also have the black and red versions, but these are my favorite. Worth the investment; besides, the gray color hides dirt better than black. They're lightweight, breathable, and dry very quickly. I honestly recommend both the shorts and the store.

The shorts work great, the material is soft and pleasant to the touch. They are breathable and very comfortable during hikes and long periods of sitting. Size M fits perfectly for a height of 176 cm and weight of 78 kg.

Ordered yesterday, picked up today, and tomorrow I'm already heading to the mountains! Thank you militaria.pl! The pants are great, lightweight, and breathable, perfect for hot days. The huge number of pockets is impressive. Highly recommended!
-
Excellent shorts; they are easy to adjust thanks to the Velcro fastening, which holds very well. The material is great, light and airy—perfect for hot days. They dry fast and after washing, they haven't changed at all.
-
The shorts are fantastic! They are somewhat reminiscent of UTS, but made from even better material. The fabric is flexible, not too stretchy, and allows complete freedom of movement. They're great for cycling or hiking in the mountains. Perfect for summer, because they dry quickly and are very breathable. The cut and pockets are super, just like in the UTS. I liked them so much that I bought another pair.
-
I can honestly recommend these shorts. They are very comfortable and breathable, and thanks to the large number of pockets I can easily carry all my necessary EDC items. This is already another pair I own.
-
I wholeheartedly recommend them. The shorts are very comfortable, breathable, and thanks to numerous pockets, you can easily fit your EDC items. I already have several pairs like this.
-
These shorts are amazing! They're an improved version of the UTS, made from better material—stretchy, but not overly so, which allows freedom of movement. They're perfect for mountain trips or cycling. They're also great for hot weather because they dry quickly and provide ventilation. Tested on a bike at 35°C—they passed the test. Nice cut, functional pocket layout just like classic UTS shorts.
-
This is truly a good product. The shorts are comfortable to wear and have many practically placed pockets. The Velcro at the belt works well, and I hope it remains durable. The material dries quickly and stretches very well where needed.
-
I can wholeheartedly recommend these pants – I bought several pairs for my family when they saw how lightweight, breathable, and stretchy they are. They fit movements perfectly and don't restrict at all. It's worth paying attention to size selection – I chose the size I usually wear and everything fits.
-
In my opinion, this product is the best option when it comes to comfort and breathability of the material. It has lots of pockets, and the Velcro on the waist allows easy adjustment.
-
I give five stars because these shorts are perfect for me – they are lightweight, comfortable, and don't restrict movement. The pockets are very roomy. Helikon Tex, great job! Thanks to Militaria for the fast delivery.
