Constructed from VersaStretch Lite fabric, these shorts are remarkably lightweight and breathable. The outer layer features a Teflon coating, enhancing resistance to stains and dirt. A modern cut, strategically positioned seams, and the material used provide exceptional freedom of movement and durability. They offer an excellent balance between military and civilian attire.

These are the best shorts I have ever had. There could be more colors, but they fit perfectly, are comfortable, light, and made from good material. I really recommend them.

The shorts are very comfortable, just like the entire Helikon series. At this price I wouldn't hesitate long to buy, it's really worth it because they can sell out quickly. I recommend them.

Sensational. These are the best shorts I've had so far. They are perfect for hot days and for trekking or mountain hikes. They're durable, lightweight, breathable, and have perfectly designed pockets. I own two pairs and am very satisfied.

Fantastic short shorts from Helikon. Very lightweight, they dry extremely quickly and are very breathable. The thoughtful arrangement of many pockets increases their functionality. I am very happy with my purchase and can honestly recommend them to anyone looking for quick-drying shorts.

I came back for a second pair for work because they're excellent in terms of size and function. The color stays vibrant even after many washes. They're very light and I'm already used to the pocket layout, similar to the longer version.
-
Great! These are the best shorts I've had. They're incredibly flexible and stretchy, so they don't restrict movement at all, even when climbing a tree. When I empty my pockets, like taking out a knife or other accessories, they're very comfortable.
-
Amazing. These are the best shorts I have had and still have. They are very stretchy and flexible, so they don't get in the way even when climbing a tree. After taking all the stuff out of the pockets, like a knife or bazooka, they're very comfortable.
-
Fantastic shorts, the best I’ve had so far. Very elastic and stretchy, so they don’t restrict movement even when climbing a tree. Even with full pockets, for example with a knife or other things, they’re still comfortable.
-
The shorts are light and breathable, perfect for hot weather. The stretchy material provides freedom of movement. The pockets are functional and the workmanship is very solid.
-
With such a promotion, there's no need to think – just get them! The shorts are just brilliant, especially for warm days. They don't overheat, they're comfortable, airy, and they don't cause chafing.
-
The shorts are very flexible, so they'll work great even for running or sports activities. They don't cause chafing – I've never had more comfortable ones during trekking. I recommend them!
-
Very light and thin shorts. I think they won’t necessarily work for work, but for summer – everywhere except work – they’ll be a great choice precisely because of their features. Very good workmanship, and lots of practical pockets. They’re versatile. I’m very happy with the purchase and recommend them!
