The pants are comfortable, functional, and well-made; they work great for various types of outdoor activities. Excellent for cold and wet days, and with an added layer of insulation, they will do well even in freezing temperatures. I am very satisfied.
-
These pants are extremely comfortable and practical, and they look great in the Crimson Sky/Black color scheme. The material is durable and the fit hugs the body well without restricting your movement. The large number of pockets increases functionality, and the craftsmanship is meticulous. It’s an excellent option for everyday wear as well as for outdoor activities — I highly recommend them!

The pants are comfortable, well-made, and have plenty of practical pockets. They are warm and can be impregnated. It is worth measuring yourself carefully before purchase, as the legs in sizes S and M are, in my opinion, too long and too wide at the calves, resulting in a baggy cut, which can be inconvenient when using gaiters. Being 172 cm tall and slim, I feel some discomfort, but the advantages of the pants outweigh this drawback.
-
When choosing pants, I noticed that the size chart is quite large and unexpectedly differs from the standard sizes I have seen before. Despite this, I chose size S Regular. The size fit well, although personally I would have preferred slightly bigger volumes and the pants to be looser in the crotch area. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and can recommend this model to other buyers. The materials are very high-quality and durable.
-
In my opinion, these pants are great for the forest. As for the pockets—some of the complaints are justified, but with the right arrangement, everything fits. The material is excellent, and additionally, the pants have two clips for special suspenders, which allow you to load the pockets heavily. The high waist at kidney height is also a big plus. I definitely recommend them.
-
At first, I wasn't convinced about this model because I had never had it before. However, after trying the product in the store, I changed my mind. I was so positively surprised that I decided to buy it. Once again, Helikon lived up to the task and did not disappoint my expectations.
-
The pants are very comfortable for walking both on flat ground and uphill. The pockets bulge outward, so they don’t press in. The material handles kneeling in the forest well and doesn't get dirty easily. The higher back improves the fit, keeps the pants in place, and protects against the cold. The material doesn't soak through in the rain – water beads up on the surface. Size M Long fits a slim person with a height of 195 cm great. Highly recommended!
-
This is already my second pair of these fantastic pants. They are great both in the mountains, for trekking, and at the shooting range. They have a comfortable fit, are lightweight and very durable. They go perfectly with knee pads. I especially appreciate the high back. I highly recommend them.
-
I am very satisfied with the purchase. The pants are comfortable, and the raised waist ensures that my back isn’t exposed while bending over at camp. The cargo pockets are well-placed, and the small pockets inside are perfect for small items. The only downside is the width of the cargo pockets—they are quite narrow when inserting your hand, but once inside they are very spacious.
-
I've had these pants for almost a year and never regretted the purchase. They're of very high quality and practical—possibly the most technologically advanced pants I've owned. You can adapt them as tactical pants thanks to the thoughtfully designed pockets and organizer mesh inside. There is also a special pocket for knee pad inserts, which is a cool feature. The pockets are conveniently placed and nothing gets in the way. The material is durable, stretchy, and comfortable. In hot weather they can get slightly warm at the waist, so they're better suited to cooler conditions. I’m very pleased with these pants and plan to buy another pair.
-
The pants are extremely comfortable, with soft material and a slightly slimmer cut than the SFU Next model in the same size. I don’t completely understand the lack of a button on the fly. The cargo pockets could be bigger, but the rear pockets are interesting—the contents don’t get in the way when sitting. The Large Long size fits perfectly for a person 175 cm tall and with an 82 cm waist. I’ll probably buy another pair.
-
I bought these pants with hiking in the forest in mind. They are really comfortable, and the pocket arrangement is very well thought out and adapted to anatomy, if I may say so. Even with full pockets, nothing pinches or gets in the way, whether I sit or squat. Additionally, the loops for suspenders are very practical for those who use suspenders from M65 pants. Highly recommended.
-
Very good pants with large pockets. Size M fits great on a 167 cm, 73 kg waist, although they're a bit too long – but thanks to the drawstring at the cuffs, you can easily adjust them and wear them with high boots.
-
After several months of use, the velcro at the waist is getting weaker. The side pockets are too far back – when sitting down I have to move items so as not to squash them with my thigh. The phone compartment is almost at the back of the leg, so it can be easily damaged when sitting down. The main pockets are shallow. The back pockets are not practical in size – too narrow for a hand, and carrying a knife in them is uncomfortable, since you end up sitting on it. On the plus side: very good material and sturdy seams, and a big plus for the long option for tall and slim people.
