The second pair I've bought and just as good as the first. I love the clean look with just the right amount of pockets and not an overtly military look. They are well made with good stitching. I like the velcro fastener but will see if this loses grip overtime.
Helikon UTP PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop Pants - Navy Blue
Urban Tactical Pants (UTP) in dark blue, made of high-quality PolyCotton Stretch Rip-Stop with a grammage of 220 g/m2. This fabric is highly resistant to abrasion and tearing, which ensures long-term use. Thanks to the well-thought-out arrangement of numerous pockets, the pants are suitable for both urban environments and outdoor activities.
Durable PolyCotton Stretch material, hard-wearing lining and Rip-Stop weave
The PolyCotton Stretch fabric, with a weight of 220 g/m2, is composed of 50% breathable cotton, 48% durable polyester, and 2% elastane. It offers an excellent fit while being resistant to mechanical damage, and it is also lighter and dries more quickly than pure cotton materials.
The reinforced Rip-Stop weave, featuring thicker threads that form a mesh, prevents further damage if a hole or tear occurs. The design also includes a tough polyester and cotton blend lining that defends against wind while promoting air circulation.
12 functional pockets and compartments for protective inserts
The pants have 12 pockets:
- two classic hip pockets with reinforced edges
- four thigh pockets (two wide zippered and two narrow ones with hook and loop fastener)
- four back pockets (two wide and two narrow, placed inside the wide ones)
- two inner pockets in the crotch area, ideal for a tactical flashlight or spare magazine
There are compartments at knee height, which allow protective inserts to be inserted.
Velcro for adjusting the width, elastic band and loops for accouterments
A wide velcro takes the place of the usual button, providing 6 cm of adjustability. A stretchy band integrated into the waistband offers a better fit. Two front loops feature additional loops for attaching a carabiner, for example.

The pants work great for outdoor use. They are very comfortable, provide good ventilation, and do not restrict movement. The cut highlights the silhouette, but the legs are a bit wider, which is beneficial due to the material used. I am 184 cm tall and weigh 85 kg. Additionally, the material dries quickly and is easy to keep clean—just wipe with a damp cloth. The pockets are numerous and convenient, and their arrangement is very functional. It's also worth mentioning the Velcro instead of the classic button at the fastening—it's a practical and clever solution. I highly recommend this product.

The main advantage is definitely the camouflage – it's rare to find clothing in the Rhodesian pattern. The pants are expensive, but their quality is very high. The fabric is durable and the pockets are well designed. The size is accurate. This model of pants definitely stands out.

This is already the second time I've chosen this model. Previously, I had the black version, which served me for almost a decade. The new pair ordered from the website is exactly the same as the previous one and fits perfectly. I love their versatility and great cut. This time, I went with the khaki color; I'll see if they’re as durable as the previous ones.
