The shorts are made from solid material, and after an entire season of wearing them, no signs of wear are visible. They are comfortable and have a military style. I definitely recommend this model.
Tactical shorts UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) are made from high-quality PoliCotton Stretch Rip-Stop fabric (50% polyester, 48% cotton, 2% elastane) with a grammage of 220 g/m2. It features significant elasticity and resistance to abrasions and tears.
The innovative fit, reinforced seams, and the use of robust materials guarantee full freedom of movement. With a large number of pockets and their thoughtful placement, these shorts will be perfect for both urban and outdoor settings.
They have ten practical pockets:
- two classic ones on the hips with reinforced edges,
- four placed on the thighs (two wide with zippers and two narrow with Velcro),
- four at the back (two wide and two narrow fitting inside the wide ones).
Instead of a traditional button, a wide Velcro allowing adjustment within a range of 6 cm is used. The waistband features an elastic band which helps the shorts fit perfectly to an individual silhouette. All zippers are sourced from the renowned Japanese company YKK.
The belt loops are suitable for belts up to 50 mm wide, and the two front ones have loops that allow for attachment of items such as a carabiner.

Camouflage Tiger Stripe
Tiger Stripe is a family of camouflage patterns originating in Southeast Asia, the most popular variant of which is the pattern developed in the Republic of Vietnam. Its design is based on the French Lizard pattern, adapted for tropical conditions. Tiger Stripe consists of irregular, brushstroke-like stripes in shades of green and brown and wider, grayish lines, placed on an olive or khaki background. Such an arrangement works particularly well in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it effectively camouflages the silhouette among low and medium vegetation. The camouflage makes it difficult to detect at close range and allows one to blend into the dynamic, shaded vegetation background. The name "Tiger Stripe" alludes to the coat of tigers - the pattern imitates the natural striped color pattern, which works well in conditions that require effective contour breakdown in dense greenery.

Durable material, performs well even in difficult conditions and you don’t have to worry about damage. The camouflage looks attractive in person. The clothing is comfortable and has a lot of pockets, which is definitely an advantage.
-
I already had long pants in this camouflage, so I decided to buy the shorts. The camouflage is unusual and rather rare. As usual, Helikon provides high quality workmanship. The shorts are lightweight, very comfortable, and functional. I am satisfied with the purchase.

These are another pair of pants from this brand that I've bought, this time in a short version. It's a proven product—very comfortable to wear. The fit is well-tailored to the silhouette, there are lots of practical pockets, and the workmanship is solid and flawless. According to the size chart, they're a little too big, but only slightly, which actually turns out to be useful, for example when cycling. I recommend this product.

Comfortable summer shorts. An interesting type of camouflage, not very common, but looks great in person. The material is solid and resistant to damage. I definitely recommend them.
-
To be honest, the back cut could be better because the material sticks out a bit strangely under the middle belt loop. Other than that, these are very solid shorts.
-
Very good shorts. Impeccable workmanship, practical cut, and excellent arrangement and number of pockets. They performed perfectly during the heat in Cyprus exceeding 40°C. I especially like the brush stroke camouflage. I sincerely recommend them!
-
Great shorts with many practical pockets; the open ones in the back let you quickly stash small items. The thoughtful organization makes sure nothing gets in the way in the pockets. Additionally, the perfect length for summer—other models pale in comparison.
-
These shorts are very comfortable and well-designed. Their length over the knee means you won't be too hot even on scorching days. The sturdy zipper and strong Velcro keep them securely in place. The pockets, slightly diagonal on both legs, are practical and comfortable. It's worth checking the size carefully—although I usually choose L, here it was safer to order XL. I definitely recommend them!
-
Very nice, short cut of the shorts. The pockets are convenient, spacious, and do not restrict movement or fit tightly around the legs. I am eagerly awaiting new color versions or other camouflages.
