Helikon is a brand you can trust. Another one of their products met my expectations – this is already my second pair of these same shorts, the first were khaki. They are very comfortable and wear great. The zippered pockets ensure that nothing will fall out of them.

ERDL Camouflage
The ERDL (Engineer Research and Development Laboratory) camouflage was created in 1948 by an American research lab. It gained popularity during the 1960s in the Vietnam War, primarily used by special and reconnaissance units. This pattern provided the foundation for later designs like the globally recognized Woodland and M81. The green-brown color scheme is highly effective in dense vegetation, European deciduous forests, thickets, and mixed woodlands.
