Helikon-Tex Heren Urban Tactisch Korte Broek 11' Zwart

Great shorts. Perfect for biking, hiking, camping, etc. Fit perfectly, great length. The elastic portion on the back is a bonus, and overall they are very well-made. I'm buying a couple more pairs.

Love the material, feels substantial but not thick and heavy. I'm 6'2" and 210, the size 36 is just a little loose but with the velcro allows for easy adjustment. The belt loops work very well if you want to wear a belt to hold em up. I prefer a little loose more than a little tight.The pockets are well placed and functional. The front and back pockets are deep and secure, nothing is accidentally falling out. The side zipper pockets are perfect for a phone. The small flap pockets work well for keys (or an extra mag). Everything fits and will stay where you put them.I have three pairs now. My favorite is the camo (my wife says they're a little redneck) and they are two years old and are not showing any wear.They are a little pricey but with the durability, comfort and functionality, I think they are worth it. I wear shorts a lot and these are the best I have found.

I need some shorts that can handle the wild. These seem to fit the bill: secure pockets, room to move.First: I have worn these shorts for only a week (every day for about a week). This review is based on my experience so far.Yesterday, after some mobility work, I ran five miles on winding, rolling, dirt trails (roots, sand patches, rocks, snakes, etc.) through some local woods. Then I did some forward rolls, hung upside down by my knees on a branch, did numerous pop-ups onto the branch, did a few sprints, stalked (hand-foot crawl, hand-knee crawl, soldier crawl, walking, crouching) through some woods, and did other movements I don't recall.On other days of the week, I did lots of running, crawling, balance work, mobility work, squatting, log flipping.My wallet, keys, and cell phone were secure. The shorts gave me room to move. The fit is not too loose nor too tight.The zipper pockets are big enough to hold my cell phone, which I need since I do some foraging, tracking, plant study, animal study, nature study, and the iNaturalist thing. I need my phone to take pictures of plants, animals, animal tracks, and the local ecology. The zipper is a "rough" one, not one of the "loose" zippers that easily unzip on their own. It stays in place. And the zipper pockets are placed well: down and to the side, but towards the back. This way, my cell phone does not hammer my hand when I sprint. (I sometimes had that problem with my Blackhawk cargo shorts, which I love, but which are, I think, discontinued.)I bought a trial pair of 511s (good company!), but their pockets won't fit my cell phone. So, they won't work for a good workout.These Helikon-Tex shorts are light, seem durable, and seem like they won't restrict my range of motion. I like the Blackhawk cargo shorts, but I've split numerous pairs in the crotch when squatting or shouldering logs in the woods; that's a blow-out of $60 or so (a blow-out that does not seem repairable; the shorts are ruined). I hope the Helikon-Tex hold up to my log work.They so far seem to pass the test, so I'll be buying more.Update 10 April 2019: I have worn them every day since 22 March. I've run 8.5 miles in them, crawled, rolled, stalked, climbed, run, sprinted, jumped, squatted, lifted, and done about every movement you could. And they have kept my cell phone, keys, wallet, and knife with me. The shorts are giving me what I need.

If you're looking for a great pair of shorts for an outdoor activity like trail hiking or playing golf, then this is a great pair of shorts. Well constructed, lots of functional pockets, and constructed of a durable fabric blend. A particularly nice feature is the velco at the waistband for an easy adjustable fit.

Fantastic product, definitely recommended although the fitting may not be to standard so be ready to return if it doesn't fit correctly but I don't say anything negative about the quality of the product, its extremely good quality. Definitely recommended.
