Helikon-TexHelikon Covert Tactical Pants

They on the large side if your between sizes then go for the smaller one!

So, why 3 attempts, a combination of under estimated weight loss and a large measure of stupidity on my part. Suffice it to say my first attempt was too large, my second attempt ordered the same size as before (stupidity) and my with final attempt I managed to get the correct size. Thank you to Military1st for bearing with me!As for the item, if you have read my other Helikon review this will come as no surprise. I selected these Urban CTP because I wanted the build quality of a tactical garment, but in a more discreet package that I could wear into the office, or on Skype/Teams etc. (not that anyone sees below desk height).They are just what I wanted. Lightweight, comfortable, superb materials and quality of manufacture, and they just look like ordinary pants, but will perform and last forever.I went for Shadow Grey because it seemed more mainstream and less military or tactical. They look great paired with the Defender 2 Gentleman shirt I bought recently.Not cheap, in any sense, but worth the investment, and excellent addition to my Helikon wardrobe.

I purchased this pair (my third) after wearing them in Vietnam & Cambodia. They look good and are light, cool and comfortable to wear in both extreme heat and normal conditions when you are active. Hekikon please make them available in blue.

Excellent trousers, highly recommended

I have several pairs of UTP trousers and shorts which I am very happy with so I chose to try these out. I hadn't spotted in the description that there is no cotton in these trousers, they feel like a sheep suit from the 90's. They are fairly comfortable. The name containing covert and tactical seems like false advertising as these trousers make a lot of noise/rustling when you move they are in no way covert or tactical.

Needed these for some gym pants for kettlebell workouts, but they are way better than expected. All the pockets are a bit annoying for my use, but these are so much better than shorts, or tracksuit bottoms. As a coach these are so much smarter to wear and yet I get full range of movement in Kettlebell get ups, goblet squats and snatches. Really impressed. If you are a StrongFirst coach or athlete, get these.

This is a great product. The sizes run very large. Love the velcro instead of button or snap. Will purchase again!!!

Durable, comfortable, functional, lightweight, and breathable. I wear them for outdoor work, hunting, and backpacking... I've beat the hell out of them all spring and summer and no signs of significant wear.

These pants are cut great for a slim fit and the material is very comfortable. I tried the blue Jean style in this item, but that was cut for a very loose fit.

These pants are awesome, do not appear tacticool, have some great features that are very discreet.

Die Versastretch-CTP von Helikon ist in meinen Augen eine angenehme Sommerhose mit viel Stauraum. In den zahlreichen Taschen mit teils sehr "taktischem" Einsatzprofil lassen sich viele Every-Day-Carry-Dinge verstauen - vom Gewehrmagazin bis zum Smartphone. Die Gürtelschlaufen sind für Gürtel bis zu 5 cm ausgelegt. Der Stretch-Stoff gibt dem Träger eine ordentliche Bewegungsfreiheit, neigt aber bei jedem Schritt zu einem deutlichen Rascheln. Man kan zwar versuchen, dies zu ignorieren, mir fällt es jedoch schwer. Diese Eigenschaft als "laute" Hose gilt auch für die nochmal ein paar Gramm leichtere "Versastretch Lite"-Version. Wer leise unterwegs sein will, muss zur deutlich schwereren CTP aus Denim greifen.
