UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) 8.5" Polycotton Ripstop | Khaki | Helikon Tex

UTS (Urban Tactical Shorts) 8.5" – tactical shorts for bushcraft

These shorts from Helikon-Tex combine everyday comfort with thoughtfully designed pocket solutions for outdoor activities. The ripstop fabric with an elastic waistband provides the freedom of movement you need when navigating rough terrain or during camp tasks.

Technical specifications

The UTS shorts are made from 60% cotton, 37% polyester, and 3% elastane – a composition that combines breathability with durability and stretch. The khaki colour blends in with natural environments. With a classic jeans cut, these shorts feature reinforced pocket edges and wide belt loops suitable for belts up to 50mm wide. The size L offers a comfortable fit for average to larger body types.

Use during bushcraft

These shorts support bushcraft activities thanks to their clever pocket layout. Two classic front pockets plus two internal pockets provide space for a pocket knife, compass, or lighter. The cargo pockets on the sides are accessible without bending down. Key loops with D-ring compatibility keep important items within reach. The lack of water or wind resistance makes these shorts particularly suitable for dry weather conditions or as a base layer.

Who are these shorts suitable for?

The UTS shorts are ideal for bushcrafters who value freedom of movement and accessible storage. Also suitable for day hikes, forest camping, or general outdoor work where you need to access tools regularly without taking off your backpack. The casual appearance also makes them suitable for everyday use during the warmer months.
