Helikon - Urban Tactical Pants® (UTP®) - PolyCotton Strech Ripstop - Rhodesian Camo - SP-UTL-SP-1K

Urban Tactical Pants® PolyCotton Strech Ripstop Rhodesian Camo Helikon SP-UTL-SP-1K

Urban Tactical Pants® (UTP®) from the Urban Line series enjoy a well-deserved cult status, and are by far the most popular model of Helikon pants. They owe this to their unparalleled combination of durability and convenience, combining the best features of combat pants with a civilian look. The trousers are perfect for everyday use, offering comfort and capacious pockets to carry EDC equipment such as a flashlight, phone or a multitool - as well as hiking, shooting or tactical activities.

Tactical pants in the legendary Rhodesian camouflage, which gained fame during the Rhodesian Bush War 1964 - 1979. It was used by Rhodesian soldiers and is associated especially with elite units such as Selous Scouts, Rhodesian SAS, Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI), or Rhodesian African Rifles (RAR). It is derived from the brushstroke camouflage used on the British Denison Smock parachute jackets, then adapted to the colors of the local bush and the conditions in the Zambezi River area and in the territory of present-day Zimbabwe. It is a kind of cult symbol of effectiveness in fighting communist partisans.

The anatomical, form-fitting cut does not restrict freedom of movement, and the thoughtful placement of ten roomy pockets allows for comfortable load distribution. The reinforced construction at critical points ensures durability even under intense use, and built-in pockets for Low Profile Protective Pads® system increase comfort and safety.

This version of the men's UTP combat pants® is made from Polycotton Ripstop fabric, a blend of polyester and cotton with a small amount of elastane, in Ripstop weave. The elastane gives the fabric some stretch for added comfort, while the distinctive Ripstop texture prevents the fabric from tearing (e.g. by snagging on a branch) and fraying, even if damaged locally. Ripstop also features increased abrasion and weather resistance - including water - ensuring high durability of the pants and their long service.
