REVIEW: Helikon-Tex UTL SKIRT (Urban Tactical Line)

The longer the days, the shorter the skirts, they say. Well, in this heat they must be much shorter. While our guys opt for "tactical shorts" - HERE is the SPARTANAT topic on it, girls have long had the chance to choose airy clothing. And with Helikon-Tex it can now also be tactical. The UTL Skirt is part of the Urban Tactical Line from the Polish quality manufacturer. And it is something that is often missing: a piece of equality. With its tactical configuration, the skirt fits into the line of Urban Tactical products. For those who want to compare personally: HERE is the SPARTANAT review of the Urban Tactical Shorts, for example.

The skirt cuts a fine figure. And not just with its many pockets, but also with a very good cut that gives the wearer a lot of mobility. The UTL Skirt definitely does not restrict.

But let's go into detail: At the top, the skirt has a fixed tab with which it is closed. The loops on the waistband are actually designed for a massive five-centimeter-wide belt. However, if you don't wear a holster or don't want to roll up your pockets, you don't have to use one. The UTL Skirt sits nicely even without it.

It closes with Velcro, underneath is a classic zipper, as with the pants.

The front pockets are reinforced: even the modern woman carries a pocket knife.

Slightly slanted, perhaps the most practical feature of the UTL Skirt: the cell phone pocket. So it is always within reach in its place.

This is what the thigh pocket configuration looks like. You could actually do without a handbag...

Rear view with the wide belt loops. They don't even show when a T-shirt is worn over them.

The back pockets are prepared to hold a wallet. But it doesn't have to. In the small pocket here, a pocket knife fits in perfectly.

The fabric, like with the shorts, is such that it doesn't mind a brief contact with fire. On top of that, it has RipStop, so nothing can tear.

Looks good and stylish: the UTL Skirt proves itself in daily use.

CONCLUSION: Whether in nature or as Every Day Carry in the city. The UTL Skirt brings the practical pocket configuration of Helikon-Tex pants with it and makes them usable on a skirt for women. A simple, well thought-out piece of clothing that proves its worth in everyday life and is often better than similar products from outdoor brands.

The Helikon-Tex UTL SKIRT (Urban Tactical Line) is available at all retailers - for example at TacOpsGear - that carry Helikon-Tex. The skirt comes in Khaki, Black, and Multicam, and costs €30.90.
