Women's Shorts Helikon-Tex OTP 8.5 - black m

Built on the proven Outdoor Tactical Pants platform but cut for warm-weather mobility, the HELIKON Women's OTP 8.5" Shorts deliver an 8.5-inch inseam that clears the knee without sacrificing coverage. The VersaStretch Lite fabric blends 93% nylon with 7% elastane for four-way stretch that moves with you on the trail, at the range, or through daily errands. A DWR finish sheds light rain and spills, while the anatomical fit and Velcro-adjustable waistband keep the shorts secure without binding.

Highlights

• VersaStretch Lite: lightweight, breathable, quick-drying 4-way stretch nylon/elastane
• 8.5" inseam for unrestricted movement and ventilation
• Eight pockets: two main, two back, two cargo with YKK zippers, two small front
• YKK zipper fly with Velcro closure; elastic waistband with Velcro adjustment
• Belt loops fit up to 50 mm belts for duty or casual wear
• DWR finish resists water and stains; reinforced pocket edges for durability

In daily use

From early-morning hikes to all-day carry, these shorts keep essentials organized. The zippered cargo pockets secure a phone, wallet, or folding knife, while the open hip and back pockets offer quick access. The stretch fabric never fights your stride, and the DWR coating means a sudden drizzle won't soak through. The women's-specific anatomical cut eliminates the bunching and chafing common with unisex designs, making the OTP 8.5" a true everyday performer.
