I have two pairs and I am very satisfied. They dry quickly and keep you warm even at -18 degrees. The material is pleasant, the workmanship is solid, after a year of use there are no signs of wear.

Helikon US LVL 1 Long Johns - Olive Green
The Olive Green thermal leggings Helikon-Tex are designed to be worn as a base layer directly against the skin. They serve as a foundational component of the U.S. Army’s ECWCS (Extended Cold Weather Clothing System). Made from lightweight and durable Helikon-Tex Quick Dry fabric, they efficiently wick moisture away from the body to keep you dry and comfortable.
Thermoactive Quick Dry material
The leggings are made from Helikon-Tex Quick Dry thermal knit, composed entirely of polyester. The fabric dries quickly and efficiently wicks moisture away from the skin, providing thermal comfort even during intense physical activity. A specially engineered fiber structure enhances evaporation efficiency. These base layer leggings work well with other ECWCS garments or thermal wear, making them ideal for cold and transitional weather conditions.
Well thought out cut
The long johns feature elastic bands at the waist and ankles, ensuring a snug fit and helping retain body heat. The fabric and ergonomic design allow full freedom of movement. A traditional fly is included for convenience. Flat seams help reduce the risk of chafing.

Outstanding product to wear under thin trekking trousers. Works perfectly for forest or mountain trips – keeps you warm and does not restrict movement. As always, Helikon offers high quality at a reasonable price. I recommend it.
-
The Helikon LVL 1 leggings pleasantly surprised me with their light weight. They worked great as a first layer under long trousers, but they are also good under shorts in changeable weather. When not needed, they're easy to take off and pack away as they take up little space and are very light. They are perfect for various sporting activities, hiking and training.
-
I am very satisfied. They fit well, do not cause chafing and, most importantly – they keep you warm even during heavy frosts, so you can safely practise sport or play in the snow. They are also comfortable during winter activities such as running, camping, training on the training ground or playing airsoft.
-
Like all Helikon products, these trousers are perfectly made. After two days of wearing, they still breathe well and dry quickly. Proven!
-
Like the boxer shorts, these leggings keep the skin dry in the lower body. There hasn't been a frost yet, but they'll certainly protect well against the cold. They do not restrict movement, do not slip down and are easy to clean.
-
I tested them on the training ground during severe frosts, rolling in the snow, and I was pleasantly surprised. They do not let in moisture, keep feet warm, and the foot can breathe freely.
-
High-quality product. It fits the body perfectly, providing insulation during physical exercise. They stay in place perfectly during activity, which is a great advantage.
-
The leggings are very good, elastic, and even for larger thighs, size XS fits well and does not restrict movement. They keep you warm on cold days, I recommend them.
-
The leggings are well made. Size L fits perfectly for a person with a height of 186cm.
