Great, warm long johns. They are extremely comfortable. They provide excellent warmth and effectively wick away sweat. I wear them every day at work in temperatures ranging from 39°F to -8°F, and they perform excellently.
Helikon-Tex US LVL 2 Long Johns - Black
Helikon-Tex thermal leggings are crafted as a second layer within the ECWCS (Extended Cold Weather Clothing System) employed by the U.S. Armed Forces. Constructed from lightweight yet tough Comfort Dry fleece, they excel in moisture wicking and heat retention. Including elastane in the composition ensures fabric elasticity and freedom of movement.
Thermoactive Comfort Dry fleece
Underwear crafted from Comfort Dry thermal fleece, consisting of 95% polyester and 5% elastane. The fabric rapidly dries and effectively wicks moisture away from the skin, ensuring thermal comfort during intense activities. A grid-like weave structure enhances the evaporation surface, with the fleece fibers delivering excellent insulation in cold conditions. This set integrates seamlessly with other layers of the ECWCS system or additional thermal clothing, making it perfect for cold and transitional weather.
Fitted leggings
The leggings come equipped with elastic bands at both the waist and ankles, providing a secure fit and aiding in the retention of body heat. The design and material offer freedom of movement. A traditional fly is included for convenience. Flat seams are used to minimize the risk of chafing and skin irritation.

Great quality and durable thermal leggings. I wear them every day at work in temperatures ranging from 4 to -22 degrees. They keep me warm and wick moisture well. I definitely recommend them.
-
Great long johns. The material is very pleasant to the touch. They are lightweight, keep you warm, and let your skin breathe. They have the right amount of stretch, so they fit the body perfectly. Size L fit best on a person who is 190 cm tall and weighs 86 kg.

Very high-quality thermal leggings. They are lightweight, durable, fit the body perfectly, provide warmth, and effectively wick moisture away from the skin. I highly recommend them to everyone.
-
I tested them in conditions where I only had these pants and one layer on top, while my friend wore two pairs of long johns and still had to warm himself by a heater. If you care about warmth, these pants are definitely worth buying.
-
A great addition to the previously purchased shirt from this set. Very comfortable, do not restrict movement. As mentioned below, they do not pull hair from the legs or cause irritation, which was often a problem in other men's models. They provide good thermal insulation even at -12 degrees and during long walks.
-
They are warm, hold heat well, are lightweight, and the inner material is soft and pleasant to the touch. I chose size L, they're quite loose, but the legs could be a little longer. I'm 192 cm tall and have an 88 cm waist.
-
Extremely warm and comfortable. I am 182 cm tall and weigh 104 kg, size L fits perfectly. I bought it together with the shirt and they work great as a set. You can't find anything better for winter days.
-
I already have the full set of new LVL1 underwear from American military stock. Now it's time for LVL2. The ECWCS clothing system (Americans say: 'eklix') is a really well-planned and durable solution for cold weather conditions. I felt proud seeing on the tags that Helikon-Tex makes contract clothing for the US Army. I still have BDU pants from this brand bought more than two decades ago. The company's development over the years is truly impressive.
-
This is definitely the best product I have used – I use them as thermal underwear for sleeping in a tent and for cold days outdoors. They retain heat very well. I honestly recommend them.
-
They definitely fulfill their function. A must-have for winter and chilly autumn days under the uniform. They keep you warm and dry quickly. High quality. Heavily used, but still show no signs of wear. I recommend them.
-
Very comfortable and well made, the size chart is accurate. They work great in the field, keep you warm, and do not irritate the skin or pull out hair like my previous pairs. I really recommend them.
-
Very good quality. I thought it would be poor, but Helikon did not disappoint me. Very comfortable to the touch and great for keeping warm on cold days. I recommend it.
-
Warm and comfortable. I definitely recommend them.
