Helikon US LVL 2 Long Sleeve Termoactive Shirt - Black
The black thermal fleece sweatshirt with long sleeves by Helikon-Tex functions as the second layer in the ECWCS (Extended Cold Weather Clothing System) employed by the U.S. Armed Forces. Constructed from lightweight yet durable Comfort Dry fleece, it effectively wicks away moisture while retaining body heat. Incorporating elastane into the fabric enhances stretchability, providing unrestricted movement.
Thermoactive Comfort Dry fleece
The shirt is crafted from Comfort Dry thermal fabric, which is composed of 95% polyester and 5% elastane. The material is designed to dry swiftly and effectively manages moisture away from the skin, providing thermal comfort even during vigorous physical exertion. A distinctive grid-like structure enhances the efficiency of evaporation, and fleece fibers offer excellent insulation in cold temperatures. It pairs well with additional layers of the ECWCS system or other thermal clothing, making it ideal for cold and variable weather conditions.
Well thought-out cut, high collar
The shirt features long sleeves with thumb openings to help keep them in place during activity and provide extra warmth around the hands. An extended back panel offers protection for the lower back and kidney area from cold, especially when bending or crouching. Flat seams are utilized to minimize skin irritation. The high collar shields the neck from wind and cold, while the long front zipper allows for easy dressing and offers ventilation when necessary.

The thermal active shirt is very comfortable – for my body type (slight belly), size L fit well but didn't feel tight. It serves its purpose – it effectively wicks away sweat and moisture after exertion, for example, after getting out of a hot shower, I could feel the moisture evaporating instead of staying on my skin, and at the same time, I wasn't cold and didn't feel uncomfortable. The shirt also worked great during the PiRO night competition at the shooting range – wearing only it on my bare body and a Helikon Patriot fleece, I felt warm throughout the entire event. A huge plus is the high collar, which protected my neck well from the cold. Now all I'm missing for a complete set are the leggings and the cap – it's really worth getting them.

The T-shirt is extremely comfortable and functional, made of pleasant-to-the-touch material. The sleeves with thumb holes are very practical. It retains warmth better than a jacket liner, even though it's thinner.
-
Very comfortable and warm, perfect for winter days. The high collar protects the neck well, and the thumb holes provide extra hand protection and make it easier to put on additional layers of clothing. Works great as both a first and second layer. Tested at -15°C – worn under a jacket with no extra insulation, it performed excellently. I recommend it!

The shirt is very comfortable and practical, made of a pleasant material. The thumb holes in the sleeves are really useful. It’s warmer than the liner from Gorka, even though it takes up less space.
-
I have the sweatshirt in size L, at 171 cm tall and 85 kg—it fits perfectly under a fleece or softshell at temperatures from 0 to +5°C. Very good quality. It's less stretchy than, for example, Brubeck’s merino, but more versatile. Sometimes I use it as a second layer under merino, which works great during stops or below zero. I value it for its versatility and definitely recommend it.
-
I have mixed feelings about this product—the cut is very nice, but the material is average and not very stretchy. My piece had a strange, gasoline-like smell. For a slightly higher price you can find much better quality products from reputable outdoor brands.
-
The shirt is well-fitted, fits well and is comfortable. Made of good material, as you’d expect from Helikon. Warm, exactly what I wanted. Dries quickly after washing. Express delivery, recommend!
-
This is already the second such shirt bought from Militaria—this time as a gift for my brother who spends a lot of time outdoors. He's very happy, so we already have two very positive opinions!
-
A warm and well-fitted sweatshirt, the sleeves are narrow (which I like) and a bit short – when put over the thumb, they are stretched (but I have long arms). It could be 5 cm longer as I wear it tucked in. My measurements: 186 cm height, 108 cm chest, 84 kg. I am satisfied with the purchase. It's worth noting that the black and green sweatshirts have different sizing (info on militaria.pl).

Very nice, warm and soft—perfect for winter. The high collar protects the neck well, the thumb holes further protect your hands and make it easier to put on more layers. Works great as both a first and second layer. Tested at -15°C—it was enough under a jacket without additional insulation. Highly recommended!
-
The shirt is warm and pleasant to the touch. The stand-up collar covers the neck well and provides protection, and the zipper allows for wide opening. I am 192 cm, 84 kg, and 88 cm waist, size L is quite loose – M would be more fitted.
-
Perfectly fitted, warm and comfortable. It works great as an additional insulating layer, especially when spending the whole day outside in the cold.
-
Great sweatshirt. For a winter mountain trip, as the first of two layers, it worked perfectly at 0°C. Highest quality material, longer so it protects the kidneys well and doesn't roll out from the pants during intense movement.
-
The shirt is very comfortable and warm. The material is comfortable to wear. Easy to wash at 60 degrees. The zipper at the neck is high—perfect for cold. I usually wear a thin layer underneath, then this shirt, then a vest, and at -5°C it's warm enough. I haven't tested lower temperatures this winter.
