Description
Lightweight Base Layer for High-Activity Use
The US LVL 1 Thermal Long Johns from Helikon-Tex are designed as a functional first clothing layer for moderate to intense physical exertion. Made entirely from Quick Dry polyester, they efficiently wick excess moisture away from the body. Weighing just 160 g and with a fabric density of 130 g/m², they offer an ideal balance of lightness, moisture control, and comfort in tactical environments.
Material Structure – Breathable and Quick-Drying
The integrated Helikon-Tex Quick Dry knit structure ensures fast drying and keeps the skin comfortably dry – even during high-output activity or in warm, humid climates. The fabric is abrasion-resistant, easy to care for, and retains its shape even with frequent use. Flat seams reduce friction and help prevent skin irritation when worn for extended periods under load-bearing gear.
Thermoactive Function in Layered Systems
These long johns actively support body temperature regulation, retaining warmth during rest and dispersing heat during movement. They form a reliable foundation for modular cold-weather or shell systems. The close-fitting cut enhances moisture transport and ensures a secure fit without restricting movement.
Application and Practical Use
Ideal for marches, training, range use, or trekking – the US LVL 1 Long Johns are especially suited for use in moderate climates or as a base under insulating layers. They pack down small and deliver high functional value at minimal weight. Even during long hours in the field, they provide comfort and efficient moisture management.

US LVL 1 vs. US LVL 2 – Which Thermal Pants Fit Your Mission?
Helikon-Tex offers two thermal pant variants – US LVL 1 and US LVL 2 – each tailored for specific climate zones and activity profiles:
- US LVL 1 is the preferred choice for warm to moderate climates and high-intensity movement. With a lighter fabric weight (130 g/m²) and superior moisture wicking, it excels during marches, field exercises, or as sun protection when worn as a standalone layer.
- US LVL 2 is engineered for cold to very cold conditions and lower activity phases. The heavier construction (220 g/m²) delivers solid insulation while maintaining breathability – making it ideal for winter bivouacs, guard duty, or alpine missions.
Both models are fully compatible with the Helikon-Tex layering system – the choice depends on temperature, activity level, and mission duration.
