Recommendation for L2 close fitting fleece jacket

In order to resist the cold winter, I specially selected two sets of well fitting L2 fleece sets: Helikon’s L2 set and Eagle Claw’s Shuttle 5th generation fleece jacket paired with 4th generation fleece pants.


In terms of workmanship

Both sets have issues with thread ends. The Hulikon set has an astonishing sheer number of thread ends (although it does not affect wearing), and we can easily trim the thread ends in the Eagle Claw set to almost invisible levels.

In terms of touch

both fleece jackets are treated with grid fleece inside, with different exterior designs. The Hulikon surface is smoother, while the Eagle Claw is consistent inside and outside, both using grid fleece.

In terms of design

Helikon falls short in detail handling compared to Eagle Claw. For example, Helikon’s chest zipper directly contacts the skin and feels uncomfortable when worn naked at low temperatures, while Eagle Claw cleverly designs the zipper to protrude, ensuring comfort when worn naked. Helikon’s cuffs do not adopt a closed design, which greatly reduces the comfort at the wrist when wearing tight fitting jackets.

In terms of lower body design

Helikon’s fleece pants have a looser thigh area, which is not as tight as eagle claw fleece pants. Additionally, Hulikon’s waist is too tight, resulting in an overall shape that appears to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is not suitable for the body shape of East Asians.

The biggest difference is that the Eagle Claw Shuttle series has specially added p cotton filling to the back and knees on both sides, greatly improving the insulation performance, and even surpassing my other Sanfu Red Flame second-generation p fleece fleece in some aspects, providing better insulation effect.
