Great gloves, purchased for himalayan trek. Kept hands warm in very cold temperatures. Only minus a star as gloves could have benefited from having a sturdier outer layer. With Velcro on my jacket,... See more

About Sub Zero Technology Ltd

Written by the company

During a cold and wet scramble along the Lake Districts Helvellyn mountain in 1967, Derek Laxton hit upon inspiration for a technical range of thermal underwear.

With a trained mechanical engineer background and a lust to run his own company, in 1969 Sub Zero Technology was created. From their original Leicester Textile Mill, the Sub Zero Factor 1 range of thermal base layers was born to worldwide acclaim.

In the five decades since, Sub Zero have expanded their range to include heavy weight thermal mid layers through to insulating down jackets. Never a company to stand still, Sub Zero have adopted new manufacturing processes, such as seamless knitting technology and body mapping, to produce garments that are at the pinnacle of performance.

Sub Zero today is still family owned, with the third generation of Laxtons running the company. The factory and offices now reside in rural Leicestershire, with the workforce coming from the local communities. Sub Zeros work ethos is still true today as it was form its interception - to design and manufacture technical outdoor clothing using the finest technical textiles for the words most extreme conditions.

Company was reality great to deal with .
Delivery again no problems .Company kept me informed throughout .
Have not used the baselayer as yet . But based on having read the great glowing review on the daily telegraph from paul hart the adventurer regarding this base layer .
It should be great . The quality of the baselayer looks fabulous .
And finally , make sure you are sat down.. it is MADE IN ENGLAND . Which is really great, and a real rarity these days .Normally everything is made in china..

Ultra Marathon Base Layering Review

I used 2 of the Sub Zero tops during an ultra run in October. Having not tried them before, I must admit, I was a little apprehensive as I have been wearing the same brand of gear for years. The verdict? They were absolutely fantastic! I wore the thermal base layer factor 1+ during the day, then layered the thermal midlayer factor 2 turtle neck over the top during the night. I was as warm as toast. Right.... what's the next product I can add to my collection? : ) x

Have worn Sub-Zero base layers for over 10 years

Have worn Sub-Zero base layers for years having been issued with some whilst working in the Middle East over 10 years ago. Quality is exceptional and I have found nothing comparable.

We are just in the process of expanding our summer range so keep a look out for new products being released next summer. They should include some anti-mosquito clothing.

The product was as advertised but arrived much later than predicted by staff. Could have been to do with the holiday rush, but they offered no warning until it was too late despite my phone calls before confirming the order. In the end, the product arrived too late to take on my trip. Maybe for next time.
