The factor 1 base layer is designed
to maintain a warm and dry micro-climate next to the skin
by the totally effective removal of perspiration while retaining
body heat in cool to cold conditions.
Each fibre is impregnated with a durable hydrophillic
water loving finish which quickly wicks away moisture then
'flashes' it quickly across the outer surface to either evaporate
or be picked up by the Factor 2 mid-layer.

Factor 1's main objective is to keep you warm
and dry, free from the harmful effects of 'sweat chill'.
Factor 1 is
made from our soft rib fabric knitted from polyamide fibres.
Superior and lighter than polyester based fabrics, polyamide
is much, much more effective and had 100% built in stretch
to get a very close fit for most body shapes.

Each
year, our Factor 1 garments are put through their paces
during the world's most famous boat race, the Oxford
and Cambridge University Boat Race.
Throughout the training year, Sub Zero
is worn by both boat crews. Factor 1 keeps them dry when
working hard, Factor 2 and 3 keeps them warm during training.
