Factor 2 Wicking Thermal Layer

Totally warm: Totally dry


 

 

Factor 2 is a unique thermal mid-layer. Specially developed for exclusive use by Sub Zero, we manufacture our Factor 2 fabric with a hard wearing outer surface and a super-soft, brushed fleece-like inner surface.

Factor 2 garments can be worn on their own, or on top of a Factor 1 base layer in colder conditions.

 

The fabric transports perspiration away from the skin or the Factor 1 base layer and flashes it across its outer surface to disperse. The inner fleecy surface traps warm air to insulate the body keeping you at a dry, even temperature.

Factor 2 also has superior wind resistance and has proven itself time and time again to outperform mainstream polyester based garments in the severest conditions.

 
 

Factor 1 and 2 clothing was chosed by the Global Teamwork crew during the BT Blobal Challenge Round the World yacht race, the 'toughest race in the world'. 14 identical steel yachts race 30,000 miles round the globe.

They rely on Sub Zero's technical clothing to keep them warm and dry in the most extreme conditions, from baking heat to the iceberg strewn southern ocean.


 
 


 

Factor 2 is one of the warmest mid-layers available with a TOG factor or 0.72.

In-built anti-bacterial, quick-drying properties make Factor 2 the ideal choice for everyday and extended use.
