SUB-STANDARD Mens Lightweight Down Hoodies

SIZING GUIDE
There are no standard sizes for clothing, which is why each brand has their own unique cut and fit. Please do not presume you are the same size between brands for a similar product. If you have a synthetic insulated jacket that fits correctly, then use it as a template for these measurements.  

HOW TO MEASURE
Chest - Measure the full circumference of your chest just below the armpits
Waist - Measure the full circumference at the top of your hips
Back Drop - Measure from the back of your neck to the base of your spine
Arm Length* - Measure from the end of your shoulder to your wrist

* This measurement is only applicable for jackets. The body warmer version has no sleeves.

Down Jackets Fit
These jackets have been designed with a generous but not voluminous fit, allowing the use of base layers and mid layers underneath. Please be aware that these measurements are taken from the garments unstretched, apart from the 'TO FIT CHEST' column, that indicates the range of fit. 

The table below shows the garment measurements for our lightweight down jackets jackets - both the hooded and non-hooded versions. There is a tolerance of +/- 5mm.

Down Body Warmer Fit
These body warmers are close fitting to prevent the loss of heat through wafting of the garment, but will allow base layers, mid layers, and a jumper/shirt to be worn underneath. The hem will sit just below the belt line of trousers. Please be aware that these measurements are taken from the garments unstretched, apart from the 'TO FIT CHEST' column, that indicates the range of fit.

Over laundering down filled garments will reduce their lifespan. Try wiping the jacket and body warmers with a cloth first if dirty. For wet items, a quick blast in a tumble dryer on a cool setting should suffice. If a full wash is required, then follow the directions below.

Washing instructions for Sub Zero lightweight down jackets and body warmers can be found on the white silk tag stitched to the inside seam of the garment. 

Please follow these instructions carefully as failure to comply with them will make your guarantee void. If you have removed the tag or are unsure of the washing symbol meaning, the full washing instructions can be found below.

• Machine wash on a delicate/wool setting or hand wash in water not exceeding 30°C or 86°F
• You can use a mild washing detergent but ideally you want to use a specific down washing treatment 
• Wash dark colours separately, do not bleach, do not use fabric conditioners
• These down jackets and body warmers can be spun dry in a washing machine. 
• Cool tumble dry only. To reactivate the volume of the down after washing, they will need to be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Using tumble dryer balls will aid in the drying and restoration of the down loft.
• Do not dry clean
• Do not iron

GENERAL WASHING TIPS
When you go to wash any garment with a zip, ensure it is done up fully otherwise the exposed teeth may cause harm in the wash cycle. The same can be said for garments containing Velcro. Your best course of action would be to wash these garments either by hand or on their own in a washing machine.

With the advancement in detergent technology, you very rarely need to wash any garments these days above 30°C. It is better to use a specific anti-bacterial wash-in treatment rather than increasing the temperature.

A lot of Sub zero products, especially the base layers and mid layers, can be ironed on a low temperature setting. We would advise against this as the heat settings on irons are not always reliable. In any case, the stretch properties of synthetics helps reduce creases in the wash and if there are any afterwards, they often drop out when worn.

Like most synthetics, Sub Zero fabrics will melt or burn if exposed to flame or direct heat. They are not flame resistant; do not use them near ANY direct source of heat or flame. This includes some of our merino wool products that contain a small percentage of synthetic yarn.
