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.
Synthetic Insulated 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 synthetic insulated jackets. There is a tolerance of +/- 5mm.

Synthetic Insulated 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.

Washing instructions for Sub Zero synthetic insulated 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 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 an apparel washing treatment
- Wash dark colours separately, do not bleach, do not use fabric conditioners
- These insulated jackets and body warmers can be spun dry in a washing machine
- Do not tumble dry. These garments will dry very quickly on a line or airer as they retain very little water once spun/rung out.
- Do not dry clean
- Do not iron
- Keep the garment away form direct sunlight when stored as this may bleach the colour over time
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.

Mens Lightweight Synthetic Insulated Body Warmer is a versatile layer designed to keep you warm and comfortable in chilly conditions without adding extra bulk to the arms.
The shell fabric of these body warmers is manufactured from ultralight polyamide that is extremely breathable, windproof and water repellent*. Narrow baffles are constructed using micro-stitch-through techniques to prevent migration and movement of the insulation filling when worn.
Sub Zero Polyester Gold Insulation used in these body warmers has been designed to mimic the heat retention performance of down, whilst also being highly compressible, highly water resistant and super soft to the touch.
The fit of these body warmers is much more contoured than the jackets, to help prevent warm air form being wafted out during activities. They provide enough room to wear a base layer and mid layer underneath, as well as more casual shirt/jumper combination for smarter days out. The small back drop on the reverse provides lower back protection when sitting down, and reflective logos on the chest and the back neck increase your visibility.
Whether you're hiking, traveling, or simply enjoying a brisk walk around your neighbourhood, these Sub Zero body warmers are your go-to choice for insulation and style.
* The ultralight polyamide shell fabric is waterproof with a DWR treatment, but the stitching and zips are not, so water will eventually permeate through these areas.
