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 base layer 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
Hem - 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 long sleeves. Short sleeve versions of these mid layer tops finish just above the elbow, whilst the sleeveless version ends at the shoulder joint.
MID LAYER FIT
Our mid layers will contour to most body shapes when worn thanks to the fabrics in-built stretch. You should wear them close fitting but not so they are restrictive. Wearing baggy or ill fitting mid layers will lead to the loss of heat and a reduction in their wicking properties.
These mid layers are designed to be worn over the top of our base layers but they can be worn directly next to the skin if required. Sizes for both Sub Zero base layers and mid layers are comparable - so if you wear a Factor 1 plus base layer in large, then you should require a Sub Zero Meraklon mid layer in the same size and vice versa. However, this may not work out for everybody so please consult the size chart below.
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. They are applicable to our long sleeve and short sleeve mid layers in round neck and V-neck styles, as the bodies are based on the same pattern.
The table below shows the garment measurements for our Meraklon Mid layers. There is a tolerance of +/- 5mm.

Washing instructions for Sub Zero Meraklon Mid Layers and accessories are either printed on a white silk tag stitched to the back neck of the garment or on an inside seam. Some accessories may also have this information printed on a removable sticker attached to the inner fabric face.
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 a base layer specific washing treatment
- Wash dark colours separately, do not bleach, do not use fabric conditioners
- These mid layers and accessories 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
- Regular ironing may be performed at a low setting (110°C, 230°F) only, but we advise against it.
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.

Meraklon Unisex Short Sleeve Mid Layer V Neck Tops are perfect for colder days where a base layer is just not warm enough on your commute, but you need it to be invisible under an open neck shirt.
These tops are manufactured form 100% polypropylene fabric, with a smooth outer face and a brushed inner face for heat retention. Not only does the fabric retain very little moisture, it is also hypoallergenic, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin. With a lot of stretch in-built into the fabric (60% along the width, 40% along the length), they feel as comfortable as a second skin.
The design of these tops incorporate long body lengths to prevent lower back exposure during activity, and set-in sleeves to increase the wicking efficiency and reducing thermal loss, whilst the v shape provides more room around the neck.
* Please Note: We have paused the production of Meraklon fabric due to yarn supply issues. Once our stock has sold out, they won't be available for the foreseeable future.
