Washing instructions for Sub Zero Factor 2 mid layers are printed on a white silk tag stitched to the back neck. 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 40°C or 105°F
- You can use a mild washing detergent but ideally you want to use a mid layer specific washing treatment
- Wash dark colours separately, do not bleach, do not use fabric conditioners
- These mid layers can be spun dry in a washing machine
- Do not tumble dry. These mid layers will quickly dry 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.
Due to the construction of the Factor 2 fabric, it may be susceptible to pilling on areas of the garment that witness excess rubbing - inside thighs, armpits etc. It may also occur if Velcro or unguarded zips come in to contact with the fabric. Pilling is the formation of small lint beads caused by the rubbing of the fabric by external pressure. They do not affect the performance of the garment. Please do not remove these with a lint remover if possible as they protect the fabric from further pilling.
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.

Factor 2 Mens Long Sleeve Mid Layer Tops insulate the body without the need for being bulky, providing cold weather users with unrestricted movement.
Please note: These Factor 2 tops are in the old style of the garment, with no side panels, making them less fitted than our current range. They are also 6cm wider in the chest, so you may need to drop down a size. They come with a double cuff (no thumb holes), and some have a previous version of our logo. They may have some slight dirty marks as well. To allow for identification, a corner of the back neck label is cut out. They will be packed in our standard plastic security bag without tags.
