Sub Zero

It's been a strange week...

While everyone has been trying to stay cool in the heat, we've been busy manufacturing thermal balaclavas and thermal mid layers. 😄

It probably sounds a bit mad, but that's how manufacturing works—we're always thinking a season ahead.

One day we're talking portable fans, the next we're making winter clothing!

Just another week at Sub Zero, proudly manufacturing in Leicestershire.

Michael isn't happy... 😬

After 34 years, his wife recently threw out his trusty Factor 1 base layer during a house move.

He got in touch hoping we still made it.

Unfortunately, the original Factor 1 was discontinued years ago after we couldn't get the fabric finished - it was replaced by our Factor 1 Plus range.

But 34 years of use says far more about that garment than we ever could.

Now we're curious...

Who's got the oldest Sub Zero garment still in regular use?

☀️ Could You Survive a Summer Breakdown?

Most of us wouldn't think twice about packing an emergency kit for winter.

But sitting in motorway traffic during a summer heatwave can be just as challenging.

A few simple items—such as drinking water, lightweight clothing, sunglasses, a portable fan and a power bank—can make all the difference if your journey doesn't go to plan.

We've put together our latest guide to help you stay safe, comfortable and prepared on every summer journey.

The recent combination of sunshine and rain has been great for the garden…

Unfortunately, biting insects seem to like it too!

Whether you're heading to the campsite, sitting by the lake, enjoying a BBQ or simply relaxing in the garden, it's worth planning ahead.

We've got a great range of Thermacell insect repellers, Anti-Mosquito clothing and summer essentials available online and in-store.

Don't let the evening bite back. 🦟

Some products earn a permanent place in your kit bag.

Not because they're fashionable.

Because they work.

Year after year.

Adventure after adventure.

That's the philosophy behind every Sub Zero product we create.

For more than 20 years Sub Zero has maintained ISO 9001 accreditation.

It's not a marketing slogan.

It's a commitment to doing things properly.

Quality systems help ensure consistency, continuous improvement and attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process.

Because products that last don't happen by chance.

They happen through quality.

🇬🇧 Made in Britain.

🌍 Sustainability is one of the biggest conversations in the outdoor industry today.

But while many discussions focus on materials, we believe another question deserves equal attention:

How long will the product last?

At Sub Zero we've spent more than five decades manufacturing outdoor clothing designed to perform in demanding conditions and remain useful for years.

We've also worked hard to improve our own manufacturing processes:

✔ Reduced fabric offcuts by 72%

✔ Reduced trade waste by 69%

✔ Increased recyclable and compostable packaging by 62%

✔ Improved factory energy efficiency by 43%

✔ Expanded our repair capabilities

Because sustainability isn't just about how a product begins its life. It's also about how long it remains useful.
