Sub Zero Technology Limited is a British outdoor clothing manufacturer based in Leicestershire. It was founded in 1969 by husband and wife team Derek and Delese Laxton. It sells technical outdoor cold weather clothing under their SUB ZERO brand.
History
After getting wet and cold walking on Helvellyn mountain in the spring of 1967[1], Derek Laxton hit upon the idea of an undergarment that would insulate the body without absorbing moisture. Using his mechanical engineering training he initially made samples in his kitchen, selling them as a side-line from his parents stall on Leicester market.
