Product Information
Full details
The Mascot Advanced Thermal Jacket is designed for adults seeking a versatile, water-repellent, and warm outerwear option for various conditions. Its key benefit lies in the CLIMASCOT® Lightweight Insulation, which provides excellent warmth without adding bulk, making it ideal as a mid-layer or standalone piece. A potential caveat for some users might be its primary polyester construction, which may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers in high-exertion activities. This jacket features a two-toned design, a high collar, secure zip pockets, and ergonomic shaping for freedom of movement, with added reflectors for visibility.

FAQs
What makes the CLIMASCOT® insulation special?
CLIMASCOT® is a lightweight insulation that provides warmth without adding significant bulk. It has a low density and a unique composition that allows it to be compressed easily, making it an excellent insulating mid-layer.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash with colored items at 40°C. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron. Professional dry-cleaning is also an option.
Can I wear this jacket if I have a 'Male' or 'Female' specific clothing preference?
This jacket is designed for 'Any gender' and features a unisex cut with ergonomic shaping suitable for a wide range of body types.
What is the benefit of the stretch fabric at the sides?
The stretch fabric at the sides, combined with ergonomically shaped sleeves, provides extra freedom of movement and a comfortable, snug fit, allowing for better mobility during work or physical activities.
How does the drawstring at the waist help?
The adjustable elastic drawstring at the waist allows you to customize the fit, helping to seal in warmth and provide a more personalized and comfortable feel.
What does 'STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX' certification mean?
This certification ensures that the materials used in the product have been tested for harmful substances and are therefore safe for human health.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing. Check that the outer material's water repellency is still effective; if not, consider a re-waterproofing treatment. Also, ensure you are not overheating during use, as trapped moisture from perspiration can make the inside feel damp.
Reduced freedom of movement
Confirm that the stretch fabric panels at the sides are not obstructed and are functioning correctly. Ensure the size is appropriate; a jacket that is too small will restrict movement regardless of design features.
Reflectors appear to be damaged or less effective
Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the reflector areas during washing. If damage is visible, the reflectivity may be compromised. For safety, consider if the jacket needs replacement if reflectors are significantly degraded.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant applied to the teeth can help.
