FAQs

What is the main benefit of the stretch fabric?

The ultimate stretch fabric provides exceptional freedom of movement and comfort, allowing for unrestricted activity throughout the workday while maintaining high durability.

Are kneepads included with the trousers?

No, kneepads are not included. However, the trousers feature durable kneepad pockets designed to accommodate specific MASCOT kneepads, such as the Waterloo, Likasi, or 20118-915 models, for certified protection.

How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?

The water-repellent finish can be maintained by following the washing instructions and occasionally reapplying a suitable textile waterproofing agent after washing, as per the agent's guidelines.

What materials are these trousers made from?

The trousers are primarily made from 93% polyamide and 7% elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and lightweight comfort. The kneepad pockets are reinforced with CORDURA®, Kevlar®, and Dyneema®.

Can I use these trousers for casual wear?

While designed for work with their functional features, the comfortable and durable materials might make them suitable for casual outdoor activities. However, their primary design and aesthetic are for professional use.

What does 'ergonomically formed trouser leg' mean?

This means the trousers are shaped to follow the natural contours of the leg when in a working position (like bending or squatting), reducing material bunching and improving comfort and freedom of movement.

How do the integrated pockets enhance usability?

Integrated pockets keep tools and essentials close at hand without creating external bulk, maintaining a streamlined profile and preventing snagging. Features include a phone pocket with magnetic closure and a ruler pocket with extra compartments.

What is the benefit of the press stud adjustment at the foot?

This feature allows you to adjust the circumference of the trouser leg opening at the foot, ensuring a secure fit over work boots and preventing the legs from dragging or getting caught.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellent finish seems less effective.

Reapply a suitable textile waterproofing agent after washing, following the product's instructions. Ensure the trousers are clean before reapplication.

Kneepad pockets feel uncomfortable or stiff.

Ensure you are using the recommended MASCOT kneepads (e.g., Waterloo, Likasi, 20118-915). Kneepads may require a short break-in period. Check if the kneepads are inserted correctly into the pockets.

Trousers feel restrictive during movement.

Verify that you have selected the correct size and leg length. The trousers are designed for a close, ergonomic fit; slight initial stiffness may decrease with wear. Ensure no items are bulging excessively from pockets.

Phone pocket magnetic fastening is weak.

Ensure there is no debris interfering with the magnetic closure. The strength is optimized for secure closure without damaging electronics; extremely thick phone cases might affect closure strength.

Seams appear to be straining.

This is unlikely due to the double-stitched seams. If significant strain is observed, ensure the size is correct and avoid overloading pockets beyond their intended capacity.
