Product Information

Full details

The Mascot Advanced Thermal Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable warmth and protection in various conditions. Its key benefit is the CLIMascot Lightweight Insulation, providing exceptional warmth without the bulk. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, best suited as a mid-layer or for moderate cold, rather than extreme conditions. This two-toned, water-repellent polyester jacket features a high collar, multiple zipped pockets, ergonomically shaped sleeves for freedom of movement, and reflective elements for enhanced visibility.

FAQs

What is CLIMascot insulation?

CLIMascot is a lightweight, soft insulation material that provides warmth without adding bulk. It is designed to be highly compressible and effective as an insulating layer.

Can this jacket be worn as a standalone outer layer in the rain?

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or splashes. For heavy or prolonged rain, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer garment.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart, which provides measurements for chest, waist, and sleeve length. It is recommended to measure yourself and compare with the chart for the best fit.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective elements are designed for durability under normal wear and care. Following the provided washing and maintenance instructions will help preserve their integrity.

What type of professional dry cleaning is recommended?

Normal professional dry-cleaning using perchloroethylene or hydrocarbons is recommended. Avoid harsh chemical treatments.

Can the jacket be used by women?

While designed with men in mind, women may be able to wear this jacket if the sizing and fit are appropriate. Consider ordering a size down and checking the specific measurements.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester with a fabric weight of 240 g/m².

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure the jacket is properly layered under a windproof or waterproof outer shell. Check that all drawstrings and zips are fully closed to prevent heat loss.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced

Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can degrade water repellency. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for polyester fabrics after washing, following product instructions.

Reflectors appear to be peeling or damaged

Reflective elements require careful handling. Avoid excessive abrasion and follow the washing and ironing instructions strictly. If damage is significant, the reflective function may be compromised.
