Product Information
Full details
The Mascot Advanced Trousers are designed for professionals requiring durable, comfortable, and functional workwear. Their key benefit lies in the ultimate stretch material combined with reinforced kneepad pockets, offering excellent freedom of movement and protection.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are kneepads included with the trousers?
No, kneepads are not included with the trousers. You will need to purchase compatible MASCOT® kneepads separately. We recommend the MASCOT® Waterloo, MASCOT® Likasi, or 20118-915 models for optimal performance and certification.
What does 'ultimate stretch' mean for these trousers?
Ultimate stretch refers to the fabric's four-way elasticity (92% nylon, 8% elastane), allowing for a full range of motion in all directions without restriction. This enhances comfort and performance during physical tasks.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the MASCOT sizing chart. The product information indicates this pair is a UK 36 waist. The trousers also come in three different leg lengths to help achieve the best fit and optimal placement of features.
Can these trousers be worn in wet conditions?
The trousers feature a water-repellent finish, making them suitable for light rain or splashes. For prolonged heavy rain, waterproof outerwear would be more appropriate.
What makes the kneepad pockets special?
The kneepad pockets are constructed from a highly durable and puncture-resistant combination of CORDURA®, Kevlar®, and Dyneema®. They are also elasticated and ventilated for enhanced comfort and protection when kneeling.
Are these trousers suitable for all genders?
While the product description lists 'Male' and 'Any gender' for recommended use, the design with a low waist and ergonomic fit is intended for comfortable wear by individuals performing active work.
What is the fabric weight?
The fabric weight is 235 g/m², which contributes to the trousers being lightweight yet durable.
Troubleshooting
Kneepads are not staying in place
Ensure you are using the recommended MASCOT® kneepad models (Waterloo, Likasi, or 20118-915) which are designed for optimal fit. Check that the kneepad pockets are clear of debris and that the kneepads are correctly oriented.
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with wear and washing. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for technical fabrics after cleaning, following the treatment product's instructions.
Trousers feel restrictive
While designed for stretch, ensure the correct size has been selected. The low-waist and ergonomic fit might require adjustment to preference. Check that no items are overstuffing the pockets, which could impact fit.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the area around the zipper is clean and free of dirt or fabric. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
