FAQs

What is CLIMascot insulation?

CLIMascot is a lightweight, soft insulation material used in MASCOT garments. It provides warmth without bulk and compresses easily, making it ideal for mid-layers or jackets where flexibility is key.

How do I know if this jacket is warm enough for winter?

The jacket's CLIMascot insulation is designed for warmth without bulk, making it excellent for moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For very low temperatures, consider layering it with a heavier insulating jacket or outer shell.

Is the jacket completely waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can resist water penetration to a certain degree, suitable for light rain or snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a coloured wash cycle at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, and ironing.

What does 'two-toned' mean for this jacket?

The jacket features two different colours, typically contrasting, to provide a distinctive visual style. This model is often seen in combinations like White/dark Anthracite or Black/dark Anthracite.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective elements are designed to increase visibility. Like most reflective materials, their reflectivity may decrease over time with repeated washing and wear.

What type of professional cleaning is recommended?

Normal professional dry-cleaning using perchloroethylene or hydrocarbons is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

This can happen if the outer material's water-repellent finish has worn off. Ensure proper washing and avoid harsh detergents. Re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

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

Reduced warmth from insulation

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can compress the insulation. Follow the care instructions for washing. CLIMascot insulation is designed to be lightweight, so extreme cold may require additional layers.

Reflectors appear faded

Reflective elements can degrade over time with extensive washing and wear. While this is normal, avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can speed up this process.
