FAQs
What are the primary benefits of the four-way stretch fabric?
The four-way stretch fabric offers superior flexibility and comfort, allowing for a wide range of motion during demanding physical activities. It adapts to your movements without restricting you.
Are kneepads included with the trousers?
No, kneepads are not included. The trousers feature specialized kneepad pockets designed to accommodate MASCOT® kneepads, such as the Waterloo, Likasi, or 20118-915 models, which must be purchased separately.
How do I ensure the best fit for these trousers?
To ensure the best fit, refer to the MASCOT sizing chart and consider your specific measurements. The ergonomic cut and low waist are designed for a comfortable, close fit that enhances freedom of movement.
Can these trousers be worn in wet weather?
Yes, the trousers have a water-repellent finish that provides protection against light rain and moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended.
What makes the kneepad pockets so durable?
The kneepad pockets are made from a combination of CORDURA®, Kevlar®, and Dyneema®, which are highly resistant to abrasion, punctures, and wear, offering exceptional durability for demanding work environments.
Are there any specific washing instructions to preserve the fabric's properties?
Yes, it is recommended to wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F), avoid bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron at medium temperature. Avoid fabric softener, as it can negatively impact the stretch and water-repellent properties.
What is the purpose of the tool strap?
The tool strap, located at both sides of the waist, provides a convenient place to hang tools, keeping them easily accessible during work.
Troubleshooting
Kneepads not fitting securely
Ensure you are using MASCOT® recommended kneepads (Waterloo, Likasi, or 20118-915) which are designed for the specific pocket dimensions. Check that the kneepads are inserted correctly into the CORDURA® pockets.
Water repellency is reduced
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with washing. Consider using a re-proofer spray suitable for technical fabrics after washing and drying, following the re-proofer's instructions.
Phone pocket magnetic fastening not working effectively
Ensure there are no obstructions in the pocket or on the magnetic clasp. For heavily ruggedized phones, the thickness might affect magnetic closure; ensure the phone is positioned correctly within the pocket.
Seams feel restrictive
The ergonomic cut is designed for movement. Ensure the trousers are the correct size and fit. The double-stitched seams are intended for durability and should not impede normal movement if properly fitted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers are designed for immediate use. The primary setup involves selecting and inserting compatible MASCOT® kneepads (e.g., MASCOT® Waterloo, MASCOT® Likasi, or 20118-915) into the designated CORDURA®/Kevlar®/Dyneema® pockets for full certified protection. The trousers are compatible with a range of work boots and can be worn with a tool belt, utilizing the provided tool straps.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the water-repellent finish and fabric integrity:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F).
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting.
- Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature (max 150°C / 300°F).
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Avoid using fabric softener, as it can degrade the water-repellent properties and stretch.
- For best results, wash the product inside out.
