Product Information

Full details

The Mascot Advanced Thermal Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a warm, water-repellent, and versatile work jacket. Its key benefit is providing significant warmth without bulk thanks to CLIMASCOT® insulation, while its caveat is that it is best suited as a mid-layer or for moderate conditions due to its lightweight nature. This jacket features a two-toned design, multiple zipped pockets, ergonomic shaping for freedom of movement, and reflective elements for increased visibility.

FAQs

What is CLIMASCOT® insulation?

CLIMASCOT® is a lightweight insulation material that provides warmth without adding bulk. It is designed to be effective as a mid-layer, trapping body heat efficiently while remaining compressible and lightweight.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can resist light rain and moisture. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a fully waterproof outer garment.

How should I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket on a colored wash cycle at 40°C. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Professional dry-cleaning with perchloroethylene or hydrocarbons is also permissible.

What does 'ergonomically shaped sleeves' mean?

This means the sleeves are designed to follow the natural curve of the arm, allowing for greater freedom of movement and reducing discomfort or restriction during activities that involve reaching or bending.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective elements are integrated into the design to enhance visibility. Like any garment, their reflectivity can diminish with excessive washing or wear, but they are designed for standard work conditions.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

As a mid-layer, it can contribute significantly to warmth in very cold weather. As a standalone outer layer, it is best suited for moderate to cool temperatures, especially when combined with appropriate base layers.

What is the benefit of the adjustable drawstring at the waist?

The adjustable drawstring allows you to cinch the waist of the jacket for a more customized fit, helping to seal out drafts and retain body heat, while also providing a more tailored silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restricts movement.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch fabric at the sides and ergonomic sleeves offer flexibility, but if the base size is incorrect, movement can be limited. Consider trying a larger size if you plan to wear bulky layers underneath.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

The jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer shell is recommended. The water-repellent treatment may also need reapplication if it has worn off over time.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently run a graphite pencil or wax along the zipper teeth to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reduced warmth over time.

The CLIMASCOT® insulation is designed for durability, but if you notice reduced warmth, ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can degrade insulating properties. Ensure the jacket is not overly compressed for long periods, as this can affect the loft of the insulation.
