Product Information

Full details

This Mascot Advanced 17115 Work Jacket is designed for adult males working in demanding environments who need reliable protection from the elements without sacrificing mobility. Its key benefit is the CLIMASCOT® insulation, offering warmth without bulk, making it an excellent mid-layer. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain might require additional outer protection. This two-toned jacket is constructed from 100% polyester and features a water-repellent finish, a high collar with a drawstring, and a secure zip fastening with an internal storm flap. It provides ample storage with multiple zip pockets and internal pockets, and its design prioritizes freedom of movement with ergonomically shaped sleeves, stretch fabric at the sides, and elasticated cuffs. Reflectors are integrated for enhanced visibility.

FAQs

What is CLIMASCOT® insulation?

CLIMASCOT® is a unique, lightweight, and soft insulation material that provides warmth without bulk. It compresses down to take up minimal space and is known for its low density and excellent insulating properties, making it ideal as a middle layer.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides good warmth for its weight, especially as a mid-layer. For extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it with appropriate thermal base layers and a windproof/waterproof outer shell for maximum protection.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C on a coloured wash cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. For professional cleaning, use normal dry-cleaning methods with perchloroethylene or hydrocarbons.

Can this jacket be worn by women?

While listed for 'Man' and 'Male' in some attributes, the design with stretch fabric and adjustable features may allow for a comfortable fit for women depending on their size and preferred fit. However, it is specifically engineered with a men's cut.

What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?

Water-repellent means the fabric resists penetration by water droplets, causing them to bead up and roll off. It provides protection against light rain or splashes but is not designed to withstand prolonged heavy rain or submersion.

Are the reflectors for night visibility?

Yes, the reflectors are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as during dawn, dusk, or in poorly lit work environments, improving safety.

What materials is the jacket made from?

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

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for a good fit, but the stretch fabric at the sides and ergonomic sleeves should provide ample freedom of movement. Check if items stored in the pockets are hindering movement.

Water is penetrating the fabric

The jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure, consider layering it with a waterproof outer shell. The water-repellent treatment may also diminish over time; consider reapplying a suitable fabric treatment if performance decreases.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. Ensure the zipper is clean; if debris is present, a soft brush can help. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Insulation feels less effective over time

Ensure the jacket is being cared for according to instructions. Avoid high heat drying or ironing, which can damage the CLIMASCOT® insulation. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce the loft and insulating properties of synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly and is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance.

Compatibility: While designed as workwear, its modern design and functionality make it suitable for various outdoor activities. It pairs well with work trousers, jeans, or other durable pants. As a mid-layer, it is compatible with various outer shells, provided they offer adequate room.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a coloured wash cycle. Use detergent suitable for coloured fabrics.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach. Avoid using any chlorine-based or oxygen-based bleach.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources to preserve the fabric and insulation.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the synthetic fibers and the water-repellent treatment.
  • Professional Care: If professional dry cleaning is necessary, use normal professional dry-cleaning agents (perchloroethylene, hydrocarbons).
