Product Information
Full details
The Mascot Advanced Thermal Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a warm, water-repellent, and breathable outer layer for work or outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing exceptional warmth without bulk, thanks to CLIMascot Lightweight Insulation. A potential caveat is its unisex sizing, which may require careful fitting for a precise personal preference, although it is marketed towards men.

FAQs
What is CLIMascot insulation?
CLIMascot is a lightweight, soft insulation material used by Mascot. It provides warmth without adding significant bulk and compresses easily, making it ideal for active wear and as a middle layer.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart, paying attention to measurements for chest, waist, and sleeve length. The jacket is designed for a comfortable fit that allows for layering, but consider your preferred fit (e.g., snug vs. relaxed).
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof garment would be more appropriate.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, the jacket provides good warmth. For extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer a warm base layer and potentially an insulating mid-layer underneath.
How should I clean the jacket?
The jacket can be machine washed with coloured wash at 40°C. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Follow the specific care label instructions.
Are the reflective elements durable?
The reflective elements are integrated into the jacket's design for increased visibility. Like any garment feature, their longevity depends on proper care and washing according to the manufacturer's instructions.
What does 'two-toned' refer to?
The 'two-toned' description indicates that the jacket features two distinct colours in its design, typically for aesthetic appeal and sometimes to highlight specific panels or features.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or snagging
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Gently run a graphite pencil tip or a bit of lip balm along the teeth to lubricate. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Water repellency seems reduced
Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for polyester fabrics after washing and drying according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede water repellency.
Jacket feels bulky
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If the insulation feels compressed, allow it to air out. The CLIMascot insulation is designed to be lightweight, so bulk is minimal by design.
Drawstring at collar or waist is loose
Check the stopper mechanism on the drawstring. If it's not holding, re-tie the knot securely or inspect the stopper for damage.
