Product Information
Full details
The Mascot Advanced Thermal Jacket is designed for adults seeking a warm, durable, and functional outer layer for various work and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing excellent insulation without bulk, thanks to the unique CLIMascot technology, while remaining water-repellent and offering great freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may require additional protection.

FAQs
What is CLIMascot insulation?
CLIMascot is a lightweight, soft insulation material developed by Mascot. It provides excellent warmth without adding significant bulk and compresses easily for storage, making it ideal for versatile layering.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a fully waterproof outer jacket over it.
How do I wash the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket with colored items at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, and ironing. Professional dry-cleaning is also an option.
Can I wear this jacket as a mid-layer?
Yes, the lightweight and breathable nature of the CLIMascot insulation makes it an excellent mid-layer for added warmth under a waterproof shell in colder or wet conditions.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?
Water-repellent means the fabric has been treated to resist water penetration. Droplets will bead up and roll off the surface. However, it does not prevent water from eventually seeping through under sustained pressure or heavy saturation, unlike a waterproof garment.
Are the reflectors on the jacket durable?
The reflectors are integrated to enhance visibility. Like most reflective elements, their longevity can depend on care and wear, but they are designed to meet safety standards for workwear.
What is the fabric weight of this jacket?
The fabric weight is 240 g/m², which indicates a mid-weight material suitable for warmth and durability without being overly heavy.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels bulky despite CLIMascot insulation
Ensure the jacket is not overly compressed for long periods. CLIMascot is designed for warmth without bulk when worn correctly. If it still feels excessively bulky, check if it's the right size; a jacket that is too tight can sometimes alter the insulation's distribution.
Water is soaking through the fabric
This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended. The water-repellent finish may also degrade over time; consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can help smooth operation if it feels stiff.
Reduced freedom of movement
Confirm you are wearing the correct size. Check that the stretch fabric panels at the sides are not obstructed and that the ergonomically shaped sleeves are positioned correctly on your arms.
