MASCOT Workwear
MASCOT uses a series of symbols in relation to the workwear in order to provide you with a quick overview of the workwear’s special properties. Here, you can get information about what the various symbols stand for.
Ultimate Stretch
MASCOT products with this symbol is made with four-way stretch. The stretch material is flexible in all directions giving you an extraordinary freedom of movement. MASCOT products with four-way stretch are soft and comfortable to wear and follows your every move providing extra comfort on the work day.
Breathable
Breathability in waterproof/water-repellent clothing is especially important when you sweat while working in cold environments. If you do not get rid of the moisture, there is a great risk that your wet clothes will get cold and you will freeze as a result.
Moisture wicking
Most fabrics can absorb sweat, but some materials can do more than that – particularly, transport sweat away from your body so you do not experience wet and cold to your innermost layer. A moisture-wicking innermost layer is crucial.
Quick drying
An important characteristic of moisture wicking clothing is that it also dries quickly. If moisture is allowed to remain on the fabric there is the danger that it could freeze and subsequently lead to hypothermia. With the combination of moisture-wicking technology and quick-drying material, you are assured of maximum comfort regardless of your activity level.
Windproof
When your clothing is windproof you hold heat more easily. Choose products with this symbol when you don’t want the wind to bother your everyday comfort.
Waterproof
100%. This symbol is your assurance that MASCOT does not allow as much as a single drop of water penetration. Zippers are waterproof and seams are taped on the back.
Water-repellent
Clothes carrying this symbol are made of waterproof material. However, it is not possible to put tape on the back of the seams of certain fabrics. Therefore the product cannot be classified as being entirely 100% waterproof, just water-repellent.
Insulating
This symbol on clothing indicates that you have a product that helps to keep you warm when the surroundings are cool.
Stain resistant
Your fluorescent clothing keeps you visible, but it must be kept clean to be seen, which is not always easy. MASCOT helps to keep your clothing dirt free with a stain-resistant treatment. When your clothes are stain resistant, you will be more visible and therefore safer for longer.
Ergonomic fit
All of MASCOT’s clothes are, of course, designed for movement. But if you have a particular need for clothing that supports, assists and just plain fits, in all body positions, then go for the ergonomic fit.
Kneepad pockets
If you already use kneepads, then you know how important comfort is in your workday. MASCOT’s kneepad pocket design ensures that the kneepads sit perfectly every time you kneel.
Holster pockets
An indispensable feature for anyone using nails, screws and bits. Select a version with magnets at the top so you do not have to dig down into your pocket every time you need to grab something. Holster Pockets can also be purchased separately.
Lightweight
The symbol indicates that the workwear is light in weight. The garment remains highly durable. You should choose products carrying this symbol if you want durable workwear in a light fabric, for example if you work indoors and/or in hot environments.
Triple Seams
Triple stitched seams are your guarantee for high wear resistance. MASCOT places them on your clothes most exposed areas, such as the shoulders and the outside and inside of the leg, prolonging the wearability of your clothing.
Reflective
Small reflective strips on your clothing can be crucial to your safety. Regardless of where you work, you will occasionally be near traffic. In this environment, reflectivity increases your chance of being seen.
Seamless
This symbol can be found in clothing without side seams. Such clothing is normally worn as the innermost layer, i.e. garments closest to the body. Clothes without side seams are extra comfortable to wear – there are no seams or sewn-in labels that can annoy or scratch.
Classic fit
Select products with the Classic Fit symbol if you are looking for products with extra width. The products with Classic Fit are the most spacious in the MASCOT range.
Modern fit
Most of MASCOT models have a normal, comfortable workwear fit. Recently, we have experienced a higher demand for a slimmer fit. Look for this symbol, if you require clothing to sit a little closer to the body.
Slim fit
If you are fond of products with a body conscious fit, choose Slim Fit products. The clothing fits close to the body and moves with you.
Ladies Fit
Products with this symbol are designed according to MASCOT’s ladies fit. The clothing gives you a comfortable and thoroughly tested fit with great freedom of movement.
For improved fit
Special left and right socks which are contoured for improved fit
