Rain, wind or heat. Long days and hard work. When your working conditions change, your workwear needs to keep up. This is where MASCOT® WORKWEAR’s products and the layer-on-layer principle make all the difference.
The right clothing keeps you dry, warm and protected. Not only against the weather, but also against the challenges of the workday.
It’s not good enough to just have workwear and safety footwear products that are designed for your needs and requirements, they also need to be Tested to Work.
At MASCOT, we develop workwear for professionals working in all kinds of conditions. We start with your needs, your environment and your movements. This means that nothing is random – every seam, zipper and fabric quality is selected, tested and fine-tuned through months of development.
When we say Tested to Work, we mean it. Our products are tested in the lab and in real life – by real craftsmen in their daily work. That’s how we know our workwear works. In all kinds of weather. In all work situations.
Layer 1: Stay dry
For the workwear closest to your body, you need a layer that wicks away sweat so you don’t get cold and damp. Our base layers are made from stretchy, moisture-wicking materials that follow your movements and keep your body dry – even during physically demanding jobs.
If it’s a base layer you are looking for the MASCOT® CROSSOVER 20482-786 T-shirt is the perfect option. This T-shirt is made from 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester and comes in 17 colours, so you are sure to find one to match your business needs or personal style. The organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals and the recycled polyester is made from collected and recycled plastic. The fabric dries quickly and retains its colour and shape after every wash. Additionally, the fabric has high wear resistance meaning it made to last longer.
Layer 2: Keep warm
The insulating mid-layer must be able to keep you warm without constricting or restricting your movements. It is crucial that the material is both insulating and breathable. Many of our mid-layers are made with CLIMASCOT® Lightweight Insulation, which is designed to be highly insulating, lightweight, and give you maximum freedom of movement.
A perfect mid-layer to try is the MASCOT® ACCELERATE 18101-511 which comes in 6 colours. The ultimate stretch material makes the jackets elastic in all directions, giving you a unique freedom of movement and comfort as you work. The material is lightweight, water-repellent and is fastened with a zip and internal storm flap, so the wind is kept out. This makes it durable and comfortable to wear in the wetter seasons. It also has reflectors on the arms for visibility at night or in the early mornings.
Layer 3: Protect yourself from wind and weather
The outer layer is your first line of defence against rain, wind, and snow. Many of our jackets are designed to be windproof and waterproof – but still breathable. This is important because moisture from the inside can be just as troublesome as moisture from the outside. Depending on your needs, you can choose between waterproof and water-repellent models, all developed with wear resistance, flexibility and functionality in mind.
Try the MASCOT® ACCELERATE 18301-231 Outer Shell Jacket. You are still very likely to sweat under your jacket during winter as you work and sweat can get trapped and make you uncomfortable. The 18301-231 jacket is breathable, allowing you to get rid of moisture so you don’t become damp. It is also wind and waterproof to protect you from the elements and includes reflectors for safety. The zip fastener has a double storm flap to provide extra protection against bad weather and a detachable lined hood with adjustable elastic drawstring for you to add or remove as you see fit. A bonus is the ribbed cuffs which stay close to your wrists to keep the cold out. It also follows your movement, so the sleeves don’t hinder your work by getting in the way.

One of MASCOT® WORKWEAR’s greatest strengths is the possibilities to mix and match at all levels.
