Professional Builder explores the latest in on-site apparel from Mascot.
Fleece jumpers
If you work outdoors in all sorts of weather then it is a good idea to dress yourself in layers. A good fleece jacket is a great alternative as the outer layer in the milder months and works perfectly as an insulating middle layer in winter. If you dress in layers correctly, you will be able to get rid of excess heat when working intensely and prevent your body from getting cold and wet when the activity level drops again. Mascot offers a new range of fleece jumpers in a flexible material with a stylish and smooth surface. Focusing on comfort and appearance, there’s a closer fit that ensures freedom of movement, whilst the smooth surface not only looks trendy, but also prevents dirt and dust from attaching to the product.
Comfort
The fleece jumper has a zip and an internal storm flap which prevents cold air from getting in, whilst high collars keep the neck warm and can be zipped up nice and tight. There’s also fleece jumpers with front pockets with zips and reflectors. The combination of a tight fit and a close fit around the wrists allow the product to follow the body’s movements without billowing or getting caught.
Designed for women and for men
The new fleece jumpers come in specially designed versions for both men and women and are part of the Mascot Accelerate range. The range consists of more than 70 new products in six different colours (black, dark anthracite, dark navy, azure blue, signal red and grass green). There are various specially designed versions of the fleece jumper; including a choice of long and short zip.

Outer Shell Jackets
The lightweight outer shell jackets within the new range are certified according to European standard as breathable, windproof and waterproof, and are available in different versions with fits for both men and women. By layering up in different combinations you’re guaranteed optimal protection in all weather conditions, and whether you need a moisture-wicking inner layer, an insulating middle layer or a wind and waterproof outer layer, you’ll find what you’re looking for with Mascot Accelerate.
The jackets have a close fit that sits tight against the skin and efficiently follow the movements of your body. If it is a particularly cold day, simply wear a jumper or a fleece jumper beneath the outer shell jacket for extra warmth. The jackets provide further protection against the cold through their zips and internal storm flaps which, prevent cold air from blowing up into the sleeves. Another important attribute is their certified breathability. Breathable jackets can help you get rid of excess heat while you work, preventing you from getting wet or sweaty.
Pockets and details
Smart features include a lined and detachable hood, fitted with an elastic drawstring for easy adjustment. Each jacket has an inner pocket, breast pocket and zipped front pockets, as well as a detachable ID card holder. There is also an elastic drawstring at the hem which can be used to adjust the product so that it sits nice and tight against the body. The sleeves are reinforced with Cordura fabric for increased wear resistance while integrated reflectors ensure that you remain visible.
These waterproof, lightweight outer shell jackets are available in three new two-tone colours (grass green/green, signal red/black and azure blue/dark navy) as well as in the classic colours (black, dark navy and dark anthracite/black). The jackets are also available in an even lighter versions (18011-249 & 18001-249) which are almost identical but water-repellent rather than completely waterproof.
