What exactly is functional clothing?
The world's best designers and textile engineers are producing advanced functional clothing, and the biggest military, sports and outdoor companies spend enormous sums developing new and innovative materials and technologies. After a while these technologies become available to a wider population and are used in the production of workwear and everyday clothing.
At their core, functional clothing must provide comfort and protection against external conditions. Depending on their purpose, such clothing can have a wide variety of functions: it retains or releases accumulated body heat, provides freedom of movement, feels pleasant to the touch, is durable and wear-resistant, environmentally friendly, can be recycled or biodegraded, and protects against precipitation and wind.
Clothing that meets one or more of these functions can be considered functional.
An ideal example is the Advanced short work trousers, by Mascot, which boast numerous features, plenty of freedom of movement and exceptional durability. MASCOT® ADVANCED is a type of workwear that gives you functional details, high wear resistance and superior comfort. Thanks to the light and extremely stretchy fabric, the work trousers are so comfortable that you will not want to take them off. MASCOT® ADVANCED is for everyone who needs a little more from their workwear and does not want to compromise on comfort or quality.
MASCOT® ADVANCED gives you exceptional freedom of movement. The products are designed for layering and withstand the challenges you meet during the working day. A particular advantage of MASCOT® ADVANCED products is that you get products that combine flexibility with high wear resistance and low weight. Workwear does not have to be stiff and heavy to last a long time.
Room for your tools
The trousers have plenty of room for all your tools. Pockets made of durable CORDURA® material are fully integrated into the design, which together with the stretch fabric means you can fill them without affecting your freedom of movement. The pockets are also attached with a zip, so you can easily remove them when not in use, when they need emptying or when the trousers need washing.
Designed for an optimal fit
Products from the ADVANCED series are designed with an optimal fit in mind. This design gives you not only an optimal fit but also optimal performance, as the trousers are ergonomically designed to distribute weight evenly. The result is clothing that you hardly feel you are wearing!
Fully stretchable fabric - experience truly unique freedom of movement
MASCOT® ADVANCED offers a wide range of trousers with the ULTIMATE STRETCH function, which gives you complete freedom in every movement. The Advanced short work trousers are no exception. This fabric gives you unique freedom of movement in which nothing feels restrictive or irritating. The multi-purpose fabric combines low weight with very high wear resistance. It is even water-repellent. Thanks to the soft back section and flexible fabric, these trousers feel like a second skin. The fabric wicks moisture outwards and breathes, so it is exceptionally comfortable even on hot summer days.
Many colours and sizes
Like all other products in the MASCOT® ADVANCED line, the Advanced short work trousers are available in various colours and sizes. You can choose from as many as six different colours and nineteen sizes - so you are sure to find shorts that fit you 100%.
