MASCOT Workwear - Hardwear Brochure

At work in all kinds of weather Through the years, MASCOT has sent workwear to work all over the world in order to thoroughly test the clothing – even in extreme conditions and situations. And that is exactly the situation when Centre Terre sends an expedition off to one of the world’s most remote corners. The clothing will truly be put to the test. Extreme winds and heavy rain What should the clothes be able to withstand on such an expedition? Durability is of course important as the untouched landscapes in Patagonia, located more than 24 hours by boat from the closest port, have a lot of sharp and rough surfaces. But most of all, the clothes have to protect the participants against the weather. And that’s not easy in a climate where the wind regularly reaches over 52 knots in a storm and can often reach hurricane strength with 97 knots. During the expedition, they often experience over 80 mm of rain a day, and approximately 700 mm rain in one month. The expedition area receives an average annual rainfall of 8000 mm.
