Northern Irish pride and team spirit

Modern Tyres from Northern Ireland

At Modern Tyres, MASCOT’s strongly branded workwear solution brings pride and a sense of team spirit to the crew. “The distinctive uniform reflects the Modern Tyres brand perfectly and their customers can quickly identify the professionalism of the business when they call at any branch,” says distributor Tailored Image. The high durability has been an important parameter for choosing MASCOT: “It's a tough job which requires tough kit to withstand the daily rigours of handling and fitting tyres."

Tested on an expedition in Chile

Participant in the "Ultima Patagonia" expedition in Chile

"It is actually very simple. Without the right clothing you are dead," says cave researcher and experienced expedition participant Natalia Morata. Natalie participated in the tough expedition "Ultima Patagonia" for which MASCOT supplied workwear. She and the other participants tried their hand at one of the most impassable and hostile terrains of the world. In total, 24 explorers with backgrounds as cavers, biologists, divers and geologists from France and Chile wore MASCOT’s workwear. The weather conditions were extreme in the latitudes where the expedition took place. With up to 10 meters of rainfall per year and wind speeds up to 120 km / h, the participants and MASCOT’s Workwear was Tested to Work.

At work on Australian TV

Brock and Scotty from the renovation company BH Elite, took part in Australia's most famous building program, The Block, whilst wearing MASCOT’s workwear. "When they asked us to go on TV, we knew we had to look professional. We wanted to make a great impression with both great work and a great appearance. Not only is everyone asking us about our MASCOT gear, but as we've heard many times before, we're finding it as tough as nails!"

Tested in the South American desert

Mechanics at work in South America during the Dakar Rally 2015

During the Dakar Rally, 420 different motorcycles, trucks and buggies sped through 9000 km of South American desert. During the Dakar Rally, The Dutch team, with Tim Coronel in the lead, wore MASCOT’s workwear. The mechanics are at work both day and night and under some very critical conditions. "It is essential for the mechanics that their clothing is comfortable and easy to work in," says Media Manager Martijn van Oort from The Dakar team. In South America, it is generally warm, but one can be faced with all kinds of weather. From the heat of the desert to the cold - sometimes even snow - in the mountains of Chile. In Argentina, it can be quite wet, so it is also important to have clothing that dries quickly. It is extremely demanding work, so clothing must also be durable. It is of course also important that our mechanics look presentable for sponsors. The Dakar Rally is televised throughout the world, and the mechanics are in the spotlight throughout the race.

Here is a photo from Norway which our Norwegian distributor, proffworkwear.no sent us. The image comes from the referendum Norgeshus Conference: 510 people, all working for and with Norway’s largest home builder association, and all of them are wearing MASCOT® Antas soft shell jacket.
