Street Characters Exclusive 12-step
Ergonomics: human factors incorporated
into engineering & design.
Mascot Ergonomics: ergonomic, safety, durability and comfort
considerations for human performers inside of wildly creative
costumes while doing high-performance mascot stunts.
|

1. Design Practicality Test
An important check: to make sure that the creative design
does not impose any practical limitations... such as a mascot
head that is too large to fit through doorways, or a fabric
that is too hot for warm climates.
|
| |
2. Integrated Footing™
Another
Street Characters exclusive: footing built right into the Mascot
Costume. Why leave crucial elements like stability and gripping on
varying surfaces to chance? Our specially-selected performance footwear
is integrated right into your Mascot Costume.
|
| |
3. Mascot Crash-testing™
This
is an important safety element to eliminate any potentially dangerous
protrusions within the Mascot costume in the event of a fall or
over-enthusiastic fans mobbing a performer.
|
| |
4. Mascot Ingress & Egress
Enjoy
the convenience of being able put on and take off a Mascot Costume by
yourself without requiring an assistant. Plus enjoy the safety of
knowing you can get out quickly should an emergency situation arise.
|
| |
5. Mascot Vision™
Years
of experience have enabled us to perfect a vision system that enhances
your safety and performance without compromising the appearance and
illusion of the mascot character.
|
| |
6. Mascot Mobility™
Our
extensive experience gives your costume the important flexibility you
need to better perform stunts and interact with audiences while
maintaining a high comfort level. The President of Street Characters
spent many years as an NHL mascot, and we understand that a
high-performance mascot must have unencumbered body movements.
|
| |
7. Operation Lightweight
Our
proprietary manufacturing process gives you the strongest and lightest
weight head and body components available. Less weight means less
fatigue and fewer things like neck pain. This in turn means better
performing mascots.
|
| |
8. Head Superiority
Nobody
in the world makes a better Mascot head than Street Characters. They
breathe better, they are more responsive to head movements of the
performer, they have better ventilation, they have better vision, and
are safer to use. Very compelling reasons.
|
| |
9. Mascot Venting System™
Having been pro mascots ourselves, we know the importance
of proper venting systems. Helps ensure the performer doesn't
get too hot.
|
| |
10. Moisture Resistant Materials
Actually
wicks the perspiration away from the performers body. The performer
feels better and the outfit does not get all sweaty. Plus the costume
is easier to maintain & clean: most of which can be done in-house.
Avoid expensive dry-cleaning and repair bills
|
| |
11. The Material Breathes
Using material that breathes helps the performer and makes
sure the outfit does not get damp, thus helping to avoid
mildew and material rotting.
|
| |
12. Versatility
With
our expertise, we are able to make our Mascot costumes adjustable so
that they can fit a wide range of performers without sacrificing any of
the close fit necessary for performance.
