Daiwa releases the best waterproof winter wear

A full range of features that seriously consider fishing, as you will see when you try it on

The two-layer material of GORE-TEX Products, which is reliable and guaranteed for its waterproof and moisture permeability, is worth choosing, but we are glad that the fabric is of a perfect thickness so that anglers will not feel any snagging at the grip end when jerking or handling the rod. Moreover, the fabric is not at all sticky, which can be a problem when the fabric is firm. This jacket has a large gusset on the back (the inside is made of a stretchy material) that does not interfere with casting or jigging. In other words, there is plenty of room in the fabric, so there is no feeling of sticking out, and the design is well handled.

Of course, not only is it waterproof and breathable, but it also has excellent “cold protection” performance. It goes without saying that thin and warm fabrics are excellent for fishing, and this has been achieved in an excellent manner. DANROTECH® cotton is used in the center of the back, where it is easy to feel cold, to keep body heat from escaping through far-infrared radiation. In addition, a windproof, breathable material made of aluminum and carbon is used as part of the lining to repel body heat and keep warm air from escaping, effectively keeping the body warm even on the coldest days.

It is also very functional during fishing. The underarms are black to prevent stains from rubbing against the rod ends. Watertight zipper pockets on the sides are placed in locations that are less likely to interfere with waist-type life jackets. Double sleeves to keep rain out. The hood can be worn without feeling stress, and there are a full range of features that contribute to fishing without being overdone.

The outer fabric is made of GORE-TEX Products, which is so well known for its excellent performance that it no longer needs to be explained.

The action pleats on the back of the fabric eliminate the feeling of the fabric sticking out when casting and jerking with the arms raised and when rod action and landing with the arms lowered.

Bib pants are appreciated in cold weather.

The Tech Boat Winter Bib Pants, sold separately from the jacket, are also full of features that anglers will appreciate. They are thin but warm. The outer fabric is made of the same two-layer GORE-TEX Products material as the jacket. The center of the back is made of DANROTECH® cotton, which efficiently keeps the body warm even on cold days.

The bib is a welcome addition to the jacket. Just having one layer of windproof fabric on the belly makes a big difference in how cold the internal organs get. For some reason, many anglers tend to have weak stomachs, but this will prevent them from having stomach problems. Of course, the bib design ensures that the pants are comfortable and do not slip down even during strenuous activity.

The best thing about pants is that they do not feel sticky when you walk. This model uses a material that combines ease of movement, warmth, and light weight under the knees. There are also pockets on the sides, thoughtfully positioned so that stored items do not hit the boat slips or when sitting down. The long W-fastener on the front can be conveniently opened and closed from the bottom as well.

The knee area is super stressful because if it sticks out, it interferes with all movement, but it doesn’t!

DANROTECH® cotton is used in the center of the back where you tend to feel cold. It efficiently keeps the body warm even on cold days.

The waist is crimp ribbed. This lightens the load on the shoulders with suspenders and reduces stiffness in the shoulders. Also, by tightening the waist, it is a beautiful design.

The side pockets are positioned in such a way that the stowed items do not come in contact with the boat slips when the hips are in contact with them.
