The lineup is so extensive that it's hard to keep your eyes open.
The Higashi Kurume Store has a full lineup of apparel among the Casting stores. The lineup includes a variety of new autumn and winter products, mainly from Daiwa. The main item on display was a winter suit for protection against the cold. This waterproof, padded suit allows anglers to enjoy fishing in the cold. The members of the group were quickly examining the items.
Mr. Hayashida uses "D-VEC," an apparel brand produced by Daiwa, for both fishing and everyday use. The vest he wears is a collaboration between "D-VEC" and "ALMOSTBLACK.
Hayashida: I often wear "Deebec," but Daiwa's inline wear has a more basic design and is easier to use. I think it is a design that can be worn on the street as well.
Ishii: Warmth and waterproofness are common, but each has different features, so I'm having a hard time. It is interesting that the details differ depending on the field of fishing.
Some models also feature field-specific features. For rock fishing, they have zippers that allow the floating vest and top to be integrated, and for boat fishing, which is prone to getting wet, they use PVC material that is both waterproof and durable. Most models share the same design features to reduce stress caused by rain, such as double cuffs to reduce water seepage from the sleeves and folded edges to prevent water from dripping through the hood.
Many different types of winter suits are available in the lineup, and each one is troubled by its own characteristics, such as material, coloring, and design. A wide range of sizes are available, up to 4XL for some models. Silhouettes tailored to the Japanese body shape are easy to wear.
Komatsu: With foreign brands, the length of the garment and sleeves can be too long, so it's the perfect size. The price is affordable, too, and I am amazed .
Daiwa's innovation is not limited to fishing tackle, but also extends to apparel. The "Air Inflatable Rain Jacket," which was introduced for the first time this season, does not use padding that loses heat retention when wet, but instead injects air into air chambers inside the garment to insulate it. This means that even when wading in the water, there is no need to worry about getting wet. The air chambers are removable, so the jacket can be worn in any season.
Ikemoto: It is innovative to insulate by injecting air through a valve. . Since no padding is used, it is lightweight and seems to be comfortable to wear.
There is also an extensive lineup of comfortable innerwear, including well-designed fleece and thin jackets made of functional materials. A full lineup of accessories such as gloves and hats is also well worth looking at.
