Game vest with BOA® Fit System size adjustment and ventilation function

This game vest uses the BOA® Fit System, making it easy to put on and take off and providing a comfortable fit. It also has a ventilation function that is great for hot weather.

Excellent ventilation structure for comfortable summer fishing

Even if you are wearing functional clothing that makes you feel cool, the effect is diminished if you wear a floating vest surrounded by thick buoyancy. To overcome this dilemma, the Act Game Vest incorporates a mechanism to increase breathability.

The back lining, which has a large contact surface, is made of mesh fabric to improve breathability, and the side holes and the structure that allows air to be taken in through the armpits and released through the shoulders create air passages throughout the entire vest. Furthermore, by combining this with Shimano's patented technology of creating air holes in the buoyancy body, heat is no longer trapped inside the vest itself.

BOA® Fit System allows for one-handed size adjustment

The BOA® Fit System is installed on the side, which allows you to adjust the tightness by turning the dial and loosen it all at once by pulling the dial lock. You can easily adjust the fit even after changing layers while fishing, which is common in seasons with large temperature differences. In terms of expandability, by using the internal side harness in combination, you can eliminate the crotch belt, creating ease of movement and a clean style.

Act Concept Buoyancy Design

* The product in the image is not a new production item.

The buoyancy body was designed based on an ergonomic analysis of the angler's movements. The thickness of the front buoyancy body is changed into seven parts on both the left and right sides to reduce protrusions to the front.

Plenty of pockets so you don't need a bag

*The product in the image is not a new production item.

The main pocket on the waist is large enough to store lures in their cases. There is a pliers holder on the inside (right) and a tape mount on the outside where you can temporarily place tools.

There is a removable pouch on the left shoulder. At the base of the right shoulder loop is a dust pocket with a narrow opening that can be accessed without opening or closing the zipper. You can quickly store unnecessary trash such as lint from making knots.

Place large items or items that you won't be using right away on the back

*The product in the image is not a new production item.

The back of the bag is a backpack that can hold spare lure cases and food. The bottom, which is prone to wear, is made of durable tarpaulin material, and it also has a built-in zippered bottle holder. In addition, the inner pocket is positioned higher than the waterline, so you can store your keys and other items without getting them wet even when you are in the water.

CS mark certified for safety and high drainage

*The product in the image is not a new production item.

All of our vests are CS certified and reliable. This product meets the L2 standard for a buoyancy of 7.5kg or more, so it can be used not only on the coast but also on rocky shores and offshore breakwaters. We also pay attention to safety, and have taken into consideration not only buoyancy but also floating posture. We have balanced the front and back of the buoyancy device so that the wearer can breathe in a firm, supine position even if they lose consciousness.

We have designed the glove to be not only easy to use, but also highly functional as protective gear, with drainage holes in various parts of the glove, including the main body and pockets, so that water can drain quickly when landing.

Equipped with BOA® fit system

The dial allows for quick attachment and detachment, and each unique structure is designed to ensure a smooth and precise fit.

Features

BOA® FIT SYSTEM

Bottle holder

The bottom of the backpack is equipped with a bottle holder. This is the only part that has a large zipper handle that makes it easy to operate blindly.

Tool Rest

There is a belt loop above the front pocket for temporarily placing tools.

Pouch included

The pouch attached to the shoulder strap is made of a flexible material and can be removed and attached to the belt loops on the side or back. Use it to store frequently used accessories, cell phones, sunscreen, etc.

Dust pocket

It has a dust pocket for storing lint, etc. It is a flat type that does not get in the way even if you attach a pouch, etc.

Highly durable bottom fabric

The bottom surface, which is prone to rubbing, is made of highly durable TPU fabric.

A vest that comes in three sizes

All of our game vests are free size, but this product is available in three sizes: M, L, and XL. The maximum waist width is 124cm for M, 134cm for L, and 149cm for XL, so you can enjoy a more comfortable fit by selecting the size that suits your body type.

Technology


BOA® FIT SYSTEM
Quick, effortless, precise fit
The system is made up of three essential parts: a finely adjustable dial, high-strength, lightweight laces, and low-friction lace guides. The dial allows for quick fastening and unfastening, and each unique structure is designed to provide a smooth, precise fit.
* BOA® is a registered trademark of BOA Technology, Inc.


Water repellent
Repels water from the surface, reducing its penetration into the fabric
This product has a special treatment that repels water on the surface of the fabric in the form of droplets, reducing the amount of water that seeps into the fabric. Unlike waterproofing, if water hits the fabric forcefully or if you sit on a wet surface, the water will seep through the fabric to the back.
