BOA® Fit System
The BOA® Fit System makes it easy to put on and take off, and adjust the sides. The dial is covered with a cover to reduce the risk of sand getting caught.
Swing Access
The storage on the back is now easier to access. A buckle has been added to the bottom to improve stability when in use. The backpack is removable.
*The vest in the video is the VF-036V.
Back storage pocket
In addition to the detachable backpack, there is also a storage pocket on the back of the main body.
Stand/Grip Holder
A surf stand or fish grip can be attached to the bottom of the back.
Waist support pad
The waistband comes with a removable support pad to distribute the load and reduce the strain on the body.
Chest sub-pocket
The sub-pocket on the chest is large enough to hold a spa scissors or a leader. On the outside, there is a glove rest and patch holder.
Molle System
You can attach a pouch or other items to the side of the left pocket.
*The pouch in the image (BP-071S) is sold separately.

Mitsuya Hotta
The Surf Tripper Vest is a piece of clothing that incorporates many ideas to make surf fishing comfortable. The new version has been updated in various parts while retaining the good parts of the previous version. I was particularly particular about the storage capacity. In a vast surf area, it is difficult to get back to your car once you enter. I designed the size and placement of the pockets so that you can store all the equipment you need for fishing.
The most symbolic feature of this is the detachable backpack on the back. I keep my wallet, car keys and other valuables in there, but it's also convenient for storing plastic bags for keeping your catch, knives, drinks, rice balls and so on.
As a vest, it is designed specifically for surf fishing, with a short length that does not get in the way when wading, and buoyancy material placed so that it does not take up much space even when worn over cold weather clothing.
The Surf Tripper Vest can hold everything you need, and is functional. Its ample storage capacity makes it truly a "wearable daypack."

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.

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.
