A vest made on-site at Rock Shore, with a focus on mobility and storage capacity.

This vest is designed to not hinder movement or operation on rock shores. The removable pillow not only protects the neck, but has also evolved to be able to fold up so that the hood of the jacket can be easily stored. The buoyancy material is arranged with the sides open wide, allowing for ease of movement and breathability. The pockets are made of elastic material to prevent protrusion and ensure visibility. The inside of the pockets are equipped with a jig holder and lure rotation case so that you can respond to any momentary opportunity. This concept vest is packed with features that combine mobility and storage capacity.

Key Feature

Detachable pillow

The pillow has been foldable so that the hood fits in better when wearing the jacket. In normal mode, the pillow stands up to protect the neck. Of course, it can be removed. It can be used in 3 ways: ① Normal → ② Folded → ③ Removed.

Ventilation System

This ventilation system provides increased comfort thanks to the back mesh which improves breathability and the clearance design of the buoyancy material.

Flat pocket

The upper part of the main pocket is made of elastic material, so it is thin when not in use and protrudes minimally when in use. It also fits the box it is stored in, preventing it from rattling.

Easy Side Adjust

Easy adjustment is used on the sides. In addition, the fit has been improved by two-point fastening of the waist belt. The fit can be easily adjusted by pulling the side belt to the front. The excess tape can be fastened to the rear, so it does not hit the arms and looks smart.

Grip Holder

The bottom back of the case is equipped with a grip holder. A string is threaded through both sides of the D-ring, and the position is adjusted so that it is easy to hold with the grip.

Molle System

The side and back are equipped with a MOLLE system, allowing you to attach pouches and other small items according to your needs.

Tool Rest

There is a belt loop above the front pocket where you can temporarily place tools.

Jig Rotation Mount

Equipped with a holder that can store jigs directly inside the pockets on both sides. The upper band is made of rubber to prevent the jig from moving. The lower band is closed with PP tape to prevent the jig from poking through the pocket.

Anti-slip on both shoulders

At Rockshore, you may travel several kilometers along rocky shorelines with a backpack or a shoulder bag on your shoulder. To prevent your luggage from slipping, the bag has anti-slip pads on both shoulders.

Lure Rotation Case

A dedicated lure case is attached to one side of the main pocket. You can quickly change lures even in the most opportune moment. (There are drainage holes at the bottom of the pocket and the bottom of the case.)

New buoyancy design

The placement of buoyancy material has been redesigned and concentrated in the front and back of the body. By not placing it on the sides, we have taken care not to restrict arm movement when casting or running.

Zipper pull for easy opening and closing even when wearing gloves

The zipper pull is large enough that you can easily hook your fingers even when wearing gloves. We paid particular attention to making it easy to open and close.

Chest pocket for storing small items

There are easily accessible pockets on both the left and right chest for storing small items.

Glove rest

Located at the bottom front of the right hip pocket
