(LS, XLS, 2XLS, 3XLS)
These are essentially based on ‘L’ or ‘XL’ sizes, with the vertical measurements (‘JKT’: jacket length and sleeve length; ‘PT’: front rise, back rise and inside leg length) being one size smaller, resulting in a shorter fit.
Example: For size LS… the width is the same as size L, whilst the length is equivalent to size M.

Basic Knowledge of Rainwear: Stay comfortable with three high-tech treatments: ‘water-repellent’, ‘waterproof’ and ‘breathable’!
■ What is the difference between ‘water-repellent’ and ‘waterproof’ treatments?
Although these two treatments may seem similar, they are actually based on significantly different technologies.
The materials used in rainwear feature a ‘water-repellent finish’, which causes water to bead up on the surface, and a ‘waterproof finish’, which prevents water from penetrating the inner layer.
‘Water-repellent treatment’ is applied to the surface of the outer fabric. This is achieved by creating protrusions on the outer fibres (fabrics) – known as ‘hydrophobic groups’ – which repel water, much like the surface of a lotus leaf. As these ‘hydrophobic group’ molecules are smaller than water molecules, they cause water to form beads, preventing it from soaking into the surface.

The structure of water-repellency
When water-repellency deteriorates…
These ‘water-repellent groups’ deteriorate when surface molecules are knocked down by friction or dirt. To restore this, it is important to gently hand-wash the garment thoroughly and dry it, thereby realigning the ‘water-repellent groups’.
By improving the wash durability of your rainwear’s water-repellency in this way, you can ensure that the comfort provided by this feature is sustained.

■Even if the surface ‘water-repellency’ diminishes, does the ‘waterproofing’ still remain!?
Separate from the ‘water-repellent finish’ on the surface, the ‘waterproof finish’ applied to the inner layer prevents water from penetrating to the skin.
Even if the water-repellent properties on the outer surface deteriorate due to friction or dirt, the waterproof function is maintained by high-tech waterproof membranes on the lining, such as ‘Gore-Tex®’ or ‘Rainmax®’.

‘breathable + waterproof’ materials were born.
‘Waterproofing’ becomes more comfortable when combined with ‘moisture-permeable’ properties. The technology to block water whilst allowing water vapour to pass through—a seemingly contradictory feat—has been realised through many years of functional development. A membrane surface that is both waterproof and moisture-permeable is achieved through techniques that make fluorine-based and polyurethane-based materials thinner, combined with processing techniques that apply them via lamination or coating to create a soft finish.

2. Fasten all fasteners.
Secure the Velcro on the cuffs lightly whilst they are fully extended.
Loosen the drawcord as much as possible before hand-washing.
Use a household liquid synthetic detergent in a quantity slightly less than the recommended amount. Once rinsing is complete, drain off the water and hang to dry in the shade. Ensure the garment is completely dry.
* Do not use fabric softener, fragrance additives or bleach.
* As residual detergent can reduce water repellency, please rinse thoroughly.

<WHAT is waterproofing? What is water-repellency?>
Although the terms ‘water-repellent’ and ‘waterproof’ are often used interchangeably, their mechanisms are actually very different.
‘Water-repellent treatment’ refers to a process that causes the fabric surface to repel water. This is mainly achieved by using a chemical agent (water-repellent agent) to create protrusions on the fabric surface—known as ‘water-repellent groups’—which repel water (this works on the same principle as the fine hairs on the surface of a lotus leaf that repel water).
On the other hand, ‘waterproofing’ refers to structurally treating the garment to prevent water droplets from penetrating the fabric. This is achieved by bonding a waterproof film to the reverse side of the fabric or applying seam tape to the seams to prevent water ingress, thereby keeping the inside of the garment dry.

<DECLINE in Water-Repellency>
As garments are worn repeatedly, the water-repellency of the surface may deteriorate.
Water-repellent treatments degrade as the surface molecules (hydrophobic groups) are knocked down by friction or dirt, making it harder for the fabric to repel water.
Drying the garment thoroughly after washing allows the water-repellent groups to realign, restoring the water-repellent performance and reversing the deterioration.
(However, if the water-repellent agent itself has been worn away due to external damage such as friction, washing and drying alone will not restore the water-repellent performance. In such cases, we recommend applying a water-repellent spray.)

<AGE-related deterioration (water seepage)>
With repeated use, not only does the surface cease to repel water, but water may also pass through the fabric and seep into the garment.
The main causes are thought to be the deterioration of the breathable waterproof film and the seam tape. Breathable waterproof films containing polyurethane gradually deteriorate (hydrolyse) due to UV light and moisture, resulting in ‘water leakage’ where water passes through the fabric.
Generally, the lifespan of polyurethane-based films is said to be 2–3 years on average; however, the rate of deterioration accelerates if the garment is stored whilst still wet after a fishing trip, or if it suffers damage from abrasion.
On the other hand, GORE-TEX breathable waterproof films, which do not contain polyurethane, do not suffer from the deterioration described above; their lifespan is said to be virtually indefinite, and they are renowned for their durability.

<STORAGE Methods>
For all waterproof garments, the most ideal storage method—one that causes no damage to the garment—is ‘hanging’.
The smaller you fold the garment, the more likely it is to suffer damage from creasing; furthermore, storing it in a chest of drawers can trap moisture, which accelerates hydrolysis.
The key to making your garment last is to gently wash away any dirt after wearing, air-dry it in the shade, and once dry, hang it on a hanger in a place where moisture is unlikely to accumulate, such as a wardrobe.

Frequently Asked Questions
To what extent can the garments be repaired?
We can repair fabric tears, frayed lines, fasteners and press studs, as well as provide dry cleaning and re-water-repellent treatments.
Please see the After-Sales Service page below.
How should I store rainwear and winter clothing?
1. Please avoid storing items in hot and humid conditions, such as in a car boot.
2. Please do not store the garments as they are after use (i.e. whilst they are still dirty or wet).
3. We recommend storing the items in a well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
4. Please avoid storing the items for long periods whilst folded into small sections, as this can cause the creases to deteriorate.
Please tell me how to care for polarised sunglasses.
1. When cleaning the lenses, hold the outer surface of the lens you are wiping. Wiping with excessive force may cause the frame to lose its shape or lead to breakage due to material deterioration. Rubbing the lenses with anything other than the lens cleaning cloth provided may cause scratches or the surface coating to peel off.
2. After use, wipe off any moisture with the dedicated cleaning cloth supplied with the product, and allow the glasses to dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated, shaded area before storing them. Storing them whilst wet may reduce their polarised function or damage the lenses. After use, ensure they are completely dry and store them in a dry place. If the dedicated cloth becomes dirty, please wash it with water or similar to keep it clean.
Can the auto-inflating cartridge be replaced?
You will need to contact your local fishing tackle shop to order replacement parts or arrange for a manufacturer’s repair. Replacement is recommended every one to three years.
