Make your daily life more comfortable. DAIWA’s new “DAIWA 247” series has finally made its debut.

Now that I have a bit more free time, I’d like to try something new. When that happens, fishing—which is fun whether you’re alone or with a group—is definitely one option that comes to mind. That said, I can’t exactly go out and buy expensive gear right away, so I’d like to start by getting some affordable essentials and enjoy it at my own pace. So, let’s try thinking about this a little differently.

This time, I’d like to recommend the newly launched “DAIWA 247This product line is part of the “Weather-Ready Wear for better 247” series. Under this concept, Daiwa has incorporated the experience, expertise, and technology it has cultivated over the years into everyday wear, aiming to offer a more comfortable lifestyle. In other words, the core of this line is not fishing wear, but lifestyle wear.

This landmark first collection features an all-weather apparel lineup designed to withstand the harsh conditions of fishing, incorporating patterns inspired by the smooth, fluid movements unique to the sport. Every piece is designed to spark an interest in fishing, but a major highlight of the collection is the collaboration-driven reissue of the “RIVER WALKER” by DANNER—widely recognized as the world’s first boot to feature GORE-TEX.

DANNER RIVER WALKER LOW ¥54,450

While "RIVER WALKER" has its roots in wading shoes designed for fishing by the water, this model features an all-black color scheme to suit urban lifestyles. Additionally, details symbolizing the collaboration—such as the embossed logo on the heels of each shoe—are incorporated throughout, creating a very appealing look.

From the Inline line, the “GORE-TEX 2L SHELL JACKET,” which combines sophisticated design with superior functionality, the “PERTEX COMBI UP SHELL JACKET” and "COMBI-UP VEST," featuring the "Combi-Up System" that ensures a stable fit even during active pursuits; and the entry-level "RAINMAX 2L SHELL JACKET," which utilizes the proprietary "RAINMAX" material.

Since the skills you need for fishing are also very useful in everyday life, why not start by discovering the joy of fishing in your daily routine?

PERTEX COMBI UP SHELL JACKET ¥ 35,750

Another major appeal of "DAIWA 247" is its reasonable pricing. Sales will begin sequentially at authorized retailers nationwide, including the "DAIWA 247" online store—which opened at the time of the launch—and "DAIWA UMEDA HANKYU," so if you're interested, it's a good idea to check back regularly.
