Summer has arrived in Japan!
This is the season when the scorching sun shines down on us, and it becomes difficult to regulate our body temperature.
Perhaps the fishing environment is becoming even harsher?
“RF MOON-TECH® T-Shirts”, which embody the “ideals” of extreme fishing anglers, will be on sale from July!
What is “MOON-TECH®“?
This material incorporates space technology (high-level deodorizing and stain-resistant functions) developed to make life in the extreme environment of outer space more comfortable. It is the latest cutting-edge technology material developed by MOONRAKERS, a spin-off venture from Toray, and combines “excessive functionality, convenience, and tough durability.”
Quick-drying and UV protection are features commonly found in dry T-shirts (Synthetic T-shirts) used in fishing situations, but the greatest feature of the “RF Moon Tech® T-shirt” is that it achieves each of these functions at a high level.
【3 features that RF staff are paying attention to】
Here are three features that our staff found particularly interesting when wearing the “RF Moon Tech® T-shirt” while fishing.
●Sweat absorbing and quick drying
The primary drawback of a typical dry T-shirt is that when worn in areas with poor ventilation, it adheres to the body during sweating, which can be quite uncomfortable for many people.
The RF Moontech® T-shirt is best described as “the comfort of cotton with the quick-drying properties of a dry T-shirt.” It has excellent sweat absorption properties and dries quickly, allowing you to wear it comfortably even in places with poor ventilation without feeling sticky.
●Deodorant
Astronauts staying on the International Space Station can only change their clothes so often, let alone do laundry.
That’s why we developed the ultra-powerful deodorizing technology featured in the RF Moontech® T-shirt.
The deodorizing function specializes in “ammonia odor, the main component of sweat odor,” and has a powerful deodorizing effect.
However, please note that it does not work on “trimethylamine, aldehyde, ketone, and hexanol,” which are believed to cause fish odor.
●Antifouling
When fishing for bonito or tuna, if fish blood gets on a white T-shirt, it will remain brown no matter how many times you wash it. However, this T-shirt can have some of the blood stains removed by rinsing it with water or washing it.
Additionally, when casting or jigging, friction between the EVA and the T-shirt, caused by holding the rod under your arm, can cause tiny particles to enter the gaps between the fibers, resulting in the underarm area turning black.
However, EVA stains on the RF Moontech® T-shirt do not easily adhere to the Fabric, and some of the stains can be removed by washing.
Although it is not possible to completely remove blood or EVA stains, depending on the conditions and environment, the big difference from regular T-shirts is the high performance that surprised the staff who tried them on.
