Our Story

Before you buy

How should REEL SHIELD fit?

REEL SHIELD is the outer layer of the system, so size it for what you wear underneath. Each product page has a full size guide, and if you're between sizes, ask Mo & Fonger and we'll help you choose.

Is it fully waterproof?

Yes. Toray Dermizax® Protect Hybrid carries a 33,800 mm waterproof rating, with fully welded seams, YKK® AquaGuard® zippers and the ReelSEAL® dual wrist-cuff system.

Will I overheat in it?

Dermizax® Protect Hybrid is waterproof, windproof and breathable, so it lets moisture out while it keeps the weather off. Extreme protection that still breathes.
