NEWS: The second installment in the crowdfunded Kajimake "PIRARUCU Rain Shaker" series. This time, it's a raincoat you can wear while wearing a backpack

PIRARUCU Rain Shaker," a rainwear item that was introduced on this website at the end of last year and features a "rotating hood with visor" that allows for an exceptionally wide and clear field of vision , ended up receiving support from over 1,300 people on the crowdfunding site "Makuake" and was a great success.

Then, on Friday, May 29th, just before the rainy season, a new lineup was released in the Rain Shaker series, and a Makuake project was quickly launched. This time, it's the " PIRARUCU Bag-in Coat ," a raincoat-type item that's easier to use for business and everyday use. I'm sure there are many people who have been secretly waiting for this.

A business and travel raincoat with an innovative hood that can be worn over a backpack. The rotating hood and dedicated rain visor still boast a wide field of view and comfort

The new Bag-in-Coat retains the iconic features of the Rain Shaker series: a rotating hood and dedicated rain visor. Building on this feature, which was a popular request from supporters of the first model, that are more suited to business, walking around town, and travel . While this naturally ensures safety and comfort when cycling, while the previous model was a versatile model suited to all-around activities, this new model is packed with convenient and enjoyable features for commuting and everyday use.

Let's review the core features of the Rain Shaker series: the rotating hood and the connecting short visor. The rotating hood, developed independently using patented technology, separates the hood from the body and connects them with a resin guide rail (see photo below), completely eliminating twisting when you turn your head, allowing you to maintain the same wide field of view as when not wearing the hood, even when you turn your head from side to side

Furthermore, it eliminates the feeling of tightness of the clothing when moving your neck, so you can always feel comfortable from the neck up. Of course, the connecting part is covered from above, so it is almost impossible for rain to blow in from here

The removable short rain visor prevents rain from blowing in and provides a clear view. Even when leaning forward and facing forward, raindrops won't get on your glasses, making it an indispensable item for cycling on rainy days. By the way, this visor blocks 90% of UV rays

A coat-length style perfect for everyday wear

The long coat-length style is perfect for everyday use in the city, and can be worn with a suit for business casual or everyday wear. The sophisticated design also matches elegant styles

Back bag storage function for convenient cycling and travel

Another thoughtful feature of this rainwear is that it is designed to be put in a bag, meaning you can quickly put on your coat even while wearing your backpack

Even if your bag isn't waterproof, you can wear this and rest assured that you won't get wet

It's surprisingly inconspicuous when worn over other clothing, which is great for those who commute by bicycle

When you're not wearing the backpack, you can close it with the snap buttons for a neat and tidy look

The care taken to make the product is evident everywhere, even more than the price would suggest

Although the lining is two-layered, it is coated with a finely textured coating, making it less likely to stick

Other than that, the basic functions of rainwear are in place, and it seems like there will be no complaints about its usability. If I were to be greedy, I would have preferred zippers on the left and right hand pockets rather than just flaps

summary

If you want to completely shut out the rain, a top and bottom set is best, but if you're cycling in light rain on a daily basis, a coat type is perfectly acceptable. If you're interested in the "PIRARUCU Bag-in Coat," a great value raincoat packed with features and ideas that make commuting, school, and travelling in the rain more comfortable, it's packed with functionality and features that make it a great value for money raincoat.
