Introducing AFTCO Overboard shorts featuring an integrated waterproof / submersible roll-top pocket. Built to keep your valuables safe whether you are in or on the water, AFTCO’s new Overboard fishing shorts were developed to push the boundaries of technical fishing clothing innovation.

AFTCO believes in building products for the women who always out fish the men. It’s why they submitted the AFTCO Women’s Reaper into this year’s ICAST New Product Showcase to compete against the 100s of men’s apparel products.
Reaper delivers for the female angler with functional features like an integrated face / neck warmer, laser cut ventilation on mask / underarm, cinch cord hood anchoring system, Block Tapey pocket closure, hi / low position ponytail hood openings, AFGUARD stain release, DWR, mid-hip length and a toasty 100% poly bonded micro fleece fabric. No disrespect to your favorite cotton hoodie, but the AFTCO Reaper fleece hoodie will easily be a staple when things cool down and warmth is a necessity.
