Skwala Carbon Wader Review I - Size L // Gear Review 

Ok same size, I'm wearing leggings under my Medium and love this fit. I hear ya on moving, snug getting on but once on there isn't a bunch of baggy material. I'm still going strong on mine ZERO leaks. I have the size L to our head guide shortly after this video and they've been bulletproof for him.

Paul, I would try these on with a tight-fitting base layer. I am loving the medium, but I wear a true "base layer" without baggy pants. I wouldn't like a LS. These waders when worn with a tight fitting base breathe amazing and it's like wearing gore-tex pants rather than stuffy waders.

Jim, these are awesome. I don't currently have a set but these our awesome. redsflyfishing.com/products/simms-ms-freestone-wading-pant

32" - I'm right in between the M and the L, it's a bit on the long side for me but a better fit overall.

Service is going to be outstanding, small company and all repairs are in Bozeman, MT. They will only allow a max of 50 dealers in order to maintain strong customer relations. They have a loose "warranty" and stand behind their product. They will replace or repair any defects, and if you are unhappy within 30 days of purchase... return it. Knowing the owner/operator, you're in good hands.

New. The crew there has a history in other top end brands in the hunting, fishing, and mountaineering space. Spun off to something more fly focused.

I think for anglers doing lots of walking, cold mornings/cold water these are the best. If I had to limit myself to (1) set of waders it would be the BackEddy.

Oh there is one thing I don't mess with and that is marginal waders haha. Very few things can get me down, but if I am going to fish long days.... I have to stay dry. 😀

Well ok sure. You have a point. I share what gear I use and why. I've done the research, taken it to the water, and here are my thoughts. That's a review. I'm not wasting my time using a bunch of gear that didn't interest me to begin with. That's a giant waste of time.

I don't know anybody else who tests the amount of good gear that Joe does, I'm sure he is a busy guy and doesn't have time to waste on telling us what gear is "bad". From what I see, Red's sells only gear that they like and fish and can stand behind, thus those are the reviews we see, the good stuff. In a way you are right though, it is a genius way of marketing, a pro guide that tells us what gear is good, gear that he has tested probably more than most of us will ever test to that extent. After all, Red's needs to sell gear to stay in business, a business I really want to thrive so I can stop by the fly shop on my next trip to the Yakima Canyon!

@@nathansaunders8902 hahaha well put. We're an independent shop, if we "bought it" and put it in our store then we've already filtered out the garbage. If you look at our site we don't carry everything from our vendors. We choose products at Red's to stock that have already made the cut and I personally want to get out and play with.

@@redsflyshop my buddy guides and told me "you got to get Skwala waders" he is on his 3 year using the SKWALA RS WADER. I am leaning towards the skwala carbon wader. I think they might just be light enoughto throw into my backpack. dependability is the very important. Do have any suggestions pro/con. Also I was very interested in the Korkers dark horse. It looks like your in them, any thoughts? thank you for taking time to help us
