Everything you need, nothing you don’t. The Backeddy Wader delivers the fit, finish, durability, and performance you’ve always wished for in a wader with a clean, efficient design. Two years in the making, this wader delivers unique, thoughtful solutions to complicated problems: Magnetic shoulder yoke attachments eliminate line-catching buckles while still giving you Skwala waders’ renowned ease when getting in and out. Removable knee pads give you cushion for close-quarters streambed creeping on wary trout. A pass-through kangaroo chest pocket provides shelter for chilly hands and features dual-sided zippers to prevent hang ups on oar-handles while rowing. An additional zippered drop top pocket holds your phone or other necessities. We added the popular side dump-pockets from our technical sun hoodies for quick, secure access to tippet, floatant, split shot, indicators, or other small items. Of course, the Backeddy Wader comes with our unique gravel gaiters, incredibly comfortable shoulder yoke system, and the comfort, durability, and quality you expect from Skwala. Wrap all these fishy features with the same bomber 4-layer, breathable waterproof fabric as our RS, and you’ve got the wader you’ve been waiting for.

Essential gear; exceptional quality.

We build the Backeddy Collection to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable across a range of fishing conditions and seasons. If you’re looking for a single apparel system that offers consistent performance in varied weather, this is it. Essential gear systems usually come with caveats: compromised durability, performance, or both. Our Backeddy Collection delivers Skwala-level quality in a kit that covers most fishing situations. Whether you’re gearing up for an annual trip or want to upgrade your weekend angling staples, the Backeddy Collection gives you everything you need with superior design, comfort, performance, and versatility.

Advanced Durability

We built the Backeddy Wader with an ultra-dense 100% polyester microfiber face textile for increased durability and smooth comfort; then finished it with a 4-layer waterproof/breathable laminate for submersible functionality. An anti-microbial finish to the interior wader scrim prevents odor and mildew build up. This textile package provides an ultra-durable shell fabric for increased resistance from punctures and tears. The Backeddy Wader was designed for extreme performance, unmatched durability and incredible comfort.

Magnetic, buckle-free, detachable shoulder straps for ease and comfort getting in and out.

Discrete, dual side dump pockets for easy-access storage of fly pucks, floatant, tippet, bear spray, beverages, and other fishing accessories.

A pass-through kangaroo chest pocket keeps hands warm and zips closed to prevent hang ups when rowing. Additional drop top pocket for smaller fly fishing accessories.

Removable foam knee pads for comfort when creeping up on wary fish.

Reviews

Outstanding quality, but runs slightly large

"Truly impressed with the Backeddy Waders! I love everything about them, including the color. They feel both tough and remarkably lightweight, offering excellent freedom of movement. The pockets are perfectly sized and placed right where you need them, and the suspenders with the quick-release system are super comfortable and well thought out. The only unexpected detail is the sizing: they run a bit large and long. I ordered a size XL and found it slightly roomy for my measurements (the neoprene booties fit perfectly). Overall, top-tier waders that I highly recommend!"

The Adventure is Ready to Begin

"I have not tried this out yet, but look forward to the adventures. They look to be well made with a lot of features. Can’t wait to see how they do."

— Delbert S. (5/5)

Love these waders!

"Love these waders! Booties are fantastic. Seem likely to be more durable than waders I’ve had in the past…. Fit is comfortable and I really like the shoulder straps. I’m 6’2” 210#. And the large 12-14 fit perfect. 👍👍👍"

— Jon G. (5/5)

Absolutely love them!!!

"My first breathable waders after 30+ years of neoprene. Couldn’t be happier with these waders. Very happy with the fit, to include the booty. The material is more to my liking than those of other manufacturers, and I really appreciate the shoulder straps, their adjustability and ease of use. I found that I really like the knee pads and the cuff style gravel guards. The waist belt is held in place by three belt loops and is very convenient for when you either need to pull the waders down or completely off; no worries of losing or misplacing the belt. I have come to be fond of the color, though it does show dirt and/or grass marks easily. Not sure if I can remove the grass marks at this point without affecting the the exterior treatment. 5 stars for me."

— Larry P. (5/5)

"The fit is great, I love the magnetic suspenders, knee pads, and the gravel guards."

— Scott (5/5)

Awesome set of waders

"Great set of waders. Fit very well and leave room for flexibility and movement. Well thought out and designed. The harness system is very comfortable and easy to use and adjust. These waders are built well and do not have areas that could snag on bushes/branches as you hike to the river."

— John C. (5/5)

Most comfortable waders I've ever

"Most comfortable waders I've ever worn. Knee pads are a game changer. Great fit and easy on and off straps. Heavy durable fabric that still moves and flexes where you need it. Feels like these will last many years."

— Peter M. (5/5)

Highly recommend!

"Love the waders so far. They are extremely comfortable and the pockets and design is intuitive for stashing gear, phone, bear spray. The knee pads are a wonderful feature that I’ve already saved my knees with a few times!"

— Tommy W. (5/5)
