Our Carbon fly fishing waders are designed to get you where most anglers can’t or won’t go. With a minimalist approach that reduces weight and bulk without sacrificing durability; a buckle-less, load distributing shoulder yoke; a magnetic, drop down upper for easy conversion from chest-high to waist-high; and an athletic cut with fourchette leg seams, Carbon Waders feel more like your favorite pair of pants than waders. If you travel across the globe, or just higher up your local creek than most are willing to venture, the Carbon Wader will make sure you arrive dry and comfortable.

Light & Fast

Your fishing gear shouldn’t slow you down. We designed and developed the Carbon Collection as a system featuring a full-length jacket paired with a lightweight convertible wader. Lightweight, waterproof textiles finished with highly breathable laminates are implemented to provide protection from the elements for your pursuits in warmer environments. The Carbon Collection was made for the variable days in the season when the forecast goes from warm to wild.

Unmatched Breathability & Comfort

Using cutting-edge textiles and design to maximize comfort and flexibility we crafted the Carbon Wader. An ultra-dense 100% nylon face textile built for increased durability and smooth comfort is finished with a 4-layer waterproof/breathable laminate for unmatched breathability and a fully submersible textile. No matter how far you go to find the fish you’re after, the Carbon Waders will get you there.

Advanced shoulder harness is constructed with a heat-set and anatomically patterned shoulder yoke for optimum fit and comfort. Shoulder straps are low profile and buckle-less by utilizing concealed G-hooks for reduced bulk and easy adjustment.

Innovative drop-top feature utilizes magnetic attachments to allow simple and sleek conversion to waist-high waders.

Articulated fourchette leg patterning provides excellent fit and enhanced mobility.

Anatomically patterned booties feature fully glued and taped 4mm neoprene with an abrasion resistant sole panel for comfort, and protection. Interior neoprene is lined with an anti-microbial jersey fabric to help reduce bacteria and odor build up.

Reviews

This is the single most

"This is the single most impactful and important piece of equipment I have ever purchased. Of course I only bought the carbon waders after years of keeping several pairs of cheap waders on life support for far too long. When waders work, you don’t think about them… except for these. They actually are a pleasure to wear. . its like the nicest pair of pants you own combined with the most bad ass piece of tech gear. If you’re unsure… just get them. Trust me."

Scott E. (5/5)

Couldn’t Find the Right Fit

"Didn’t work for me. Review only reflects sizing options. Seems like a great pair of waders but I couldn’t find a size that worked for me. The medium booties were tight without socks while the length and body were good. Tried a Large and the booties worked but the body was too big for my liking."

Jacob F. (4/5)

Appreciate the quality and craftsmanship

"Appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of my new Carbon Waders!"

Fantastic waders. Fit well, comfortable

"Fantastic waders. Fit well, comfortable and seem bullet-proof. Also, shipping was shockingly fast - was wearing the waders two days after placing my order. Great work!"

David H. (5/5)

Simply the Best

"Simply the best most comfortable waders I have ever worn!!! Easy on and off. The gaiter style cuff and convertible bib designs are genius. My next pair of zip front cold weather waders will be Skwala. Big thanks to the Men and Women at Skwala for making my fly fishing days on the water that much more enjoyable."

James L. (5/5)

"Fantastic waders, very light, the features are really nice. First time out and temps were high 80’s. Had to teach an all day class and they kept me cool the entire time. Looking forward to using them in this summer in Oregon and Montana. They compliment my heavier waders perfectly!"
