Nice fit for the shorter person
"Best waders on the market. I've been through Simms, orvis and vision waders. The RS are a different level of comfort and with the shorter size fit me well."
RS Wader
Built for anglers who immerse themselves in long days and even longer seasons, RS Waders set a new standard for durability and comfort. We reimagined fly fishing waders, from a buckle-less, load distributing shoulder yoke; to an integrated, lumbar supporting wading belt; to unique fourchette leg seams for increased mobility and comfort; to reinforced, boot and sock protecting gravel gaiters. If you relentlessly pursue fish—belly-deep in the flow, scrambling over slick-sharp canyon boulders, punching through brambles, briars, and devil’s club—RS Waders will reset your expectations.

Great waders. Would buy again.
"Purchased these waders for a fishing trip to British Columbia. Wore them 5 days in a row for 10-12 hours a day. There were not overly hot and were comfortable. I appreciate the front pocket placement. I would buy another pair."
Best Rain Gear I've Used
"Purchased the carbon jacket, carbon pant, RS waders, & thermo 300 fingerless gloves. Immediately took a 7 day fishing trip to AK. It rained nearly the entire time and temps ranged from low 40s to 60s. I lived in the gear for the full week - hands down the best rain gear and the best waders I have ever used. The gloves were an excellent choice to keep my hands warm in those weather conditions - even when the gloves got wet they retained the heat. Skwala’s customer service is second to none. They took the time to explain the products as thoroughly as I wanted without pushing it further, answered all my questions and provided no pressure - their demeanor demonstrates genuine interest in the craft. I highly recommend skwala products - you will be amazed with your choice!"
Great bang for your buck!
"Super solid pair of waders. Fish in Alaska 100+ days a year. Keeps you warm, is very abrasive resistant. Resists hooks poking through them, lots of great pockets, the built in wading belt is a great change of pace from a wrap around style belt. The price point of these compared to other top of the line waders is also quite desirable."
"Exceptional quality! Rugged durable and they look great! I was so impressed i bought the RS Boots!"
fish it only once but
"fish it only once but great feel and fit, great freedom of movement"
Good Stuff
"I’ve only had the waders for a short time. So far I love the fit and the gravel guards. The built in belt is a great it’s one less thing to keep track of. The one and done suspender strap adjustment is another great feature. All the details add up save time and make for a smoother outing."
They are super nice, but
"They are super nice, but I should have went with the large shorts instead of the xl short they are a little bigger than I expected but I used them already but I’m definitely happy with them"
Happy Wader
"Great waders so far. The fit is great and they are very comfortable. These are not ideal for warmer days."
Time will tell,
"the first three days were great, scraped on rocks, tress, all day long zero issues. . I’ll tell you in 3 years how they really are."
