RS Wader

Made for anglers who sleep in their trucks but live in their waders, RS Waders offer a completely different wader experience—reimagined from the straps to the gravel gaiters and everything in-between.

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.

Purpose Built

We build the RS Collection to keep you fishing comfortably through even the harshest conditions. Blending innovative textiles with creative, fishing-focused design, RS brings comfort, nuance, and refinement to foul-weather gear. Modern materials, thoughtfully deployed, deliver freedom of motion, exceptional breathability, and unique fit to waterproof and insulated fishing apparel.

Advanced Durability

We built the RS 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 RS Wader was designed for extreme performance, unmatched durability and incredible comfort.

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

Wader torso features a waterproof center zip; 2 zippered fleece-lined hand warming pockets and 2 exterior stretch-woven storage pockets.

Integrated wading belt provides added stability in the lumbar and waist.

Anatomically patterned booties feature fully glued and taped 4mm neoprene with an abrasion resistant sole panel. Interior jersey features an anti-microbial to help reduce bacteria and odor build up.

Buy The Best, Skip The Rest !

"After having spent $2,200 between the other two “Top” competitors, (One leaked on the 3rd time out, the other leaked out of the box). I chose Skwala based on their Values and Quality. Spent 3 1/2 months fishing in New Zealand and absolutely fell in love with the comfort, durability, and functionality of my Skwala Waders. I would Highly Recommend Skwala to Guides, Veterans, and even new to fishing enthusiasts. I spend 200 + days a year on the water, and my gear is second to none as far as reliability ! It’s nice to see a Company Building a name for itself, rather on past efforts, but on Quality and Character! Keep up the Great Work Skwala!!"

— Paul S. (5/5)

Love em!

"at 5'11" and 165lbs, the Large 9-11 was too baggy. Got the Medium 9-11 and much better but slightly tight in crotch. No big deal though, I am always between sizes with clothes so no surprise. I like the feel, straps and pockets and gravelguard system. The one thing I would like to see in my next Skwalla pair is a small fly patch on chest. That's where your hands are when changing flies. Thank you Skwalla!"

— Justiniano C. (5/5)

Absolutely love the RS waders.

"Absolutely love the RS waders. Fishing in the cold waters of Pennsylvania, it's been a struggle keeping warm, but the RS wader has defeated the cold, and allowed more time on the water. Also, the large ankle cuffs makes removing the waders extremely easy. Having a shoe size of 14, has always been a problem with other wader companies. Excellent waders all around, would highly recommend them to all who fishes cold water."

— Layton M. (5/5)

Very happy

"Excellent premium wader! All the details are very well thought out. Fit is exactly as it should be. Easily recommend to anyone. Well done Skawala!"

— Bryan S. (5/5)

RS Waders

"Most comfortable waders I’ve worn, period! Now when I get back to the camp or vehicle the first thing I want is some liquid refreshment, not how fast I can get out my waders."

— Jesse F. (5/5)

Better than Redington

"Waders are comfortable and while it’s too early to say how well they will wear, materials and taping seems to be tough."

— Bruce E. (5/5)

Comfortable and extremely well thought

"Comfortable and extremely well thought out. Love them so far."

— chad t. (5/5)

Very comfortable and warm. Love

"Very comfortable and warm. Love all the pockets with easy access. I feel they are going to wear very well as built very sturdy. So far loving them"

— Arthur L. (5/5)

RS Waders and Boots

"I just posted a separate Joint review for the RS Waders and RS Boots I purchased for an Olympic Peninsula Steelhead trip last week with Brazda's Wid Duc Lodge. The products were the best I've owned over decades. Better than Simms, which I understand has recently been sold twice, with a decline in Quality. Buy Skwala and you'll be thrilled!"

— Jim H. (5/5)

Great wader. Pockets are ample,

"Great wader. Pockets are ample, zipper is sturdy, integrated hip belt is fantastic"

— David E. (5/5)
