Reviews

Great pants, great company/service

"Great pants, great service. I bought these pants initially from a local fly shop and sadly, the fly shop closed within days of my purchase. The size was not quite right but as expected the fly shop was unable to take it back or exchange anything. So I reached out to Skwala and they were super awesome about allowing an exchange. Now, these pants are some of the most comfortable pants I have owned. Super light weight, seem to dry within minutes of getting soaked, and are just proper. My only issue is mainly that I have short legs and the pants length was too long and I had them hemmed to the appropriate length."

— David C. (5/5)

Functionally comfortable with style.

"This is my second pair that I purchased. Light weight, covering my lower half, with well thought out pockets. Wear these wet wading from Colorado to the Bahamas and from on the plane to brunch."

— Christopher C. (5/5)

My 4th pants!

"Awesome wet wading pants, and for wear at home and around town. Comfortable, durable, and well made! They don’t get tight around the waist after washing per instructions!"

— Eric C. (5/5)

Lightweight and dries quickly

"Extremely lightweight and breathable. The material is unlike any other brands and is great in the summer heat. Dries extremely quick. Love the heavy duty belt loops that actually keep your pants snug."

— Thomas C. (5/5)

"these are a birthday gift for my son in November. Great service, speedy delivery as always with skwala."

— Cheryl (5/5)

Amazing

"I fish tropical and guide a bit. We believe in wading in pressured waters. The pants do it all. They are thermally transparent, solar opaque, and dry faster than ink on paper. I have all 3 of the Sol hoodies. Same thing."

— James R. (5/5)

Great Pants

"These pants fit great, move well and just plain look good."

— David S. (5/5)

Perfect for summer fishing!

"Another 5-star product from Skwala! Love these for wet wading. The pockets are nice, but beware some items (e. g. , lip balm) can easily float out if you're not using the zippered pocket and wade waist deep. I'm usually a 34" waist, but got the 36 for more movement while climbing over rocks and fallen trees. I could've gone with the 34, but I didn't have a shop nearby to try them on. I also like that the belt loops are large so they fit my Arcade belt."

— Mike H. (5/5)

Good but material snags too easily

"Overall pretty good with the exception that the material is snagged too easily. A trip to a brushy stream side will lead to material snags."

— Robert G. (3/5)

SOL Wading Pant and Hoody - YNP to Long Island Sound

"The pants are tremendous; fast drying, and comfortable no matter where you wear them. Also love the SOL Hoody; have pursued Trout in YNP and Montana to Stripers in Long Island Sound - really liking the gear."

— Mike B. (5/5)
