Bought my first pair of waders on Amazon for 35 bucks. They performed better than my 500 dollar Redington waders which have leaked twice and been sent back for repair.The only thing I like about my redington waders is that they breath (sorta) and that they are stocking waders. The boots I got are also redington and are falling apart like crazy after 1 year of 1 time a week use.

Got skwala carbons last month. Used them in very cold conditions, and have nothing but good things to say. After seeing this podcast it just reinforces my trust in skwala, and I will continue to buy their products and support their mission.

Raise your hand if you still are rocking neoprene waders that you got in high school 10 years ago 🖐️🫣 I’ve told myself every year I’m going to upgrade but who doesn’t love sweating their buns off while reeling in 8 inch rainbows😂

One of the best reasons to clean gear/ waders is to keep people from carrying organisms such as diatoms (Didymo or rock snot) from one river or stream system to the next.

For sure. That's one part we didn't even mention in the show. Thanks for sharing!

Bought Skwala Carbons few weeks ago ….best waders I’ve ever owned. They fit like hiking pants and make it so enjoyable to hike all day in them. And those quick release suspenders, MONEY!

Thanks Spencer, Kevin and Rich. That was a very informative 47 minutes. I feel much better about making my next wader purchase. I will definitely take Sqwala into consideration unfortunately I live in Ontario, Canada. We have very limited choices in waders that we can try on.

Spend more money on wading boots, they can reduce falls which save your waders from rips and tears. I recommend korkers with studded felt (if they’re legal in your waters)

We love Korkers! Great products.

How about a top load without the center post?

Ummmm. Not 100% sure. Would be cautious/hesitant to try. But you could if you're feeling bold. haha

If the carbons had pockets I’d buy them
@venturesflyco 6 ай бұрын
Their new ones coming out this year might just be what you’re looking for! Right in between the Carbons and RS. And has a pocket. 😎
