Most fishing apparel is built for anglers who fish on weekends. Skwala builds their clothing for people who are on the water five days a week, hiking remote creeks before dawn, and still casting at last light. Every piece in the lineup was engineered around a single goal: staying comfortable and protected through whatever conditions the river throws at you.
At The Fly Fishers, we carry the complete Skwala lineup, from ultralight sun shirts and technical wading pants to heavyweight Merino base layers, waterproof rain jackets, and purpose-built waders. Each piece works on its own and integrates seamlessly with the rest of the system.
Skwala organizes their apparel into distinct collections, each engineered for a specific set of conditions. Understanding which collection fits your fishing makes it easy to build a system that actually performs.
The RS Collection was built for anglers who fish hard through every season. The RS Zip Front Wader features a 4-layer waterproof and breathable laminate, a buckle-less G-hook shoulder harness, integrated lumbar support, and fourchette leg seams that allow full mobility when climbing, kneeling, or wading strong current. The RS Waterproof Gloves complete the system for cold-weather days.
The Carbon Collection removes everything that is not essential. The Carbon Wader weighs just 40.9 oz and includes a magnetic drop-top conversion system that lets you go from chest-high to waist-high in seconds. The Carbon Rain Jacket weighs 15.6 oz and uses a 3-layer Toray Entrant laminate with Primeflex four-way stretch fabric, so it packs small and moves naturally with every cast. This collection is ideal for backcountry trips, destination travel, and warm-weather fisheries.
Skwala sources only the finest, longest fibers from New Zealand Merino sheep, then has the wool spun and engineered in Germany. The result is a 350-gram heavyweight hoody and pant that provide natural insulation, moisture wicking, and odor resistance, without the stiffness of synthetic base layers. The Thermo 150 Sun Hoody offers a lighter-weight Merino option that bridges cool and cold conditions.
Built for anglers chasing fish in blazing sun, the Sol Collection uses an 85-gram ultralight polyester fabric that is roughly 30% lighter than standard synthetic sun shirts. The Sol Tropic and Sol Tactical hoodies deliver 40+ UPF protection with scuba-style hoods and concealed thumb loops. The Sol Wade Pant completes the system for full-coverage protection during long days on open water.
The Fusion 3/2 Puffy Jacket combines two different insulation weights in one jacket, putting warmth exactly where you need it without restricting your casting arm. It layers easily over a base layer or under a rain shell, making it the ideal mid-layer for shoulder-season fishing and late-fall trout trips.
The lightest, most packable waterproof shell in the Skwala lineup. Built for warm-weather fisheries where summer storms arrive fast and you need protection without overheating.
The go-to mid-layer for shoulder-season fishing. Pairs with the Carbon or RS rain jacket for a complete cold-weather system.
The warmest piece in the Skwala Thermo Collection. When temperatures drop and the guides start icing up, this is the base layer you reach for first.
A lighter-weight Merino option that bridges the gap between the Sol collection and the heavyweight Thermo 350. Works as a standalone in cool weather or a base layer in cold weather.
Sun protection built for anglers who move a lot, from hiking canyon streams to standing all day on a saltwater flat.
The lightest shirt in the Sol Collection. Built for tropical fishing where staying cool is just as important as staying protected.
Completes the Sol sun protection system from head to toe. Comfortable for long days and durable enough for rough riverbanks.
The cold-weather companion to the Thermo 350 Hoody. Worn under waders, these pants provide warmth without the bulk of traditional fleece.
Built for anglers who fish through cold, wet conditions and need their hands fully functional all day.
A versatile cold-weather glove that works as a standalone in moderate conditions or as a liner inside waterproof shell gloves.
Protects the back of your hands during long days in full sun. A small addition that makes a real difference after a full week on the water.
Getting the most out of Skwala clothing starts with understanding how the collections work together. Each layer is designed to complement the next.
Skwala designs every piece specifically for fly anglers. Their collections focus on casting mobility, breathability during active wading and hiking, and purpose-built features like waterproof zippers and layering-compatible fits. Each piece is engineered to work as part of a complete system, not just as a standalone garment.
The RS Collection prioritizes durability and extreme-condition performance. The Carbon Collection focuses on lightweight packable gear for traveling anglers. The Thermo Collection uses premium New Zealand Merino wool for cold-weather comfort. The Sol Collection delivers ultralight sun protection for hot-weather fishing. The Fusion Collection provides packable insulation for variable conditions.
Yes. The Sol Collection was developed with saltwater anglers in mind, particularly those fishing tropical flats in full sun. The ultralight, breathable construction and 40+ UPF protection make the Sol hoodies popular choices for bonefish, tarpon, and permit fishing.
Yes. The Thermo Collection is designed specifically to be worn under waders. The snug performance fit prevents bunching, and the Merino wool stays comfortable even when compressed under wader fabric. The Thermo 350 Pant and Hoody work together as a complete cold-weather base layer system.
