Most wading pants on the market are either standard hiking pants rebranded for anglers, or heavy synthetic material that gets uncomfortable after a few hours on the water. Skwala approached both pants in their lineup with fly fishing specifically in mind: wading in current, scrambling over rocky banks, and standing on the water for eight to ten hours at a time.
The Fly Fishers carries both Skwala fishing pants, the Sol Wade Pant for warm conditions and the Thermo 350 Pant for cold-weather fishing and under-wader layering.
A technical wading pant for warm-weather fishing. Works equally well for wet wading, hiking to remote water, and long days on tropical flats.
The cold-weather complement to the Thermo 350 Hoody. Worn under waders, these Merino wool pants provide warmth without the bulk of traditional fleece.
These two pants serve completely different conditions. Many serious anglers keep both in their kit.
When temperatures are high and waders feel too hot, the Sol Wade Pant is the answer. The stretch construction allows full movement through riffles and runs, the quick-dry fabric sheds water fast, and 40+ UPF protection covers your legs on open water with no shade.
Once fall arrives and water temperatures drop, the Thermo 350 Pant earns its place. Worn under breathable waders, the Merino wool construction traps body heat while wicking away moisture. It is significantly more comfortable for long days in cold water than synthetic fleece or cotton.
The Sol Wade Pant is an ultralight, quick-drying pant for warm-weather fishing with 40+ UPF protection. The Thermo 350 Pant is a 350-gram Merino wool cold-weather pant designed to be worn as a base layer under breathable waders.
The Sol Wade Pant is purpose-built for wet wading. Its stretch-woven construction and quick-dry fabric handle full immersion well. The Thermo 350 Pant is not designed for wet wading and should be worn as an under-wader base layer.
Yes, for wet wading in warm conditions, the Sol Wade Pant works as a standalone fishing pant. Many anglers pair it with a good pair of wading boots and lightweight socks for summer creek fishing where waders would be too hot.
Yes. The Thermo 350 Pant was specifically designed to layer under the RS and Carbon waders. The slim performance fit eliminates bunching under wader fabric, and the Merino construction stays comfortable under compression across long fishing days.
