Cold, wet hands can end a fishing day faster than a slow hatch. The Skwala RS Waterproof Gloves are built for anglers who refuse to let weather dictate when they fish. Designed specifically for cold-weather fly fishing, these fully waterproof gloves keep your hands dry and comfortable while preserving the sensitivity and control needed for precise casting and line management.
Unlike bulky insulated gloves that limit dexterity and make it difficult to handle fly line, the RS Gloves use a high-performance waterproof laminate and stretch construction that delivers exceptional feel and mobility. The result is a pair of technical fly fishing gloves that keep water out while maintaining the tactile feedback anglers rely on to cast, mend, strip line, and fight fish effectively.
Whether you’re chasing winter steelhead, fishing icy tailwaters, or battling cold winds on a drift boat, the Skwala RS Waterproof Gloves provide dependable protection without sacrificing performance.
Fishing in rain, snow, and cold conditions demands gloves that truly keep water out. The RS Gloves are built with a Toray® 3-layer waterproof, breathable laminate combined with fully taped seams to create a complete barrier against water.
Inside the glove, a HDry® waterproof liner locks out moisture while still allowing heat and vapor to escape. This breathable system helps prevent the clammy feeling common in traditional waterproof gloves, ensuring your hands remain dry, warm, and comfortable during long days on the water.
The extended cuff design integrates seamlessly with the Skwala RS Jacket, creating a continuous seal that prevents water from entering even when your hands are submerged.
Fly fishing requires delicate line control and constant movement of your hands. The RS Gloves are engineered with a 4-way stretch, hypersensitive textile that allows anglers to maintain direct contact with their gear.
Unlike heavy winter gloves that dull your sense of touch, these gloves provide remarkable sensitivity, allowing you to feel subtle line tension, detect strikes, and handle small knots or flies with confidence.
Articulated finger construction further enhances dexterity, making it easier to perform technical tasks such as tying knots, adjusting leaders, or stripping line in cold weather.
To handle the rigors of repeated casting and line handling, the RS Gloves incorporate Framis Dream™ reinforcement panels on the palms and primary fingertips. These high-wear zones provide improved grip and durability without adding bulk.
The reinforcement helps maintain consistent traction when handling wet fly line, rods, and reels while extending the lifespan of the gloves through multiple seasons of use.
