$850.00?! I'll just stay out of the water.
But how are you gonna get to that giant fish rising on the other side of the river? 😂
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.
PVC is not bad 😂
Got some frog togg stocking feet waders, about 100 bucks, breathable and light, keep me dry.
Spencer…you can buy one- leg of neoprene wader for $50 😂
Congrats on 20k guys 🥳🦟🎣
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!
How about functionality- the stocking, belt, suspenders, zippers, and pockets?
If the carbons had pockets I’d buy them
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. 😎
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.
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.
Stoked to hear it! Glad you enjoyed it. Skwala is great!
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😂
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!
Awesome!!
What else are you doing with chest waders.
Great episode with great info! I'm gonna go wash my waders now haha
Haha. Good call. 😎🤙🏽
I taught myself to FF and I kept everything on the down low re $.
Been ff for 5 years and about now til the cold I go in with quick dry hiking pants and boots
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

Devon at VFC provided me with amazing customer service today! Thank you guys
Devon is the bomb!
Stoked to hear it! Glad we were able to get you taken care of. 😎🤙🏽
My academy waders lasted 4 years. My Simms waders leak at the sock after about 1 1/2 years…but boy do I look cool wearing that simms logo around. 😎
Simms g3 so good and worth every penny
Look how long simms been out there period
