Description

Everything you need, nothing you don’t. The Backeddy Wader delivers the fit, finish, durability, and performance you’ve always wished for in a wader with a clean, efficient design. Two years in the making, this wader delivers unique, thoughtful solutions to complicated problems: Magnetic shoulder yoke attachments eliminate line-catching buckles while still giving you Skwala waders’ renowned ease when getting in and out. Removable knee pads give you cushion for close-quarters streambed creeping on wary trout. A pass-through kangaroo chest pocket provides shelter for chilly hands and features dual-sided zippers to prevent hang ups on oar-handles while rowing. An additional zippered drop top pocket holds your phone or other necessities. We added the popular side dump-pockets from our technical sun hoodies for quick, secure access to tippet, floatant, split shot, indicators, or other small items. Of course, the Backeddy Wader comes with our unique gravel gaiters, incredibly comfortable shoulder yoke system, and the comfort, durability, and quality you expect from Skwala. Wrap all these fishy features with the same bomber 4-layer, breathable waterproof fabric as our RS, and you’ve got the wader you’ve been waiting for.

"These things are rugged but move well. I'm about 3 trips into these waders and so far so good. The kneepads are great, and something I didn't think I needed until I got them. Fit is great and these things move well even with layers on. You can really notice the detail and thought that went into these waders."

"Great fit, super comfortable, and well thought out. The shoulder straps, side pockets and knee pads set these apart from other brands. These are the all around wader for Steelhead to blue lines and everything in between here in Appalachia."

"All the features you could ever need, but most importantly they keep you dry. Fit for me was tough. At 6’1 the large tall was too much material and the large is almost not enough, but I was able to get a little extra length through the shoulder straps and yoke. Stocking feet are cut great for allowing easy access into wading boots. Front zip pocket is convenient, especially for stashing a phone, pass through pocket will be great for gloves and the side pockets will be great for a water bottle or bear mace. Definitely the most feature packed waders I’ve ever owned. All in all I’m happy I went with Skwala Backeddy waders and I’m looking forward to years of being dry on the water."

"As a guide, I need quality and functional equipment that works as hard as I do. these waders meet all requirements. they fit like a pant, but with exceptional flexibility. super tough material and very warm. If your buying for the first time I would suggest calling customer service to get the perfect fit. they are sized differently. overall super impressed."

"Bought my first Skwala backeddy waders couple of weeks ago for my fishing trip booked thru ***www.patagonwaters.*** on the Lamiy and Cojjon Cura rivers in Argentina. Best fishing trip I’ve ever been on. Could not be more happy with them. I waded entire day and had to bushwhack to get to my fishing waters and did not get any leaks. They are extremely comfortable and fit great. All the pockets were perfect for the gear I used. I called and ordered them straight from Skwala and the costumer service was first class. Definitely would recommend buying a pair from Skwala."

"Love the waders so far. They are extremely comfortable and the pockets and design is intuitive for stashing gear, phone, bear spray. The knee pads are a wonderful feature that I’ve already saved my knees with a few times!"
