Anglers put an immense amount of time, effort and thought into finding and catching fish. Skwala brought that same drive and dedication to creating the next level of fly fishing apparel. We helped their team design and build thoughtful, dependable, and comfortable gear so meticulously built and thoroughly tested you hardly notice it. The goal was to develop purpose-built jackets and waders that allow you to focus on the important things - like going fishing.
“Simplicity in design is the most challenging to solve. It delivers everything you need and nothing you don't.”Kevin Sloan, Skwala Founder
Designing the most functional fly fishing gear on the planet.
Our primary goal was to help develop a new line of advanced fishing gear from the ground up. With function-driven details and materials, these pieces were designed to be fast and light, but bomber enough to withstand any conditions. The objective was to remove excess and unnecessary distractions, allowing anglers to be on the water longer.
Skwala has pushed the needle in fly fishing apparel. They are the fishing partner who never talks too much, never fishes out of your boxes, never drinks the last beer, or finishes the jerky. They are your new go-to fishing partner who’s always ready to go and never lets you down - regardless of conditions.
Starting from the ground up, and dialing in all the little details.
The Carbon Collection is designed for the fast and light. It’s built for anglers whose relentless pursuits carry them across canyons and continents.
Your fishing gear shouldn’t slow you down. We helped design the Carbon Collection as a system featuring a full-length jacket paired with a lightweight convertible wader. Lightweight, waterproof textiles finished with highly breathable laminates are implemented to provide protection from the elements for your pursuits in warmer environments. The Carbon Collection was made for the variable days in the season when the forecast goes from warm to wild.
The RS Collection is built for extreme performance. It’s built for anglers who need gear to keep them on the water, regardless of weather.
If your fishing demands more than your outerwear can handle, this is the gear for you. Fly fishing is not an extreme sport, but it does attract people who push the boundaries and possibilities. The RS Collection was carefully constructed as a system. We helped design a full-zip wader and full-length jacket to keep you dry in the harshest conditions. Assembled using the most advanced materials and a well-considered design approach, we made a system that can handle whatever you can dish out.
